When we were children, Roald Dahl opened our eyes to the magic of the world around us.
And now, as adults, we look back fondly on his wildly imaginative stories, allowing them to open our hearts, too.
So it makes sense that so many couples want to lend a dash of all that Roald Dahl whimsy to their big day.
The tale of Fantastic Mr Fox is particularly perfect for wedding inspiration, not least of all because of Wes Anderson’s whimsical reimagining for the silver screen.
From whimsical woodland details, to gorgeously sophisticated autumnal colour palettes, Fantastic Mr Fox is perfect for creative brides and grooms looking for a unique, albeit super sweet, wedding.
