by Sadie Trombetta

Every bride-to-be imagines their wedding day to be one the most special days of their lives, and now, nearly-wedded witches and wizards can make sure will be more magical than ever with these beautiful Harry Potter inspired wedding shoe stickers. Whether you're having a full-blown Harry Potter themed wedding or just want to add a little romantic bookish detail to your walk down the aisle, these "Always" decals are the perfect touch.

There is no end to the number of Harry Potter related items you can find online. From Hogwarts House-themed candles and blankets to Marauder's Map-inspired sweatshirts and wall tapestries, websites like Etsy are like the Room of Requirements for all things Harry Potter. Quotable throw pillows? There are plenty to choose from. Polyjuice Potion bath salts? Of course they exist! Time-Turner accessories? Take your pick.

Anything a Potterhead could ever dream of can be found on Etsy, and that is especially true when it comes to magical wedding accessories and decor. If you do a quick search of the handcrafted Potter swag available on the online marketplace, you'll find everything from wedding wands and themed signature drink signs to bookish bridal party flowers and punny prints. Whether you want your groomsmen to represent their Hogwarts houses or have your bridesmaids decked out in Deathly Hallows details, Etsy has exactly what you need to do it. They sellers on the site are even up-to-date with the most recent wedding trends, including customized wedding shoe stickers.

Personalised Harry Potter Disney Wedding Shoe Vinyl Sticker Decal, $5, SimplyUniqueUK on Etsy

Etsy shop SimplyUniqueUK provides soon-to-be-wedded witches and wizards with one such thing, a small but beautiful accent for their special day: Harry Potter-inspired wedding shoe vinyl decals. Featuring the series' most romantic, not to mention most frequently referenced, quotes about love — Dumbledore's heartbreaking question, "After all this time?" and Snape's earth-shattering answer, "Always." — these small stickers help Potterheads honor their soulmates on the soles of their shoes with a simple but powerful statement.

The quotes — one for each shoe — are printed in a Harry Potter-inspired font with lightning bolt accents, so they have the same appearance as both the book and movie titles. Like any good piece of Harry Potter-inspired memorabilia, these decals also feature the iconic Deathly Hallows symbol, so you can walk down the aisle with the most powerful magical objects by your side (or, more accurately, at your feet.)

But that is not all: because SimplyUniquelyUK isn't a Legilimens and can't read your mind, the crafty creator lets its clients customize their decals to match their special day. You and your wedding don't have to have the powers of a Metamorphagus, because these must-have decals come in a variety of colors, including black, pink, blue, silver, red, and gold. For an additional cost, the design can also feature a personalized name and wedding date, so you can immortalize the special memory on the soles of your shoes forever. No matter what theme you have planned for your wedding, there is a set of Potter-themed decals to match.

There are a lot of ways to incorporate Harry Potter into your wedding, but I have to admit, these "Awlays" decals are among the coolest I have ever seen. As if a bride's walk down the aisle isn't emotional enough, including Snape's heartbreaking quote about his undying love for Lily Potter will guarantee there isn't a dry eye in the house. He may not have gotten his happily ever after, but these beautiful decals can help you take the right steps towards creating your very own, no Felix Felicis required.
