Did I mention that the Jim Henson Co. lot was built by Charlie Chaplin to serve as his production studio? I love this pic of the dress hanging up on a HUGE picture of Charlie in action.
I could write a whole post about JUST their centerpieces — each of them was a different movie/nerdy/pop-culture reference with corresponding photo of the two of them in character.
And of course they had custom bride and groom Muppets…
…Who are clearly as in love as they are.
Oh and what is that awesome fascinator on Suzanne's head you ask? BOOM…
POW!
And what Muppet wedding is complete without a Hoth wedding cake with the biggest AT-AT cake topper I've ever seen!?
And speaking of eating times…
They brought in the BEST that California has to offer — In & Out. Best wedding meal EVAR.
To see more photos with even MORE mind-splody awesome details AND a video of their muppets singing the Beatles, head over to my photography blog.

That is AWESOME. It's not easy being (enviously) green! LOL!
Kate said
I LOVE THIS! I swear my husband sometimes IS a Muppet.
Where did you guys get the custom ones?
Suzanne said
Hey! FAO Schwartz in NYC has a muppet whatnot workshop, where we got the muppets made, and then customized them with our wedding clothes (and a moustache, for Luke). They're actually pretty reasonably priced, considering the quality, but the only catch is that you can't order them online. You may be able to get them to mail you a packet and order over phone, I was lucky that my sis lives there and could order them in person!

OMG, love the Muppets! Too rad.
Jen said

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh YEA.

Anyone know how the centerpieces were made?
Suzanne said
Hey Vicky,
Technically, Luke should be replying to this, as he was the one to slavishly put all of these together, but I can give you the basics.
We knew we wanted each centerpiece to have some commonalities in terms of design (cheap white lazy susans via amazon, Crate and Barrel lucite photo frames…which were a little pricy but we smartly repurposed as gifts for family members who helped out with the wedding). We knew early on that we were going to theme each of the tables around one of our favorite media properties, and we already had pictures of us in many of the costumes, and many of the toys/props you see in Megan's fab pics came from our personal collection. So, it was just a matter of making costumes/taking pictures for some tables (e.g. you can see me having issues keeping my cardboard Wario 'stache on, that was thrown together quickly), and tracking down some toys online over a 6 month period.
Once we had everything, Luke designed an icon/logo for each table (also used for the favors/place cards), and put together the centerpieces. There were some balance issues, and some of the toys were damaged a bit from having to be attached to the centerpiece with epoxy, but otherwise it was all pretty easy. It definitely helps if you already have many of the raw materials available! Hope that helps!
