In celebration of National Star Wars Day (otherwise known as May the 4th), we've put together some inspiration for brides who are dreaming of a stylish and chic Star Wars wedding day. When it comes to the more "wacky" wedding themes, it can be difficult to create the right balance between fun and elegance so that your wedding doesn't end up looking like a 12-year-old's birthday party. So, from lightsaber bouquets and a Star Wars wedding dress, to Princess Leia inspired hairstyles, unleash your inner Jedi with these fun ideas.

1). Invitations

For any kind of themed wedding, invitations are a great way to show your guests what to expect on the big day. Set your intergalactic theme with a cute starry background and some Star Wars hints. How about adding some quotes from the movies?

2). Shoes

Imagine walking down the aisle in your own pair of personalised Star Wars shoes. We absolutely love these R2D2 inspired heels - perfect for your 'something blue'!

3). Hair

No Star Wars bride is complete without a gorgeous Princess Leia inspired hairstyle. Modernise her iconic look with sleek twists of hair, creating a stylish halo around your hair. For extra Star Wars style: add some sparkly starry accessories!

4). Table Numbers

Table names and numbers are an amazing way to add to the theme of your wedding day. We love these vintage style cards, and think they would make the perfect addition to a Star Wars themed wedding.

5). Cakes

If you are stuck for ideas for how to incorporate Star Wars into your wedding cake, then use some mini action Star Wars figures from any toy shop to make adorable themed cake toppers. Or, shop around on Etsy and you're guaranteed to find something you love!

6). Galaxy Prints

For a more understated take on a Star Wars wedding theme, we love these galaxy details. From a simple galaxy print bow tie, to an entire space-themed cake, make sure your Star Wars day has plenty of this gorgeous galaxy print.

12). Yoda Details

No Star Wars wedding is complete without its fair share of Yoda wisdom. This unique sign is a great way to incorporate Yoda into your day, and we also think origami Yoda centrepieces would make a lovely touch to the tables at your wedding breakfast.
