How To Incorporate Sci-Fi Themes in Your Fantasy Wedding
Make the most important day of your life even more special by adding your favorite sci-fi-themed movie or show to the celebration. From your wedding vows to your reception music, all elements can have a special theme included to help transport guests into another world.
Below are the best tips and inspiration for incorporating your favorite sci-fi theme into your wedding day. You’ll even learn about the Sci-Fi Wedding Chapel, which does all the decorating and planning for you!
Pick Your Favorite Sci-Fi Theme
To create sci-fi-themed vows and wedding celebrations, you need a main concept to work from. It could be an homage to Star Wars or a retro throwback like in Back to the Future.
Choosing a theme sets the tone for the entire celebration. All your decorations, attire, and even vows can all play off the original sci-fi theme you’ve chosen.
Here are some popular themes to choose from:
- Star Wars
- Star Trek
- Doctor Who
- The Matrix
- Firefly
Once you have a theme in mind, start thinking of clever quotes from the movie that remind you of your partner. You can include these quotes in your vows or use the quotes as decorations on tables or walls.
You can also incorporate elements from the chosen theme into your wedding attire and decorations. For example, if you choose a Star Trek theme, you and your partner could wear Starfleet uniforms or incorporate small Starfleet badges into your outfits.
In Las Vegas, the Sci-Fi Wedding Chapel has built entire sets to transport your wedding to another galaxy. Instead of painstakingly making and buying specific decorations for your wedding, everything is provided for you.
Make It Personal
Your wedding is a day you will never forget, so it should reflect your personal style and interests.
Including special things about you and your partner’s life in the sci-fi themes will help make the celebration feel even more personal and unique. For example, a wedding cake could have a Death Star design on the outside but your favorite flavors inside. You could also ask guests to dress up as their favorite sci-fi characters and incorporate them into games or activities during the reception.
You could also replicate clothing from the shows but include your favorite colors on the garments. The guests won’t expect it, and you’ll create a unique statement for your wedding.
Create a Sci-Fi Ceremony Script
From the introduction to your vows, every moment of your sci-fi wedding is an opportunity to add a little personalization to your big day.
You can create a ceremony script based on the chosen sci-fi theme that follows the plot of a movie. Simply including references and quotes from the show or movie is enough to help people understand the concept.
You could also incorporate particular elements like a lightsaber exchange instead of rings or a TARDIS time capsule for your guests to leave well wishes in.
The Sci-Fi Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas has a proven script ready to tug on the heartstrings while still matching the tone and feel of your sci-fi-themed wedding.
Personalizing Chapel Features
Normal chapels don’t quite have the intergalactic feel you might want. You need to personalize your chapel to make it an otherworldly event special enough for your wedding.
For starters, you could have custom decorations made to represent your chosen theme. These decorations don’t have to be bought either. You can easily create your own DIY sci-fi-themed decorations with a little craft supplies and time.
If you really want to go out, you could hire popular characters from your chosen theme to interact with guests and make the experience feel more immersive.
The Sci-Fi Wedding Chapel features specific characters from your favorite sci-fi movies and shows who can even pronounce you married while dressed in full costume.
Here are a few characters you can pick:
- Darth Vader
- Chewbacca (without translator)
- Princess Leia
- Spock
- Wicked Witch (Oz)
- Michael Myers
- Elvira
The entire chapel is already decorated to look like a spacecraft from another world. You step immediately into the story as soon as you enter. Instead of spending time decorating your wedding, let the Sci-Fi Wedding Chapel do all the work.
Capturing the Moment
You don’t want to put the time, effort, and money into creating a unique and special sci-fi wedding and never be able to look at it again. You need to capture your special moments so they can live on for years to come.
Consider setting up a picture wall with a scene from your sci-fi theme. You can even include props from that movie or show that guests can use while taking pictures. Lightsabers, futuristic gadgets, or atmospheric settings will transport your guests to another world.
You can also hire a photographer to capture unique and creative wedding photos. They can help you bring your sci-fi theme to life through their photography skills.
To help you focus on the big day, the Sci-Fi Wedding Chapel has a full-time photographer ready to capture all the moments inside our unique wedding reception venue.
