I looked at a lot of wedding options before I decided I wanted to have a themed wedding and reception. All I had to do now, was decide which theme I wanted to go with. 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. And they had every accessory online from decorations to a wedding cake knife to match every theme. With all the themed wedding suggestions they had, I decided to go with the gorgeous fairytale wedding.
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. After that I went on to the wedding décor and the other accessories I would need. I wanted a wedding fit for Cinderella. First I needed to get the decorations I wanted to use in the church. Tulle swags were draped from each row of pews with a bow of satin pinned on each end. Tall vases filled with flowers were all around the altar, and tapered candles in fairytale holders were place on the sides of the unity candle.
As our guests entered the church they signed their names in our fairytale themed guestbook, which was absolutely gorgeous. Our fairytale wedding ceremony was everything I had hoped for and more. 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. All the tables had crystal champagne flutes with storybook designed stems. I found these very exquisite castles to use as place card holders on the reception tables. I filled adorable carriage designed favor boxes with little candies for each place setting at the reception.
Despite the beauty of our reception tables, I think the bride and groom table was definitely the center of attention. 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. 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. The wedding knife server was so lovely, I wanted to buy more things that matched! 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 danced to our favorite song, “I Swear” by all for one. Once we were done with our wedding dance, the other couples joined us on the dance floor. With all the photos that were taken, my storybook wedding album will be filled with memories in no time. Many of our friends and family commented on what lovely storybook favors we had given them as gifts.
Our wedding and reception was truly unbelievable and I know now that fairytales can come true.
