As the premier Harry Potter wedding photographer in Houston, I have seen and been inspired by some magical wedding ideas! As a Hufflepuff, I felt like it was time to bring the Harry Potter house into the spotlight, especially since the other houses seem to get the most attention {I am looking at you Gryffindor and Slytherin}. In fact I haven’t found any Hufflepuff wedding inspiration at all, so I wanted to get it going. Let’s also recognize that yellow is a hard color to incorporate into a wedding look because if you go too bright you blind people. Oh and if you use too much then your wedding looks like a big sunflower.
The key to Hufflepuff wedding inspiration is to be strategic where the yellow and black are utilized. I also feel like instead of a dark black, shades of darker grey and pewter could be used to make things a little less jarring. In all of the inspiration images I have amassed, I have focused on having white being the color that balances the overall look and feel of this inspiration.
Hufflepuff Wedding Inspiration
Outfits
I love the intricate gold detailing on the bridal gown shown below. It’s a small but elegant way to work some Hufflepuff magic into the bridal gown. It also has an art deco feel to it that I love! I also love the shoes at the bottom as an aded golden touch for the bride.
For bridesmaid dresses I embraced the idea of gold glitter glam!! Paired with black or pewter heels, it is the perfect Hufflepuff look, while still being elegant.
Details
I seriously love all the gold in these details. I want to call out the frames for the seating on the black backboard, that’s my favorite touch. I would just the frames that are a bit more symmetrical, but I love the overall aesthetic. And of course, I would use Harry Potter font because that would fun!
Of course the showstopper to me are the invitations by Faith into Art–she specializes in elegant geek invitations! I have photographed a few of her sets, and the Hufflepuff set is my favorite. Isn’t it beautiful? Doesn’t it inspire you??
Reception
This is where the fun Hufflepuff wedding inspiration comes in! I love the top image with the gold and the feather, it’s super Hogwarts! I also love the drink in the second picture, it’s magical!! There are so many ways to have a glam table setting with gold and black, I couldn’t decide.
As for cake, you could do a marble look with that awesome topper. Or you could go all white with some gold detailing, but with more of a Harry Potter feel.
Is your head spinning with ideas? Isn’t it beautiful when you take a theme and then twist it a little to make it elegant? I would love to know what inspires you! Let me know in the comments!
