We know that you can’t get over the Game of Thrones. And this is why you are here for Games of Thrones-inspired wedding ideas.
For this hit TV series fans, planning a wedding with elements inspired by the show can be an exciting and memorable experience. As you incorporate this wedding theme into your special day, you and your guests will be transported to the fantastical world of Westeros.
From invitations to decorations, we give you these Game of Thrones wedding theme ideas for an unforgettable celebration filled with the elegance and grandeur of the Seven Kingdoms.
Game of Thrones Wedding Color Palette
Start your Game of Thrones wedding planning by choosing a house. It serves as the foundation of your wedding theme. The noble House Stark embraces a winter-inspired color palette. You can incorporate icy blues, cool grays, and crisp whites.
If the House Tyrell is your favorite, the wedding color palette involves vibrant florals and lush greens. You can combine shades of green with yellows, purples, and pinks. But for a coastal-inspired Game of Thrones wedding theme, House of Greyjoy provides shades of deep blue, weathered neutrals, and stormy grays.
Medieval Aesthetic of Game of Thrones Wedding Invitations
Let your guests initially feel the sophistication and fantasy vibe of your Game of Thrones-inspired wedding as they receive invitations. They are infused with medieval design, intricate patterns, ornate calligraphy, and motifs highlighting the sigils of the noble houses.
You can incorporate the Dothraki iconic declaration of love, “Moon of My Life,” or consider the House of Stark’s wolf sigil. These elements add an extra layer of authenticity to your wedding theme.
Game of Thrones Wedding Reception and Décor
For a realistic Game of Thrones vibe, look for receptions that resemble grand estates, castles, or rustic settings with a touch of medieval charm. Opt for a castle-like hall or a historic mansion that offers the essence of Westeros.
You can decorate the reception with banners, candelabra, and tapestries to recreate the aesthetics of Westeros. To enhance the ambiance, incorporate elements such as Iron Throne replicas, dragon eggs, and medieval-inspired table settings. Flickering fire pits, ornate carpets, and richly colored textiles create a warm and inviting vibe.
Winter Is Coming Tablescape
Decorate your dining area with icy blue candles floating in the water, cards on twigs, and vibrant bloom centerpieces to create a Winter Is Coming tablescape. Other medieval touches include wrought iron vases, a vintage cake stand, pewter wine goblets, and cutlery’s black velvet ribbon.
Alternatively, you can use replica weapons, House signils, or banners as eye-catching centerpieces. The table runners and chair cover must match the linens in your wedding color palette. Table card numbers must be according to the House with guests of the same family seated together. You can add House colors to each table, like Lannister red or Baratheon yellow.
Game of Thrones-Inspired Outfits and Accessories
A white wedding dress needs to be your Game of Thrones wedding highlight. Think of Lady Margaery Tyrell’s flowing gowns in white with lace. Ideally, your gown must have cape sleeves, dramatic cuts with layers of lace, and delicate patterns. But ensure its medieval-style flow does not look highly costume-y.
Instead of flowers, go for a rhinestone or quartz tiara to acquire a touch of glam. You can also add Lady Sansa of Winterfell’s faux fur cover-up.
The outfit inspiration for the grooms is a black tuxedo featuring a black faux fur wrap like Jon Snow wore in The Night’s Watch. Alternatively, they can wear a full black outfit, a la Jon, while the groomsmen can dress like the Stark brothers.
Majestic Game of Thrones Wedding Bouquet
Your Game of Thrones wedding bouquet can be crafted using blooms representing the different characters or houses. The red roses for House Lannister symbolize their wealth and power, the purple irises for House Targaryen reflect royalty and magic, or the blue delphiniums for House Stark represent strength and loyalty.
But a sage and oxblood bouquet is popular if you don’t want to stick to these representations. It combines eucalyptus greens, white mums, and burgundy dahlias. You can add red-hanging amaranthus and silver accents for an extra touch of color and sophistication.
Game of Thrones Hairstyles
Different Game of Thrones-inspired hairstyles will bring out your inner royalty on your wedding day. To unleash your inner Mother of Dragons, opt for Daenerys Targaryen’s intricate braids and adorn them with gold or silver hairpins.
A Cersei-inspired updo is perfect if you appreciate the House Lannister’s elegance and sophistication. The intricately woven twists and braids mirror her unparalleled comment. Then, complete the look by adding a crystal tiara or a golden hairpiece to display your inner lioness.
Woodland Ceremony Setting
Woodland is an ideal location for your Game of Thrones wedding ceremony while having the reception indoors. Look for a place with lush greenery and towering trees. This woodland ceremony setting can provide a magical backdrop with dappled sunlight filtering through the branches.
You can decorate the ceremony aisle with tall flowers, lush florals, bundles of moss, and old logs.
Royal Welcome Sign
Welcome your guest to the reception with a beautifully crafted sign. The design can feature the Westeros major houses’ signils, ornate details, and intricate carvings. The welcome sign can display the phrase “Welcome to Our Game of Thrones Union” in elegant calligraphy.
You can also consider the emblematic Iron Throne as the sign’s centerpiece. Adorn it with shimmering metallic accents.
Fantastical Game of Thrones Wedding Cake
Incorporate the fantastical elements of Game of Thrones into your cake. You can employ dragon scales and the infamous “Moon of My Life” line in the design. You can also try decorations like a three-headed dragon, lions, swords, dire wolves, and shields.
You can also have a cake that boasts a stunning replica of the Iron Throne. It reminds your guests about the characters who fight for power.
Let the Seven Kingdoms inspire your big day. With these Game of Thrones-inspired wedding ideas, you and your guests can enter a world of fantasy, romance, and elegance.
