Make way for the light sabers!

One of the best props for a Star Wars-themed wedding is a Light Saber. Especially if you have a creative photographer on hand to capture this magical moment. It's important to make sure your photographer is still around when it gets dark! You can also use them to line your aisle after you've gotten married or to create a dramatic exit shot at the end of the evening. So, the big question now is, how to get a lightsaber?

  1. SaberForge

Saberforge is one of the best companies where you can get custom-made sabers in easy steps. The first step is to choose your emitter. The emitter secures your saber blade and houses the LED module. The second step is to choose your Switch to turn on and off your saber. The third step is to select the body which holds your saber and other internal electronics power for the LED. The fourth step is to choose your Pommel to prevent your saber from sliding out. The fifth step is to choose your Electronics which will serve as the brain of your custom-made saber. Finally, place your order! You can choose whether to DIY or have them assemble your saber for you. Price varies from $100 to $2,000.

  1. Neosabers

Neosabers is known for premium Neopixel blades and lightsabers collection that offers you diverse effects that you can fully customize from hilt color, to light colors in the blade. Price varies from $100 to $1000.

How To Get Stormtrooper Masks/Armor

Perhaps the most known character that everyone, not even a true fan, is familiar with is none other than the 501st Legion. That being said, it makes it best to invite them to your Star Weddings, so even your friends who aren't true fans can feel the fun in your wedding! There are two ways for the 501st Legion to attend your wedding. One is to hire actors to pop in your wedding or have some of your friends and family wear a costume. If you plan the latter, here are some stores where you can get them:

  1. Stormtrooper Store
