The Absolute Perfect Fairy Tale Themed Wedding

Do you dream of a wedding day to rival the old fairy tales you used to hear as a child? You remember—Cinderella being swept away by her prince? Snow White being rescued by her handsome prince by a single kiss? If you dream of being a princess for a day, then why not have a fairy tale wedding theme?

Start by looking for a romantic locale. Look for an old mansion, a hall that has a balcony overlooking a beautiful garden, or even an outdoor location that is surrounded by fragrant flowers. Decorate it with soft pastels, plenty of tulle, silk ribbons and organza. You should have a few tresses intertwined with soft flowers and silk ribbons, even if you are holding your wedding party indoors.

Announce your fairy tale wedding party theme by placing the invitations on white parchment paper, rolling it up like a scroll, and then sealing it with old fashioned wax. For the local invitations, have them hand-delivered by someone in a tux who bows when he hands them to the recipient.

You can get creative with your fairy tale themed wedding table centerpieces by using carriages, glass castles, or silver vases filled with soft rose petals, or buds. Sprinkle confetti across the tables, either in sparkly silver or soft pastels. Drape each chair in soft organza and silk ribbons.

Considering fare for your fairy tale themed wedding, you should ask your caterer to prepare fantasy foods. Rich creamy sauces, prettily prepared veggies and unique breads. Have a huge ice sculpture in the middle of the table shaped like a castle. Your fairy tale themed wedding cake should be white and covered in soft pink rose buds and a crystallized sugary coating.

Your fairy tale themed wedding dress should make you look like a princess. Wear a huge ball gown adorned with sparkly glitter. Sweep your hair up, and intertwine it with pearls or soft pale ribbons. If you want to wear something a little more subtle, consider a Juliet type dress with ribbons criss-crossing front and back, and ballerina shoes. Your bridesmaids should be dressed in flowing pastel colored fabric dresses. Your groom should be a classic prince in a formal tuxedo.

Finally, no fairy tale wedding theme would be complete with a spectacular exit in a horse drawn carriage. Decorate the carriage and horses with the same soft pastel flowers and silk ribbons that you used in your wedding decorations. And whatever you do, don’t let a well-meaning guest tie tin cans to your carriage!
