Doctor Who Styled Wedding Inspiration

Although this isn’t one of the shows I’m familiar with, the BBC television series Doctor WhoĀ is a sci-fi phenomenon. It’s the longest-running science fiction series on television, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year! The series follows the adventures of the Doctor, a time-traveling alien, and his human companions as they journey across the universe.Ā Pretty geeky stuff. But if there ever was a cool time to be a geek, itā€™s now.

Photographer Candice BenjaminĀ and cinematographer Kiera Faye of Jakfoto Films, two self-identified geeks (their words!), wanted to take geek chic to a new level with this ā€œWhovianā€ wedding. From Candice + Kiera:

We believe that your wedding should reflect your personality and your passions [just like us here at GWS!]. Being a geek is all about what you are passionate and excited about – what sets your imagination flying. It doesnā€™t have to be corny or too on-the-nose. We wanted to show that you can take inspiration from any source, and work it into a wedding style that can be appreciated by fans and non-fans alike.

We included a lot of touches that only the fans will get. The eleven tables are a reference to the eleven ā€œregenerationsā€ of the Doctor, and the table numbers are portraits of each Doctor, as done by artist Meghan Stratman. The scarf worn as a stole by our officiant is a replica of the Fourth Doctorā€™s signature costume piece. The keys – displayed on the brideā€™s bouquet and with each escort card – represent the key that the Doctor presents to his most trusted companions, a key that opens his spaceship/time machine, the TARDIS (famously disguised as a blue British police box).

To us, Doctor Who is all about seeking adventure, finding friendship, and fighting for the people you love. Itā€™s about how love can reach across time and space, how it can connect and even save us. What a beautiful sentiment for a wedding!

Love all that! Even though I’ve never seen an episode, still so much pretty to love and be inspired by!
