As huge fans of J.K. Rowling's work, it's no surprise that Zoe and Alex Pitas decided to throw a Harry Potter wedding for their special day. The couple set up their wedding at The Wroxeter Hotel near Shrewsbury, in order to bring the magical wizarding world to life.
At the reception, six of the tables were named after the four Hogwarts houses, plus two more tables named after Deatheaters and The Order of the Phoenix. These tables were decorated with owls, tiny bottles that looked like potions, floating candles and little cauldrons. To capture the awesome themed wedding, the couple also staged some epic photos that were later edited to look like a real magical fight had gone on.
