I knew that most of you are guys and may not be able to help with this. But I want to have something magic themed at my wedding, it's not going to happen for a couple of years but it still doesn't hurt to plan ahead. Anyway, we both love magic and want to integrate it into our wedding somehow without it being cheesy or over the top. Any ideas would be super helpful.
Mtg Tablecloths ;)
Selesnya theme I think would look good. Just look at the art for some of those cards. Have the wedding party dressed like that, decorated like that. Would be nice. And Ravnica guild center pieces. Bouquet of black lotus'

I like the {Black Lotus} idea haha.
Why not table favors? A booster per person & Invite me ;)
Or you could use the symbols for guest placement. A red mountain symbol for one table, a green forest for the next. . .
And what about your favorite decks for the color scheme. White blue green would be beautiful!
I'm totally going to plan my wedding right now too. Though ill make it so only people who play will see all the magic around. To other people it would just be so pretty!
...ok guys, I'm sorry. I've given up my man points for the month...
You know what would be cool if you fiancé got you a ring with all the mox gems on it and a diamond in the middle
Black lotus bouquet

It's ok. Everyone knows there are no girls on the Internet.
You should tell us if you're thinking a full-on Magic theme or just accents to a real theme and if so, what the main one is.
Black lotus bouquets are surely a nice, subtle decor that still lets you have a relatively traditional/guest-friendly wedding. Pretty clever idea.
And as a baker I can say that there's a LOT you can do with cakes. Even if you want a traditional wedding cake for the reception, the rehearsal dinner the night before is wide open to custom, wild cakes and decorations. Hell, you could even make a cake a giant {lotus petal}. If you're anywhere near Maryland, you could call up the real pros at Charm City Cakes in Baltimore and they will make you the piece of a lifetime. I love those guys. I miss their show.
Congrats btw ;)
SHUT THE FFFFFRONT DOOR!!!!
No but congrats and that is super cool. I think making flower bouquets out of "flower themed" magic cards would be pretty cool. Just please don't go cut up {black loti} to do it. You could tell him you want a {black lotus} instead of a ring lol....they cost the same 😁
You should have a sign at the entrance saying "Please wait here, you have summoning sickness"

Wish I had thought of this for my wedding its an amazing idea but you'd have to really like green and white lol my wife would have died over it those are her favorite colors
Thanks guys! I was thinking subtle hints and themes that only true mtg fans would recognize, not outright magic things lol. 85% of the guests have no knowledge of magic. I love the idea of using colors I like as my wedding colors. Red, black, white seems really nice and matches me favorite and most brutal edh deck (kaalia). I love the lotus flower bouquet idea too! Keep em coming, this is great!!!
You could have mana symbols hidden in different subtle places. Or maybe the "Planeswalker" symbol. The trident looking thingy.
Or joke refferences in the invitation like; (and this is a bad one) "We're really hoping for some nice weatherlight."
Honestly I don't see much else workin besides color schemes I looked into it for my wedding... The reception party I the other hand I got to go off on magic with lol wife even let me set up two tables in the back so me and all my buddies could play some drunken commander towards the end of the night lol.. But then again more the 80% of my guests knew about magic or played it lol
The guy who runs the lgs I goes to makes anything out of magic cards. He made a transforming bumble bee out of mtg cards. The G1 version.

Lol I've seen mtg card dresses but that's going a little far for a wedding dress Id see that at a Grand Prix or something
Playmat placemats lol
Along the lines of making things out of cards you can put "flowers" made from cards such as mana so it looks nice like they will look like really nice paper flowers like made from green mana a nice green flower and most people wouldn't really notice unless they look hard or know magic... Another thing is if you go this way and have the little piece of cloth in the pocket of the tux make it a card also such as mana... These are just little twists to the original wedding I also really like the idea with having a sign saying wait you have summoning sickness XD that made me lol so hard XD
Green mana-like bonsais for table decoration, planes walker symbol somewhere, cups with blue-mana symbols imprinted, a speech with magic-related things like "time walking" with your partner, or loving him "across every plane". I am sure you can come up with a nice speech hiding magic references there. Then annotate it and later check with the magic players guests which references they perceived on the whole wedding :)
You might be inspired by Mark Rosewater's wedding pictures. He had a games themed wedding too. I don't have any links, but I'm sure you could find something with your googley eyes. 👀
Congrats! 👰💍
(Go for Moxes too!)
