The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Inspired Shoot

Brannan Events & Floral Design brought the magic with this Harry Potter inspired wedding shoot with florals by Enchantment Floral! And these enchanting captures by Molly Kate Photography? Get ready to be mesmerized.

From the designer, "As a true Harry Potter fan I have been counting down the days until the 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,' movie comes out."

"So about three weeks ago I had the idea to pay homage to the Wizarding World by doing a Slytherin inspired wedding shoot."

"We wanted something a little more edgy than your typical Hogwarts' throwdown."

"Our goal was to transport you to the glamorous wedding of Draco Malfoy and his bride, Astoria Greengrass."

"Since they were both in Slytherin house it made sense for their wedding to be influenced by their house colors (black + green) and symbol (snake)."

"No detail went over-looked; we had snake print chargers, their Hogwarts trunks, a banner with the school motto, invitations delivered by owl, and the bride even adorned snake braids in hair."

"We tried to make this a nostalgic shoot for Harry Potter fans and tried to create inspiring and relatable content for real couples!"

...the Slytherin common room and dormitories are located in Slytherin Dungeon.
To enter the Dungeon, you must go through a concealed stone wall.

You must present the correct password (it changes every fortnight) to open the wall and reveal the entrance to the common room.
