With Game of Thrones as popular as ever, and us being unable to contain our excitement for the arrival of the white walkers, we've been scouring the land for the best wedding ideas for a Game of Thrones inspired wedding. From invites and flowers to entertainment and cakes, take a look at our favourites.

Game of Thrones the wedding guide

The Venue

Castles are the perfect setting for a grand medieval affair and certainly make for some exquisite backdrops in your photographs.

Or perhaps head to the woodland and recreate Sansa Stark's mystical wedding to the infamous Bolton - Facebook's founding president Sean Parker certainly went with that idea!

The Invitations

Now if you can deliver your invites by raven that really would be special, but we can settle for sealed scroll with some perfect calligraphy instead.

The Rings

You could go the whole hog with the sun and stars linking rings (getting into Mighty Morphin Power Rangers territory), or go for the more subtle ice connection.

The Bride

With so many weddings in Game of Thrones, the array of dresses leaves us breathless. Margaery's wedding gown in her first Lannister wedding is almost Elven - just make sure your man is no Joffrey!

Or perhaps if you're going for a winter wedding, a dress inspired by the long sleeved gown from Sansa's wedding is super elegant, especially teamed with a fur bolero.

The hairstyles of Game of Thrones are infamous - if only we all had hair like Daenerys! But we can recreate with some plaits and delicate headpieces...

Don't forget the killer shoes!

And something special just for your other half...

The Groom

It's the little details we love, especially the button-hole alternative.

The Flowers

Deep reds and forest greens are an absolute must! Luckily we know some florists who could do just the job.

The Ceremony

Elegance galore for a royal Lannister style, or perhaps instead of the confetti walk try it with some swords instead - just don't swing them around!

A friend of mine had this at their wedding last month - a harpist played for the congregation before the bride arrived, and what did we hear? That's right - the Game of Thrones theme! (owl not included)


And don't forget to add some of the beautiful quotes into your vows.

The Wedding Breakfast and Reception

So many options for a grand feast, but all we simply must recommend is candles, candles, candles.

A hog roast dinner will take you right back to season 1 and that boar that kills King Robert (starting off the never-ending saga of the fight for the throne), and it makes it easy to feed your guests.

Don't forget to decorate! Can't go wrong with an ice sculpture.

The Cake

There were just so many great cake ideas out there, but even if you just fancy a simple sponge, a token topper will be the icing on the cake.
