Rumor has it that there are more Harry Potter fans on earth than there are stars in our solar system. But few of them can claim to be bigger fans of the world famous heptalogy than newlyweds Cassie and Lewis Byrom.
To celebrate their mutual adoration for J.K. Rowling’s most famous series, the Potterheads decided to throw a Harry Potter-themed wedding unlike any you’ve ever seen before. The wedding took more than a year to plan and the couple used Ebay and charity shops to ensure that every single detail was faithful to the books. Each of the 130 guests received a wand upon arrival and the bridesmaids carried paper bouquets made from 20 cut-up novels. The rings were presented on a copy of the Half Blood Prince and were both inscribed ‘Always’ in homage to Severus Snape. They even had their faces printed on wanted posters from the Ministry of Magic! Sorry Potter fans, but this one’s going to take some beating!

Cassie and Lewis Byrom decided to have a wedding inspired by their favorite thing in the world…
Harry Potter!
And as you can see from these pictures, no detail was spared on their big day
From shoes…
To jewelry…
The bride’s nails even had the deathly hallows sign drawn on them, for crying out loud!
And don’t forget the underwear!
The bridesmaids bouquets were made from 20 cut-up Harry Potter books…
And the groom had his own magical Harry-Potter accessories
They swapped the usual ring cushion and replaced it with the final Harry Potter book
And they got married under a Hogwarts banner
Each of the 130 guests were given a wand
They couple had Manchester’s Midland Hotel transformed into their very own Hogwarts!
The tables were decorated with various artifacts from the Harry Potter universe
The cake was also suitably magical
The bar was stocked with all sorts of potions
And the table settings were also scattered with pages from the books
This isn’t the first Harry Potter-themed experience that the couple have shared
Last year they got engaged in Diagon Alley In Harry Potter World in Orlando, Florida
Even the famous scene of Harry and Ron getting chased by Acromantulas found a place in this wedding
And the forever lost Rowena’s Ravenclaw’s diadem was found decorating this guest table
Every child (and adult) would be jealous of this magical desert table
The guest book table was decorated with round glasses and owls
Their biggest mischief was managed and they lived happily ever after…

Share on FacebookThat was my reaction too - how could someone do that to books that they supposedly love so much? I cringe when one of my pages bends for a fraction of a second, let alone rip it on purpose o.o

Everything is fine.... But making bouquets out of books.... That's absolutely horrible...
I'm making my bouquets out of book pages as well (not a specific book theme though) so I picked up some cheap Harlequin romance novels at a thrift store to tear apart because they're the only books I could stand to destroy ;) I'd never do it with anything worth reading!
Load More Replies...Let me just clear one thing up, no loved books were harmed making my flowers! I spent months looking for old unloved worn out books at boot sales and charity shops. I then recycled them and turned them into something that was not only used on one of the most important days of my life but is something that I will cherish forever. I see that far better than ending up on a rubbish tip and being recycled in to someone's toilet paper! People moaning about it need to open their minds a bit, worn out things get recycled every day.
I would give anything just to have one of those copies of HP. I have dreamed of owning one of the UK editions of Harry Potter.
Load More Replies...Since when is "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" the last book? Pretty sweet wedding though
That's what I was going to say! I thought it was just me...
Load More Replies...Am I the only one who would totally swipe a decoration into my purse to decorate my own house?
I would bring a garbage bag filled with bubble wrap and swipe all the table decorations

THE DEATHLY HALLOWS IS THE LAST BOOK PEOPLE THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE IS NUMBER 6
Lovely article and wedding I must say , just one issue- your opening line says more harry potter fans than stars in our solar system, our solar system has only one star though.....
Making bouquets out of the books, table setting with pages from the book. Biggest Harry Potter fan alright. Btw, since when is the Half Blood Prince the final Harry Potter book??? Kudos.
good ideas for these themed wedding https://sunnydaygift.com/harry-potter-wedding/
Nice, but so much money spent on it? No. I'd rather sponsor the books to children, that can't afford them, instead of that. Too much is too much.
The whole thing looks amazing and I'm totally jealous but GAAAAHHHHH!!!!! Stop tearing up the books!!!! I'd just as rather see bouquets made out of mandrakes

There's only one star in the solar system. Likely you meant galaxy...
Just like to point out that of course there are more HP fans than stars in our solar system - we only have one star in our system.
What a bunch of whiney-a*s cry babies. No one can do anything right these days can they? Everyone's gotta get their pretentious panties in a twist about everyone's every move. For f**k's sake, it's a beautiful wedding, and like she said she wasn't maliciously ripping her favourite books apart. Just stop your holier-than-thou nonsense.
Jeeze, what a bunch of whiney a*s cry babies. It's a beautiful wedding. Can't anyone be happy these days? For f**k's sake.
What i want to know is if they are selling their decor now lol.... i wouldnt mind a few of those items.....
Destructing copies/editions of Harry Potter that I have been dying to get my hands on..... *slowly dies inside*
There appears to be only one bouquet - no sign of bridesmaids - it is beautiful even though I think they could have used toilet paper with the same effect
This would have made an awesome wedding present for them! https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/274740502/happiness-can-be-found-harry-potter?ref=shop_home_active_20
There's only one star in our solar system... That's beyond ignorant, so funny. :D
No, I think they should do what makes THEM happy on THEIR wedding day.
