Planning Your Princess Theme Wedding

Many little girls grow up dreaming of the day they get to plan their own princess theme wedding. It starts with the stories of Cinderella and continues through a girl’s teenage years. Luckily, it is easy to plan a wedding incorporating the basic ideas of how a princess would marry her prince charming.

Location is important in choosing a princess theme wedding. If you are lucky enough to live near a castle that can be rented out for these occasions you can easily move to the decorating phase of your wedding. Those brides that don’t live near a castle can use decorations to bring the atmosphere of a castle to your reception.

The bride can start out getting married at an old stone church if she wants photographs at a castle-like location. Otherwise, she will have to rely on decorators and designers to achieve the right mood. Find a location with a grand ballroom with chandeliers that can be decorated to the hilt.

When decorating the reception tables for your princess theme wedding, think of your guests as royalty. Use large opulent bouquets and use large pillar candles. Crystal looks especially beautiful for these occasions and there are many styles to choose from.

Beautiful linen tablecloths and napkins, especially lace ones, are appropriate for a princess theme wedding. They can be rented easily from many wedding vendors or party rental businesses. The chairs can also be draped with special-made chair covers or you may make your own of tulle fabric and silk flowers.

The bride will have the most fun choosing her wedding gown. There are so many to choose from for your princess theme wedding. It may be easiest to start browsing the current wedding magazines to help you pick out a few of your favorites before proceeding to the stores to begin trying them on. This is the most exhaustive element of planning your wedding so be sure to take your time and choose carefully.

Don’t feel that you have to pick your dress the first time you go to the store. If you simply cannot find the dress of your dreams, consider hiring someone to make your dress. This way you can choose your fabric and trims as well as picking out your pattern. There are quite a few patterns to choose from when choosing a dress for your princess theme wedding, including medieval princess gowns.

One of the final elements of the princess theme wedding that the bride will choose is the type of favors she will give to her guests and wedding party. Choices include simple boxes wrapped with velvet ribbon, small porcelain boxes in various shapes, drawstring bags made of satin or a fabric that shimmers, a set of tapered candles or anything else that strikes your fancy in keeping with the princess theme wedding.

The last thing you should plan is a horse drawn carriage to whisk you away from your princess theme wedding. It can be as elaborate as the one drawn for Cinderella or an open carriage for you and your prince charming. This will make for some fabulous photographs of your special day.
