Abracadabra!

Hello and happy Saturday!  Had the pleasure of going to the amazing Magic Castle with my girls last night and not only did we have a blast, but it sparked an idea for a wedding inspiration post!  I'm definitely having a vintage moment these days and there are so many cool things you could do with a vintage magic theme!  Some images to get you thinking...

Think of all the cool invitation designs you could come up with based on these awesome old posters.  You could also incorporate the style into the rest of your printing and your decor.  So many options!

When it comes to fashion, think magician's assistant, but a little less revealing.

These sparkly dresses would be super cute and fun for your bridesmaids (and totally wearable after the big day!).

I am absolutely in love with Anne Hathaway's dress (bottom left).  So gorgeous and perfect for a magic inspired wedding!

Choosing a magic theme isn't all about top hats, rabbits, and wands.  Use the vintage elements to influence items like your cake and flowers, and bring in the magic elements as the details.  Instead of boring table numbers, use vintage playing cards.  As with all themes, the key is to not go overboard.  And maybe plan a trip to the Magic Castle for some further inspiration!
