Planned and designed by Fandom Affairs and captured by Jade Elora Photography, this Wonder Woman-inspired elopement took place at Knapp’s Castle in the Santa Ynez Mountains just outside Santa Barbara. From Fandom Affairs: “The landmarked ruins of the mansion made the perfect setting for a Themyscira-inspired world. The gorgeous Grecian-inspired gown provided by Adina’s Bridal was accented perfectly with a gold headpiece and wrist cuffs echoing Wonder Woman’s signature uniform. We loved the movement in this gown, which was only enhanced by the breathtaking venue. The groom’s navy suit and burgundy-accented apparel was inspired by Wonder Woman’s color scheme.”

Page Berse of Absolutely Fabulous Glamour took inspiration from the 2017 movie for her long Amazonian braid. She also chose a lipstick in one of Wonder Woman’s signature colors: red.
We loved the “feast of the gods” picnic style reception setup! The rich garland, provided by The Flower Shop, served as the centerpiece and was filled with greenery, florals, and various fruits! The place settings were made to mimic Wonder Woman’s shield and armor while the glassware accented her colors.
Completing the look was a delightful one tier cake by Sugar Studio. The gold leaf border on the cake tied in the gold leaves in the florals while the the top border showcased Wonder Woman’s headpiece from the latest film. We see this headpiece echoed again in the bride’s wedding ring. The delicate rose gold V-shaped setting with a ruby solitaire, made by Princess Jewelers, felt like it was designed with Diana Prince in mind.
Wonder Woman’s signature red, blue, and gold also make an appearance in the invitations. A gold border on the RSVP card adds a subtle nod to her original uniform from the comics. The whole set is finished with a stamp from USPS’s recent commemorative set celebrating the 75th anniversary of Wonder Woman.
