Unveiling the magic of a Harry Potter themed wedding, that will leave you spellbound!

Writer: PurplePumpkinCakeCoPurplePumpkinCakeCo

Imagine stepping into a world where the magic of Hogwarts intertwines with the joy of celebrating love. Abbi and James' Harry Potter themed wedding offered an enchanting experience that celebrated their creativity. From a sorting hat wedding cake, to cauldron cupcakes, their wedding theme left everyone utterly spellbound.


Planning such a whimsical event can feel overwhelming, but with a sprinkle of creativity, a dash of organization, and a focus on the beloved elements of Harry Potter, couples can create an unforgettable day that reflects both their love for the series and each other. Lets see how Abbi and James did just that!


Setting the Scene: A Wizarding Wonderland


The atmosphere of a Harry Potter themed wedding should transport guests to the magical halls of Hogwarts. Every detail, from the cake to the decorations, should echo the iconic universe.

Imagine a venue adorned with winged keys, and letters from Hogwarts, creating an inviting air of magic. Where every table is named after a Hogwarts wizarding class. And the Owl post collect those all important cards and gifts for the happy couple!

Overall, the ambiance should evoke warmth, nostalgia, and a sense of adventure.

A Sweet Touch: Honeydukes-Inspired Delights


No trip to the magical world is complete without indulging in the sugary delights from Honeydukes! A sweet table bursting with colorful candies, chocolate frogs, and Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans provided a fun and delicious touch to the reception.


Setting up this whimsical candy bar added a visual treat while keeping guests entertained as they selected their favorite sweets.

An epic Wedding Cake Provides A Spellbinding Touch To This Harry potter Themed Wedding!


Abbi and James' wedding cake was skillfully designed and decorated to take center stage.

When I suggested to the couple that they could have the Sorting hat cake atop a stand full of cauldron cupcakes, they were overjoyed! I then went onto suggest that inside the cauldrons should be different coloured sponges, which the guests wouldn't see until they started eating them. This would tell them which Hogwarts school house they would be in.


The sorting hat would essentially be choosing which Hogwarts school house the guests were in!

Flavours were inspired by the Harry potter series, with bubblegum, butterscotch, and liquorice taking centre stage! But the cauldron toppers showed no sign of what was hidden underneath!

As the guests plunged their spoons into the cauldron, the colours of their true Hogwarts school house were revealed! Do you know what house you should truly be in??

A Day to Cherish


Abbi and James wedding was more than just an event—it was a heartfelt celebration wrapped in enchantment, creativity, and magic. Each detail, from the sweet treats to the decor, allowed the couple to weave their favorite elements of the Harry Potter series into their special day, crafting a narrative that was both personal and memorable.


For couples who adore Harry Potter, I would totally recommend taking a leaf out of Abbi and James (Magical creatures) book, and plan your own unforgettable day, bringing to life the magic. With the right touches and a sprinkle of creativity, a themed wedding inspired by this timeless series will leave everyone truly spellbound!
