A Few Good Cinderella Wedding Ideas

If you’re interested in a few Cinderella wedding ideas for your day in the sun, we’ve got plenty. There are so many details of a wedding to fill up with fairy tale magic that your guests will have it spilling out of their suitcases when they return home. With a little luck, you and your sweetie will keep enough of that magic to last you for your entire marriage.

It starts with the wedding invitations! Set the mood by letting everyone know that they are invited to a fabulous Cinderella wedding and should dress accordingly. Sending little scrolls from a specialty paper store, using a fancy script or calligraphy to address them, and sealing them a real wax seal will add to the effect.

Another Cinderella wedding idea: Use the titles ‘Lady’ and ‘Lord’ or ‘Sir’ when you address them. If you can’t find a good scroll invitation, use stationary and heavy weight paper encrusted with glitter and stamped with magic wands or little castles. Do the same for your thank you notes.

Your wedding dress should have an extravagantly long train which can be removed after the ceremony. A corseted bodice that is strapless or utilizes slim spaghetti straps and simple jewelry like diamond stud earrings or a simple strand of pears will accent your Cinderella wedding idea perfectly.

Pile your hair high on your head or, if it’s short, smooth it back, but either way, a tiara is definitely in order. If you consider elbow length gloves, wait until the reception. You will need your fingers available to handle his wedding ring and to wear your own.

If there’s any way at all to make it happen, a castle, mansion or ballroom is a perfect place for the ceremony and/ or reception. Intricate gardens will work too, as well as any house with a sweeping staircase.

Don’t forget the red carpet for the aisle, though all your other decorations should come in a nice rose pink, periwinkle, lavender, daffodil yellow, and ivory or white. Rose petals scattered about the premises are a nice touch, but all your other flowers should be along the lines of lilies, lavender, baby’s breath, and the like.

At the reception, it’s more of the same but more glamorous and glossy. Ice sculptured castles, grand wishing wells for your guest to throw some money for the bridal purse (and make a wish for themselves), perhaps even horses at an outdoor setting.

Crowns for the kids and tiny Cinderella stories depicting the fairy tale of yours and your sweetie’s love can serve as place cards as well as take home gifts for your guests.

Your music is one of the most important Cinderella wedding ideas as it can convey suspense and romance all at the same time. Choose a live quintet for vivid waltzes or have a DJ bring classical records only. A piano soloist, a harpist, or any of the string instruments will provide fabulous back up music to your fairy tale Cinderella wedding.

Your wedding cake is a great opportunity to maximize on the Cinderella wedding idea theme. Have a baker create a cake castle for you, complete with turrets and drawbridge. Or go for a square cake layered at opposing angles and decorated with ribbons and elaborate frosting roses.

No matter what you choose, any of the above Cinderella wedding ideas will create the fairy tale wedding of your dreams.
