Nerdy/artsy Wedding Theme Ideas?

Hi there! I am struggling with coming up with ideas for our theme. Our ceremony is going to be at an estate house on an art museum property and our reception is at an art gallery, so you'd think we could just do something artsy/crafty and call it a day, right? Funny thing is, though we both...

Hi there! I am struggling with coming up with ideas for our theme. Our ceremony is going to be at an estate house on an art museum property and our reception is at an art gallery, so you'd think we could just do something artsy/crafty and call it a day, right? Funny thing is, though we both appreciate art, neither of us are very "artsy." Smiley laugh We are in fact, very nerdy and geeky and love sci-fi and fantasy. We like the idea of incorporating some talent from our close friends (one does stained glass, one does jewelry, etc.) but we ALSO want to incorporate our nerdiness (video games, board games, fandoms, etc.)

I thought about having "Fantasy" as the theme, allowing us to incorporate all sorts of things. I just don't want that to be interpreted inappropriately. Some of our favorite fandoms are Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, Final Fantasy, Firefly/Serenity, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Walking Dead, Harry Potter, Settlers of Catan, Gloomhaven, 7 Wonders, things like that. How could we come up with a theme that allows us to not only include some arsty/crafty bits (like the stained glass) but also Legend of Zelda, Star Wars, etc.?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Smiley heart

    I have no doubt that sounded beautiful, the music from the Legend of Zelda series is just the best. We were already planning to have a string quartet at the ceremony so perhaps we'll see if they can play a few other songs to fill in the gaps. I love this idea! Thank you!

    That does help! I think you're right, perhaps instead of starting from the theme and working down, we should start with what and how we want to incorporate our fandoms and go from there. Thank you!

    I told FH about this thread and he came up with "Quest" in place of adventure, but I'm not sure how to round that out for a theme.

    Thinking about Lord of the Rings, what about "A Legendary Journey"?

    We are adding touches here and there, little things that mean something to us but since we don't both like all the same things some of the touches will be subtle like me carrying River Song's journal down the aisle instead of flowers and a corsage made from old comic books, she chose our recession song which is Mr. Blue Sky because baby Groot dances to it in Guardians 2. The touches can be that simple. If you are having a seated dinner with assigned tables, the easiest thing to do would be to theme each table. So parents are at Winterfell, co-workers at Hogwarts, cousins at Tatooine, that kind of thing. You could also incorporate your fandoms with wedding favors, just keep in mind not everyone will get the super nerdy stuff. If you're both into Harry Potter, have a HoneyDuke's themed candy bar. Have fun with it!
