A Fantasy Fairy Tale Wedding

Royalty and romance: aren't these at the heart of every union?

It's no wonder that the fairytale wedding — also known as "Happily Ever After" or "Dreams Do Come True," to name just two — never goes out of fashion.


Spotlight on the Princess Bride

Walking down the aisle to a fantasy wedding theme means that as this type of bride, you can go all out.

That might mean a voluminous ballgown from Lazaro or Mary's Bridal Princess Collection, complete with petticoat ... or a design modeled after a particularly beloved princess from Kirstie Kelly for Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings.

But even when the gown is an A-line with a sleeker silhouette, fairytale brides usually go for a substantial veil, floor-length or longer.

The, the hair's often a half or full updo, but formally styled, dripping with romantic ringlets. And the shoes? Never an afterthought, they're something deliciously feminine, strappy and sparkly (though you can even walk down the aisle in clear 'glass' slippers).

And if you want the full-out princess look, straight from the pages of an oversized storybook? Add opera-length gloves, a tiara and a sparkly rhinestone choker.

Dressing The Royal Retinue

Bridesmaids, as often as not, are wearing something with at least at a touch of pink! A string of pearls makes a treasured gift for each of your girls.

But what about the men? American grooms find it hard to look past the usual black tux, which fortunately looks stunning next to a princess bride. But a white tuxedo has a bit more fairytale flavor, and it's well worth considering.

After all, no man one wants to look like a fashion victim fresh from prom, but Calvin Klein and Jean Yves Formalwear offer some elegant choices that just might put to rest any Prince Charming's qualms about style faux pas.

The Honour Of Your Presence Is Requested ...

Just because you're having a fairytale wedding doesn't mean your invites need to sport castles, but they should be something special. Just choose an elegant, timeless font and style (letterpress is always a gorgeous option). Or go custom: you can never go wrong with beautiful ribbon to wrap up a made-just-for-you pocketfold design, with a few quality rhinestones placed by hand.

Setting the Scene

pink fairytale ballroom decor with balloons Like other fantasy weddings, the fairytale wedding starts with draping, and lots of it: draped walls, head tables, cake tables, sweetheart tables, you name it. Luxurious linens are the name of the game.

In addition, this theme pretty much determines where you'll hold the reception: a ballroom. (Unless, that is, you're lucky enough to be able to book an actual castle, or live near one of America's castle-style buildings.)

Fortunately, a good ballroom will do some of the decorating work for you: look for regal curtains, dramatic molding and sparkly chandeliers.

A fairytale wedding is not the place for humble, easy-to-talk across centerpieces. Here, you need the drama that only height and heft provide. Go for towering eiffel vases filled with dramatic fantasy foral arrangements, leggy topiaries, or tall clear cylinders wrapped in satin ribbon and filled with floating candles.

Other ingredients in your toolbox: lots of silver (candelabras, silver cake plateaus), plenty of pinks, classical symbols (swan or double-swan ice sculptures are perfect here), and pearl or rhinestone accents as brooches or bouquet ornaments.

Also: sparkling monogrammed cake toppers, whimsical "I DO" letters for the cake table, and buckets and buckets of rose petals. Plus, every princess bride needs a really cute card box, whether it be a magic pumpkin or a sassy hot-pink hat box. A giant Storybook guest book would be a cute touch, too.

Roses for a Rose

crystal fairytale cake topper Flowers for fairytale weddings tend to the traditional side.

Occasionally you'll see exotic orchids, but mostly what fairytale brides prefer (in bouquets, especially) are classical choices like roses, peonies and stephanotis. If carrying a hand-tied bouquet, she might have crystal bouquet picks, or choose the larger cascading style.

Plenty of flowers are key for pulling off the fairytale look, but don't overlook the important of candles for setting the mood. Keep them simple, but group large masses together for maximum effect. Floating candles in clear cylinders offer more of a visual punch than regular votives.

A Fashionable Entrance

Drama's essential to a fantasy wedding, so plot out your high points. Find a way to make a grand entrance at the ceremony or reception: a spiral staircase and spotlighting, page boys, or a trumpeter. Take the time to learn a romantic waltz with your Prince Charming and throw in a few stylistic surprises, so all eyes stay glued to you through your first dance.

Outfit your guests with beautiful paper cones they can use to shower you with rose petals as you leave the church (another popular choice is sparklers). Travel from church to reception venue via horse-drawn carriage ... or even pumpkin carriage, available in a few metro areas.

A Royal Repast

Fortunately for your guests, Cinderella food means elegant 'comfort food': cream sauces, poached mushrooms and wine. Consider Oysters Rockefeller, and a roast beef carving station. For a touch of the country squire, serve crispy roast duck or Cornish game hens, and plenty of champagne.

The Sweet Strains of Love

A bit of intimate floor music will really set the mood, so see about booking a harpist or string quartet, at least during the ceremony or dinner. Later on, ask the DJ to queue up a few songs from Disney's Cinderella or Beauty and the Beast soundtrack albums. Other soundtracks with tunes worth a spin: The Princess Bride, Shrek, Anna & The King, and Ever After: A Cinderella Story.

Our wedding isn’t until August 28, 2010. Are colors are royal blue, silver and white. I would love to have a princess wedding but he really wants royal blue. Any ideas on how to pull it together. We do not have a ball room close to us at an affordable rate so we will be decorating a banquet room at our community center which is nice and new but not close to a ball room.

Our ceremony will take place outside either inside or next to a white gazebo.

Madison,

Don’t worry. There is no reason why you can’t use royal blue, silver and white in a princess wedding. After all, royal blue is a “Royal” color. The silver will be a great coordinating color that will give you the dazzle you are looking for.
Also, don’t worry so much about having an actual ballroom…how you decorate it will determine the feel in the end.

I am having a Cinderella wedding in June 2011 in our church. It’s very modern (office like), not the pretty old steeple type of church). My attire will make the scene. It is my third marriage; however it is my first wedding ceremony. I found a perfect Cinderella style white dress (no train) with tiffany (baby) blue ribbon & stones. I am only wearing one (1) glass (vinyl slipper) down the isle (where I’ll gleefully prance down alone) My Prince will meet me at the altar and sit me down on the step to place the other slipper on my foot. (Kiss me & ask me to marry him) He will be wearing a white tux with silver accents. Our best men & brides maids will wear black & silver with a touch of tiffany or royal blue. My twin teenaged boys are wearing black Dockers, black dress shirts and silver vests while blowing silver trumpets to announce our arrival to the reception as we roll in to the reception hall (banquet room) on a horse drawn carriage. See it’s not where you have it or the colors that make it a princess wedding; it is how you decorate and play it out. I hope this helps. Wishing you a Beautiful Fairy Tale Princess Wedding!

Julie

Hello! I am having a fairy tale wedding in July of 2010. My so far are red, white, and silver. I am thinking of decorating my reception in mostly white and silver with hints of red. I’m at a loss for bouquets, table set ups, and how to decorate my cake. I have carriages with flameless candles as centerpieces, but that is it so far. It is going to be an outside wedding in a garden type setting. Thanks!

krysta,
i love the idea of decorating the reception in white and silver. i would go with simple white table linens, silverware, silver runners(optional) etc. can i see your centerpieces? i might be able to find a way for you to incorporate red roses in them. i made you a board, just to show you some ideas. these centerpieces are tall but i couldnt find the idea i wanted so i ran with it. i didnt know what color the bm dresses would be so i used grey.

Yes, my fiancee is a huge Ohio State Buckeye fan, so I let him pick the colors… and that was his pick. I wanted the Cinderella theme, so I tried to figure out a way to incorporate them together. I thought silver and white would make it more “dreamy”. The bridesmaid dresses we picked out are just simple black empire waist dresses, with a removable red sash… very classy. I wanted something that wasn’t so dressy they would never be able to wear again, and also something that they could wear to our reception, which I have another simpler dress for, and not be more dressed up than me. For the bouquets I picked a single white rose “wand” wrapped in red satin and pearls so far, I just thought it would keep things simple. I’ve attached my carriage centerpiece. It’s not finished yet, but it will give you an idea of what it will look like. There is a flameless candle in the center to add some extra light outdoors. I plan on having lots of twinkle lights and the flameless candles since we will be in a garden area with not much light.

krysta, from what i could tell the carriage is fairly nice size. you said it wasnt finished yet? do you have more embellishment? you could always have red roses peeking out from under the carriage or a lush handful of red rose petals to sit on. i would take small roses and greenery around the candle and having it flowing out like here…

hey i am getting married next year in september and i am too having a fairytale themed. i live in vegas and me and my fiance are planning on having our wedding at his work where we met (blush the nightclub in the wynn) we picked this location because its romantic how we met and also we will pay little to nothing for this venue since its his work. but we dont want to spend a fortune on flowers and candles and favors and decorations and was wondering if anyone knows where i can buy cheap flowers and candles especially. we want to have lots of large and medium size candles for our wedding. and also im having a hard time picking out what colors would be best for my theme. this is the dress that i want and i want to choose colors that compliments this dress. any advice will be helpful. thanks:)

Yes I would love to add fall elements such as elegant leaves and pumpkins! But I just don’t know how or what to use. I am afraid of either over doing the cinderella/fall theme or under doing it and one one will know what my theme even was.

angie,
what did you think about the site i gave you? would that go inthe direction you were thinking? what would you say to a enchanted forest theme, its very fairytale and fits perfect with cinderella. i am thinking candelabra centerpieces like in a castle, have a cinderella castle cake, around the room have urns full of fall leave branches like in pic above, dont use the oranges and reds, instead use mauves, golden yellow, the muted fall leaf colors. candles everywhere. on each place setting, take mini pumpkins and sugar them just as you would any other fruit. or buy fake shimmery pumpkins, now that fall is coming, i am starting to see them everywhere. have the fake leaf garlands trailing up the base of candelabra. with the pumpkins and a few scattered leaves on table. now, for place cards have them pumpkin or cinderella slipper shaped. this template should be easy to find online and very diy!! be sure to use old world font for a more “castle” writing. make a diy “hear ye hear ye” scroll and stand it up by a towering cake. have a saying thanking your guests for attending.
Hear Ye Hear Ye
We, Mr.and Mrs. couple,
hereby thank you for the honor
of your presence at our wedding.
the more simple you keep the words and larger print a traffic jam wont happen. it will flow smoothly.

thank goodness i found this again!! do you see the rose petals on the floor against the white and green palette? this is what i mean by using those muted fall colors( th emore roses and golds tone, with subtle shades of sages etc.
i think you just might like this look, you could axe the table runner. but this is the fallish colored look i had in mind!! its sooooo romantic and VERY royal looking!! i love the way they used all green in the stands. it really made all else look super elegant. i do hope you go in this direction. a few shimmery pumpkins would look righ tat home with this!! simple rosy desert colors.
* BEAUTIFUL pic
( make sure you look at the closeup shots)

*more of the gorgeous

this way you could pull in the fall colors EXCEPT with the roses and you could add a few leaves but wouldnt have too. the roses would give the vibe you want. add a few leaves to the bouquets instead. i got my fingers crossed that you might love this look. you could have the green centerpieces on your table (low or tall) it would look like it did back then, people picking what was available. then add scattered rose petals in these colors up and down the tables. add votives. they wouldnt confuse your scheme then!! big smile!! especially with the leaves only the bouquets then youwouldnt be worrying about it being too much. scour flea markets and second hand shops for silver vases. let me know what you think!!

Are you located overseas? If not, Hobby Lobby sells the eiffel vases and feathers-and they have sales very often and the 40% off coupon. Otherwise, check you local florists. Ours has the vases to rent. Other option, check Maybe someone in your area would have some for sale or to rent. I had found some locally that way as well. Good luck! Hope that helps.

Hey there, came across your site. I was reading through it trying to get some ideas. I am pretty lost as to what to do for anything with a wedding. I did although ‘kind’ of pick out my colors. I was wondering if you could give me some tips from there? If you have the time of course ^^. I am hoping to have a ‘cheap’ fairy tale wedding with the colors pretty basic: Black, White and a hint of pink. Not really a Hot pink but a bold enough pink that it does clash out. If you could give me any hints as to what to start with that really would be great help and I sure would appreciate it! My wedding isn’t until March, 2011. But I’d rather get started sooner rather then later lol I am really bad at being a last minute person.

stephanie,
keep all your flowers in one color in one type to simplify it even more. pink roses would be my choice or a fluffy pink flower like peonies( they are soooo gorgeous) they are usually a expensive flower but in your local area or try fiftyflowers.com they have entire collections for one price. it only takes one of these beauties in simple glass bowls surrounded with votives to make a presentation or have long stem peony in a tall slender vase. one key is using the pink flowers to add a more lush look to the black and white scheme. candles are seriously inexpensive and since your getting married in 2011, you can actually spread out everything. having the bridal party in black ( guys and girls) is a superb idea!! they can wear it again, it is great on all body types, it is just practical. another idea is to hang lush peonies or roses from clear fishing line or ribbon and suspend over tables( if your venue has low ceilings or is outdoors) the effect is really magical. it could take the place of floral centerpieces too, just have candles on the tables sprinkled with rose petals. you can also choose to have a pearl like theme too. have tall cylinder vases with pearls at bottom of vase and floating candle or flower. overall one of my fave choices is the cylinder vases filled with colored water (using food dye) or floralytes( google search and google image for a look)

the pages are a little slow loading but well worth it, this is a very pretty wedding. in your colors. i hope this gives you a bunch of ideas cause it is perfect!! it has that simple elegance fairytale look, to me… in a nutshell….it just looks like a true love; a fairytale kind of love. it doesnt have all those xtra details, its refreshing. i love it and the black and white striped ribbon.
*real wedding pics

want a little more glam? simply add pearl stems to your florals. thats it!! even more fairytale? have white invites with a cinderella carriage and horses printed in black at top. then carry this onto your programs etc. or use elegant monograms and calligraphy font, you dont need xtra details to make it look fairytale, just upgrade the look( not necessarily the price) the things you will already need for your wedding, example other than the ink and font. your cake, order a simple white confection nothing pricey and add fresh pink flowers in masses( large head roses will work and you wont need as many as you think, keep carnations out of contact with food, not a good combo) take a simple white pearlized ribbon and wrap around each cake tier, top with pink roses and greenery. add pearl stems( local craft store or saveoncrafts.com be sure to check out this site you will find abundance of inexpensive stuff) just look for inexpensive items that have that million dollar look. your cake knife, buy a simple plain cake knife and add an upgraded ribbon and have it more flowing. some add real roses this is an option too. just secure them on the handle with floral wire. no flowers? go to a craft store and buy a simple rhinestone monogram with a loop to thread ribbon through, add it in a out of the way place on the knife and let it hang down like a charm, it will sparkle and look chic. it just takes thinking out of the box a little and diy ideas.
i was at walmart wedding section the other day, they really have some pretty stuff, and martha stewart has partnered with them. check out marthastewartweddings.com for ideas too. she is one of my faves. her and her team is amazing!!

Hi Stacey!

I’m planning on having a FAIR-y-tale wedding(hence the last name Fair), in early Sept. 2010. I’m thinking plum and mint/light green with a little bit of silver for a sparkle effect. What do you think? We haven’t finalized our venue but we’re looking at this ballroom for the reception that I think is perfect. I’m just stuck on the centerpieces. I don’t know if I want a round bowl on a mirror with floating flowers inside surrounded by votive candles or go with the tall cylinder vases with flowers?

Hi Phylicia,
i found something so beautiful and simple. could you imagine a plum colored rose in a vase with floating candle, though the white is sooo dreamy( pic i posted)

and check out the floating petals and candles, would be so elegant and save bucks too! i love the “illusion” of lush flowers with petals.

hope you like the ideas! when you get your venue let me know!! i will be able to steer you in a better direction:thumbsup:

that is a beautiful venue. i think yellow and tangerine would be amazing in this venue. however, my main concern is the bm dresses. these 2 colors are difficult to pull off on most skintones. i wouldnt put it this color scheme with black cause it will come off to fall or octoberish. putting the girls in grey would work but it still poses skintone problems. i like champagne and i have worked with it with yellow before, though they are very similar unless the yellow is a little deeper. if it were me, i would have yellow and orange in the brides bouquet then have the rest of the wedding decor in monochromatic orange, one shade slightly deeper than the other. i didnt know what you wanted your bm to wear? or if they already had their dresses. i am gonna work on a board and send it toshow what i am thinking.

here is the board i made. i couldnt find the bouquet i posted separate, though it is the main bouquet for inspiration. i thought a champagne and white or gold and white base would be perfect and elegant. lots of candlelight. notice the centerpieces are candlelight. i thought it would be great with these candle globes and votives, with scattered petals.
candlelight is best for a winter wedding, itmagnifies the romance and warmth. i thought black with champagne or gold worked best for tuxes. i truly hope you like it. or at least will be able to see if this is what you envisioned. let me know if the colors work for you, if they aren’t what expected we can go in another direction. if you keep it simple to plan, with a nuetral base then bring in pops of color in florals, you will speed up planning time. i just LOVE the bouquet pic. i couldnt find who made it but these are really the colors( orange and yellow) beautiful.

brandi,
have you got your venue? that would be top priority. can you give me some more details of what you want? alot of theme things or just dreamy? withthe venue pics i could tell alot about how todecorate etc. then i could make you a mood board.
i think it would be great to base it off the Ever After movie. you could go all theme with costumes but you could also have simple tuxes. in the meantime check these boards out…

S. Turner,
i would love to help out!! First I have a couple questions…..
1) what size and formality is the wedding? does she want simple elegance and low key or a grand affair? shorter dress, suit, or gown? do you want theme or just a few touches of elegance?
2) is there a venue, if so, do you have pics or a link i could check it out to find colors and decor to suit?

I have a mood board i made it emphasizes on a more traditional wedding and it is meant to show grace and elegance without to many details. the colors are black, white, and light blue. i didnt know if this is something you had in mind or not? :mrgreen:
i think it is absolutely wonderful what you are doing!! look forward to hearing from you!!

angelina,
hi!!
take a look at these….
*cinderella coach

i searched but found it difficult to find a carriage that didnt fit the promish description. however, if you like the pumpkin idea, then check this out! it is soooo pretty!! with votives just perfect!!
*nofussfabulous ( pic is from this site it is just perfect! i am loving the glitter pumpkins)
*anothercoachstyle
*cinderella carriage

i hope i have found something you could use. another option is to set up 3 different heights of floating candles in cylinders on a glass square. then in the front space of the grouping place a smaller white carriage. like here, except with the carriage….

shanita,
i google imaged plum wedding and saw this….
* real wedding

i thought you might like it. you could do the tulle in simple white or silvery grey. another color you could do is plum and chamapgne. which i think i would do the champagne linens with the plum flowers. have girls in plum with light to dark plum bouquets, you could carry champagne and creamy white roses with chamapgne beaded ribbon. guys in black with champagne vests and ties. for reception have some tables with flowers and votives and others with tall glass cylinders with floating rose petals and candles. surrounded by votives and optional rose petals. another idea, is lighting. you could have champagne linens with plumish lighting around the room. theknot.com if you signup and go to wedding photos, you can see different color galleries. also go here:
*real wedding ( check out everything, you will be so glad you did!!) loads of ideas and pics.

Help me please,

I am getting married on Sept 19th (in the next couple weeks) I have almost everything covered. Having challenges with the centerpieces. My colors are espresso, latte and topaz (accented with orange) my wedding theme is ‘My Fairytale come true - I’ve Fallen for you!! I have bought vases for the tables already and was originally going with cascading floral arrangements on top of them but have since changed my mind because it doesn’t seem to fit My Fairytale come true - the reception starts at 12:30 so thats makes it even more difficult - please help me!!!

iivette,
i just sent a bride tothis website and i think you might wanna look…
*wedding decor

for flowers i would have candelabras sprinkle with rose petals or vases of calla lilies and roses. to cut down on cost get more roses and have a few calla’s dotting the arrangement. or keep it super simple with flowing greenery with draping rhinestone garlands, votives in glass votive holders with rhinestones( diy with rhinestones and glue) and a calla lily at each place setting.
