So my fiance and I have been planning a lot and we're having a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic theme wedding. It's already glamorous, nooooot cartoony and I have my dress too. I'll be wearing my unicorn horn and pegasus wings. Im so excited and I love how much my man loves the show too. Ive met some really rude people who talk horribly on my theme, but I do not care one bit. It makes us happy. We're all about it and we're very detailed with exactly what we want.

Very unique! Do what makes you happy, it’s your day! People can be very mean something. We’ve received some backlash for having an early ceremony & reception, done by 4pm. But we love the idea of not waiting all day to see each other and being able to celebrate all day long with each other. Good luck & happy planning!

Aww that's really sweet. Thank you! I am actually really stressed about the fact I know the day is mostly going to be us not interacting privately we will be with friends and performing too. I still want to do it, but I see what you mean by missing eachother. I'm sorry people were mean to you about it...I was told my theme is pathetic and that it's my wedding not my middle school prom. Wedding wire forums can be so brutal. But now I'm not backing down from what I believe in, and neither should you!!
These are awesome! Totally do what you want! It’s your day! Please keep us updated! The sketches look awesome and I hope you have awesome blast making them happen! People are rude and will be rude with whatever you decide so do what you love and what makes you and your fiancé happy! Good luck!

Thank you so much!! I tried really hard to find as much as I could on MLP weddings but they're just wasnt much info. So now I've started my own pinterest board! You can check up on it when you likeep, I'll be adding my photos and sketches there ♡ https://pin.it/3ypjv6a2ostsdi
It's definitely unique and I love how you're doing it! My mom keeps bugging me about our "theme" and I told her it's a wedding and not prom, but now I'm going to tell her Dragon Age and watch her head explode! Don't let anyone dull your sparkle!
Wow! Totally unique couple, love that you’re both on the same page.
For themed weddings, it can stay elegant and not look like a tacky kids party by choosing an elegant/cool venue and using real china/decor. Then themed decor added in works fine. For our pirate reception, we chose a cool wine cave in Napa. Nice China, linens & gold candelabras. The pirate decor (mast, chest) were made from real materials like cloth, burlap, wood and metal for an authentic look & feel. Then we had a few foam skulls and plastic chains and other cheaper materials but those blended in fine.
I LOVE THIS!!!! My son is a brony and I love how supportive the community is. I bought him MLP socks to wear for the wedding and he asked if he could wear his changeling tie clip. My wife and I loved it and thought it was the perfect addition to his outfit. I think your wedding will look amazing. Congratulations and happy planning!

Do you have photos?! I try to tell people it will look elegant not tacky, but they're just so judgemental. I'm a photographer, with my MUA license and cosmetology skills too so I'm so used to making really glamorous stuff.

Omg that's so cool! We're actually having cardboard cutouts at a table, that are changelings. Our family is not invited because they're incestuous predators who were suing...so the changelings at the table are going to have their names.
OMG I'm so sorry you're going through that but that is a funny way to deal with it. Our handfasting ceremony was on the same day as the series finale and my son originally planned to excuse himself at the end of the night to watch it but ended up watching the next day instead. We had so many little nerd touches, his simply added to the whole thing. He even played the song Cadence and Chrysalis sing on the day of the big wedding for me before we got married. It made me tear up.
It was a huge help for me to model our reception after a scene from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie (even though we had a lot of ride tributes in there too). Here's the scene I used:
The venue will play a key role for keeping it classy. I would go for a ballroom with drapery, even if that means doing a brunch instead of dinner wedding to fit within your budget. That way, you can mimic this look easier (or choose another scene you both love):

Here are some more decor ideas for a pink and purple fairytale wedding that'll play beautifully into your My Little Pony theme:
Would love to see your decor as it comes along! Happy planning. Can't wait to see what you both design together.
