A Whimsical Yet Slightly Funky Mamma Mia! Inspired Wedding

Kristie Eaton Aug 7, 2024

Known for its catchy music, vibrant characters and feel-good storyline, Mamma Mia! has captivated audiences worldwide. This musical masterpiece will have you fantasizing of tying the knot amidst the sun-soaked charm of a Greek island, with the vibrant sounds of ABBA filling the air and a backdrop straight out of a Mediterranean dream.

And while this may sound slightly out of your wedding budget, this team of Central Pennsylvania wedding vendors have managed to curate the most magical Mamma Mia! inspired styled shoot that will encourage you to turn that dream into a reality without leaving the United States. I am so excited to share it with you.

Emerald Stone Photography and a team of vendors transformed the Hilton Harrisburg to produce a series of styled shoots inspired by timeless hit musicals and the Pantone Color of the Year 2024 – Peach Fuzz. This is just the beginning of our Broadway Musical Styled Shoot Series! Up next, we’re bringing the romance of West Side Story and the rustic charm of Oklahoma! to life with more incredible Central PA vendors.

A menu card on a wooden bar features "Tonight's Signature Drink: Ouzo Spritz" with ingredients listed. A glass of the spritz and an orange are nearby.

Small details like name cards and signature drink signs can add a personal touch. Persnickety Invitation Studio (@persnicketyinc) understood the assignment with the wedding invitation, embracing the peach hues and ocean blues.

Soft peach tones of seashells & aqua of the Aegean Sea were the basis for this whimsical, slightly funky & romantic reception design. The tablescape gives a romantic, coastal feel with a mix of neutrals and subtle pops of peach.

The cake by Sweet Confections Cakes (@sweetconfectionscakes) can only be described as a masterpiece. The true essence of the Greek Islands were captured including the cobble stone streets, the vibrant florals, the blue-domed roofs and breath-taking sunsets.
