A fantasy castle wedding with costumes, magic, and a real Gothic Tudor castle #Real Weddings: Western US#castle#costumes#goth#washington March 5 2018 | Catherine Clark bijouxandbits Photos by: Tom Ellis Photography Photos by Tom Ellis Photography Tori and Andrew fantasy castle wedding took place at Thornewood Castle, a 27,000 square foot manor of the Gothic Tudor style that is the only one of its kind on the west coast. Atmosphere for days, y'all. But to pile on the awesome, it was also a costume wedding with a theme based on the Dresden Files books (full of adventure and magic which fit the costume theme perfectly!). Tori dressed as a faerie princess while Andrew was a a White Court vampire. Real swords, daggers, and weaponry adorned them and some of the guests. The ceremony could be held in the formal garden at Thornewood, a beautiful sunken garden surrounded by brick walls, and more than a half-acre in size. The ceremony was conducted by a wizard, and the wedding party was all in costume. One of my favorite parts was that the reception featured a roving magician who entertained everyone with a variety of tricks and sleight of hand. Are you ready for this magic meets fantasy castle wedding?
