Movie-lovers unite! If a specific movie has a special meaning for you and your partner, why not incorporate it into your big day? The challenge here is to not be overly cheesy with the design.

It’s easy to over-theme a wedding cake, and then run the risk of hating it in the decades to come. Instead, its best to go subtle. Here are some ideas on how to incorporate your favourite franchise into your big day in a way that still looks timeless.

Happy 1st Anniversary to Casey and David. As a massive Star Wars nerd when someone asks to create a themed wedding cake on May 4th, it is the biggest thrill. Congratulations and May the Fourth be with you!

Mischief Managed! I loved making this Harry Potter wedding cake with gold leaf (you wouldn’t believe how much gold leaf I’ve gone through this week 😅) and handmade golden snitches – in Lemon/Chocolate Guinness/Carrot ⚡️ #lilypinkbakery #harrypotter #harrypottercake #harrypotterweddingcake

Can you spot the hidden Mickey? • • I wanted to add a subtle hint of Disney into our wedding as much as possible! I had a vision from Pinterest and ended up bringing two different design options to our baker. We decided to incorporate both looks into one! • • Our cake topper was from Target! (🙌🏻) We decided to go the traditional route and save the top of our cake for our anniversary. I’m wondering 🤔 if it will still taste good?!

@unconventional_wedding have been celebrating all things movie themed weddings over on their stories all week, this was one of my absolute fave wedding cakes from last year (and probably ever!) made for big Lord Of The Rings fans Joy and Joe when they celebrated their day at @canterbury_cathedral_lodge. __________________________ #lordoftherings #lotr #wedding #cakedecorating #cake #weddingcake #canterbury #canteburycathedral #canterburywedding #lordoftheringswedding #lordoftheringscake
