How We Brought Their Fantasy Wedding to Life...and Survived a Power Outage Doing It

Q: What was the couple’s vision?
When they said “Think Lord of the Rings meets Dungeons & Dragons,” we knew this wasn’t just a wedding, it was world-building. With a bold orange-and-purple palette and a deep love of all things fantasy, we dove headfirst into their enchanted forest dreamscape. (Yes, we did our homework. And no, Pinterest had nothing on this.)

Q: What did the vibe feel like?
Whimsical. Woodsy. Wonderfully weird...in the best possible way. The bride’s vibrant purple hair and the groom’s patterned suit set the tone: bold, unconventional, and unapologetically personal. Even the wedding party rocked custom D&D character pins. This wasn’t just a theme; it was a lifestyle.

Q: What made the ceremony space magical?
We designed an enchanted woodland aisle layered with winding greenery and florals, so the space felt like nature had staged a romantic takeover. The couple requested a hexagon arch, so naturally, we transformed it with dragonwood (because of course) and dripping asymmetrical florals in deep oranges, moody purples, and lush greens. Think Rivendell… but with a forest rave twist. Oh, and the bride’s bouquet? Totally unstructured, wild, alive. Straight out of the forest floor.

Q: Were there personal touches?
So many:
  • Symbolic knot-tying during the ceremony
  • Fantasy-inspired soundscapes greeting guests
  • Custom animated backdrops at the reception
  • Dragon-eye soap favors
  • And a fantasy creature cake — sword-sliced, dragon topper and all. Anything less? Blasphemy.

Q: What did the reception look like?
Imagine stepping into an immersive realm. Botanical lighting with trees dripping in moss. Centerpieces that felt like they grew out of the tables. Moss, wood textures, flickering candles, and dark rattan chargers grounding the whole fantasy vibe. It pulsed with that surreal “Am I in a video game or a dream?” energy.

Q: Any unexpected twists?
Oh, just a casual power outage mid-reception. No big deal.
Luckily, this wasn’t our first battle with dark forces. We kept the vibe alive and proved that not even a blackout can dull the magic of a well-designed wedding.

Q: Final verdict?
Legendary. A masterclass in immersive storytelling, bold Tampa wedding design, and proving fantasy weddings can be chic AF.
