A new report from money.co.uk found that Harry Potter was the most saved wedding trend on Pinterest.
A Harry Potter themed wedding could range from subtle nods to series, such as a red and gold Gryffindor color scheme or a cake with a golden snitch tip to a lavish, all-encompassing Christmas ball recreation.
In fact, at 1016, Harry Potter was the number one wedding trend based on the number of boards created based on a specific wedding theme.
For those a little less Hogwarts inclined, the next two most popular weddings were “Vintage” and “Earthy”.
While vintage can mean almost anything (early 2000s Paris Hilton or 1970s ABBA ceremony?), Research shows that pins stored on these boards often included classic Princess Austin wedding cars, lace and pearl wedding dresses, and white floral arrangements, Green and peach and traditional white icing wedding cakes.
Weddings in the 1920s took place on the 6th and the Great Gatsby wedding on the 15th, certainly with lots of green lights.
