I looked at a lot of wedding options before I decided I wanted to have a themed wedding and reception. So, now all that was left was to do was decide what theme sounded like the one I’d like to have. It sounded like a lot of fun to have a country western themed wedding. I thought maybe we could have an old fashioned barn dance at the reception. Then there was the seasonal wedding themes, and since we were getting married in the summer, I thought about a beach wedding. We could have a great time, swimming, partying on shore and watching a gorgeous sunset in the background. It was a never ending list of possibilities for themed weddings and receptions. You could find anything you needed online for a themed wedding from wedding décor to a beautiful wedding server. 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. Of course the very first thing to do is get the invitations for our friends and family. Then I started choosing all of our decorations and other wedding accessories. I wanted a wedding fit for Cinderella. 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.
As our guests entered the church they signed their names in our fairytale themed guestbook, which was absolutely gorgeous. I couldn’t have dreamed a more perfect fairytale ceremony than the one I had. Our little ring boy and flower girl were adorable and did such a super job at the ceremony. As anyone knows, when Cinderella and Prince Charming married they didn’t leave the castle in a limo, they rode in a carriage, and that’s what we did.
The reception hall was really beautiful with all the lovely flowers everywhere and the lovely tables all set up with crystal and silver. Every table in the reception hall had gorgeous crystal champagne flutes with decorated stems to go with our storybook theme. Little castle place card holders were placed at every guests table. I also got the idea to purchase little carriage favor boxes and fill them with candies for each guest at their tables.
All the reception tables looked elegant, but the wedding table of the bride and groom outshined them all. It had all the elegance of a king and queen. At the end of our wedding table, was the wedding cake table, with our beautiful five tier cake and gorgeous storybook topper. I found the most exquisite storybook wedding cake topper for our reception at the same place I bought all our other reception supplies. Even the fairytale wedding knife they had was special with it’s lovely styled handle. I really liked the wedding knife and server, so now I wanted to make everything else perfect! Our wedding cake and topper were complimented by the lovely knife set next to it.
We danced our wedding dance right after the best man said a few words and toasted to our happiness. We chose our favorite song, “I Swear” by all for one, as our first bride and groom dance. Once we were done with our wedding dance, the other couples joined us on the dance floor. I’m glad I bought the gorgeous fairytale photo album to store my wedding pictures in, because I’m going to have quite a few of them to treasure. Many of our friends and family commented on what lovely storybook favors we had given them as gifts.
Don’t ever let someone tell you that fairytales can’t come true, it did for us.
