Fairy Tale Enchantment For Your Wedding

Every little girl dreams of being a part of a fairy tale. A wedding is the time that a woman could become the princess she has envisioned of being since she was a little girl. What better way to celebrate this dream than to have a fairy tale theme wedding?

An enchanted fairy tale theme wedding begins by transforming the hall or the reception site into a castle. There is no decent fairy tale of happily ever after love that doesn’t feature a castle. To inspire the castle decorations for the wedding, think of the under-the-sea castle of The Little Mermaid, and the one that the held the twelve dancing princesses.

The outside walls of the reception area should be adorned with columns supporting a row of arches. On top of the arches or the columns, build colorful cone shaped finials similar to the ones found in fairy tale castles.

Upon entering the castle, guests should be greeted with enchanted scenes from favorite fairy tales. The ceilings should be decorated with hanging silk white fabric. All the chairs should be covered with white chair coverings with pink bows tied at the back.

Use Glass Slippers as place card holders for the wedding reception tables. Each table should have a theme from different fairy tales. Decorate one with a coach that pulled Cinderella to the royal ball. Another one should feature a frog awaiting the magical kiss from the princess. There should be red roses similar to the magical rose that bloomed until the beast found true love and broke the spell.

Another table could feature a tulip like the one that Thumbelina lived inside. A Spindle like the one that pricked the princess and put her to sleep is another idea for a fairy tale theme wedding centerpiece for a table. A royal red runner with rose petals and sparkly fairy dust should lead to the table where the newly weds are to be seated.

One other fairy tale theme wedding decoration could be a big magical mirror by the door so all the guest could ask ‘Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who in this land is fairest of all?’.

Hang 3-D images of fairy godmothers similar to the ones that helped raise Aurora before she was The Sleeping Beauty. In a corner, place a cut out picture of a bigger fairy godmother, with a magical wand in hand, like the one that changed Cinderella’s life.

Carry on the fairy godmother theme by providing magic wands for all your guests. 3-D, life like pictures of dancing fairy tale couples should decorate the hall in between the tables and around the dance floor.

Music could be a great tool to decorate the fairy tale theme wedding atmosphere. Songs like Once Upon a Dream, from Sleeping Beauty, A Whole New World, from Aladdin, A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes, from Cinderella, and other tracks will transport everybody at the wedding to different scenes from fairy tales.
