I looked at a lot of wedding options before I decided I wanted to have a themed wedding and reception. Now the decision was which theme to use. I took a look at the country western theme, and it seemed like it would be a lot of fun. I even considered having a barn dance for our reception party. We were having our wedding during the hot summer months, so a beach themed wedding sounded pretty great. We could have a great time, swimming, partying on shore and watching a gorgeous sunset in the background. There were so many themed ceremonies and reception parties to choose from. And they had every accessory online from decorations to a wedding server to match every theme. All the themed suggestions were quite unique, but it was the fairytale theme that I liked the best.
Now it was time to look for the fairytale themed accessories and supplies I needed for the theme I chose. First I ordered the lovely wedding invitations for our wedding guests. Next, it was time to choose the wedding decorations and accessories I wanted for our ceremony and reception. I wanted everything to look as Cinderella like as possible. First I needed to get the decorations I wanted to use in the church. We used satin bows on the end of each pew row and draped a tulle swag from row to row. There were flowers in tall vases placed around the altar and taper candles in fairy tale themed candle holders on each side of our beautiful unity candle.
I also had a unique fairytale wedding guestbook for everyone to sign when they entered the church. This was the most beautiful storybook wedding ceremony I could have ever wished for. Our little ring boy and flower girl were adorable and did such a super job at the ceremony. After the ceremony we didn’t leave in a limo, we left the church in a horse drawn carriage the same way Cinderella and Prince Charming did in the fairytale.
With flowers everywhere and crystal and silver shining on the tables the entire reception hall was so elegant. Crystal champagne flutes with stems decorated with a fairytale design was placed on all the tables. I found these very exquisite castles to use as place card holders on the reception tables. Another suggestion was to fill favor boxes with candies for the guests, and I chose little carriage style boxes for everyone.
All the reception tables looked elegant, but the wedding table of the bride and groom outshined them all. It gave the appearance of royalty to the reception. Our cake of five gorgeous tiers, with a fairytale wedding topper, sat at the end of our wedding table on a smaller table. While shopping for our other reception supplies I found the perfect fairytale cake topper there too. There was even a storybook wedding knife with lovely designs on the handle. The wedding cake server and knife was so lovely, I wanted to buy more things that matched! The set made a nice addition to the wedding cake and topper decoration.
After we were toasted with our lovely crystal champagne flutes, it was time for the bride and groom to have their first dance together as man and wife. Our favorite song is by all for one and is “ I Swear” and that’s the one we danced to. Other couples came up to dance as soon as the next song began. There were so many photographs taken at the wedding and reception, I’m so glad I bought my fairytale wedding album for all these memories. Our guests let us know how much they appreciated the storybook wedding favors we had for each of them.
With the ceremony and reception party turning out as great as it did, I know you can have your favorite fairytale come true.
