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 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 black tux, which fortunately looks stunning next to a princess bride. But a white tuxedo has a bit more fairytale flavor, and it's worth considering.
Sure, 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
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
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 several 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.
Hi everyone,
Im getting married July 26, 2009. I am having a big cinderella wedding. I always dreamed of one since i was a little girl. My colors are baby blue, white, and silver. I’m tryin to figure out what i should do about my color theme, and how to work with it while decorating. Please help. I am using little plastic slippers as favors with m&m’s in blue and white. I am also using bottles of wine in silver bags decorated with something cinderella. If anyone can give me some more ideas with this … help!
jessica, white flowers, silver accents, bably blue linens. if you can’t get baby blue linens, have white llinens, blue centerpieces, and keep the silver accents.
Hi brides
I desperately need yo help. Iam getting married nxt year in July and Iam trying to incorporate a princess theme.
I found beautiful bridesmaid dresses but they are cocoa. Problem Iam having is the reception hall has gold drapes and a dark blue carpet (please see http://www.regentbanqueting.co.uk) and me and my fiancee both luv baby blue.
How can we incorporate all these colours??? My sister thinks baby blue looks gd with chocolate brown but I dont know how it would look with cocoa. PLIZ HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pictures will be greatly appreciated.
this is the dress iam using
Hi Sera!
Your hall is actually very neutral. I would get chair covers though!! The cocoa of the dresses would look great with a robin’s egg blue! You could use lighting in the hall to bring in the softer shade of blue. The gold drapes will not be a vocal point if you use cocoa table covers with the accents of the softer blues. In a darkened room and soft shimmering light on your tables the dark carpet is just a back drop!
Have Fun!!
Thanks alot Robyn. The chairs will def be covered.
Any ideas on where to get this blue lighting from? if so which one in specific? I havent been able to see any cocoa table covers or accesories is there anywhere u can point me to?
Sera
I am in the US so I’m not sure where to tell you to find lighting, but if you ask the event planner at your hall I would think they could give you the name of a lighting company in your area. I found some table cloths at http://www.wholesale-table-linens.com. Ask for fabric samples. Colours look different in real life. If you don’t have a fabric sample from the maids dresses take one to the paint store and match it to a paint chip. It is a great tool to help you find the right colours!!
sera, you can have what you want. i was studying the room and when i found the pic, i just knew it would be perfect! you bm dresses will be beautiful in this setting. notice on the boutonniere pic it has the same color as the dress, while the plates should be solid white. i was thinking carry the bouquet colors onto the centerpieces. have bm carry baby blue hydrangeas tied off with the same exact color of her dress, or with a dark blue ribbon. have the girls wearing blue rhinestone necklaces and earrings. your bouquet should be white with the baby blue ribbon(stands for something blue) i love this color scheme. it is breathtaking! i would have ringbearer carrying the dark blue pillow. the cake should be in baby blue, dark blue, and gold. green will be an automatic color cause of greenery, so i wouldnt worry about that. i will be adding a bouquet pic, not for the flowers but the ribbon. this is what i am thinking for the blue bouquet. dont worry about using so much cocoa. i would cencentrate on the blue colors. if you want to add cocoa anywhere else think about subtle places like ink colors, favor bags(organza) with ribbons, etc. hope this helps!!
Thanks Stacey
Thats so helpful. Pliz feel free to send any other ideas. I ll def use what u wrote
Hi you have a pretty wedding dress were did you get it i hope you have a good wedding from rachel

I am getting married in May 2010! I have been planning for a long time for this day. I have ideas on most things already. It is of course a Cinderella theme. My FH is making a carriage to hold the cake he has designed it. Our wedding will be held in the early evening, in the mountains up by Yosemite. A masked ball with dinner will follow.
However there are a few things that are driving me crazy, thank God I still have time. I need help with a buffet style dinner menu, and also flowers. Our colors are that of nature focusing on blues, purples, golds, and greens. But any color will work as my dress has lots of colored embroidery. I am posting a picture on the embroidery on the dress and also the space in which I will be working with. Thanks so much for your help both Dawn and Stacey give such great advice!
I am posting the Link to the site I am getting married at because there are some great pictures. There are many sites to choose from inside on the location…Please help me pick the right one!
* Paradise Springs Mountain
Thanks in advance. Hollie
hollie, you are quite welcome!! that embroidery is gorgeous!! i have a few pics for inspiration. i took inspiration from your dress embroidery and ran with it!! i saw the lavender/pinkish flowers??? and thought that shade looked the best!! add deeper purple with blue as accents with white flowers. can use lavender hydrangea in place of lavender flowers in brides bouquet. add tons of greenery to your decor. the chandelier is another inspiration…using only roses and hydrangea is what i was thinking to give a rustic romantic look, and looks the best overall. use this everywhere. keep outdoor flowers to a minimum, you wont need much the place is gorgeous and nature should shine through. if using the arbor, decorate with mostly greenery adding touches of green hydrangea and a few white roses, to keep it from competing with the scenery i wouldnt add color here. have the color with the bridal party florals.( have them carry a mix of lavender and blue hydrangeas with greenery) you can decorate everything with mostly hydrangeas and save the roses/hydrangea with your bouquet and maybe the cake base decor, guest book table. centerpieces of blue, green and purple hydrangeas with lush greenery. the pic of the bride, her bouquet is what colors i see. touches of golds could be brought in the programs (writing and borders) and in the cinderella carriages, votive holders etc. i wouldnt add gold as another main color in tables and florals. unless it will be in runners in small doses or plate rims and glass rims etc.
hollie, almost 4got. can intertwine grapevine into arch it looks amazing with hydrangea and roses!! add toparts of reception area if you wish. love your venue i love the venue!! the bella pavillion for reception and the arbor for the wedding. this place is amazing!! more pics.

Hi brides
For starters congragulations on all yo big days.
Iam getting married in July 09 and wanted to do a princess theme. I have already decided on one of the most amazing princess gowns and horse and carriage I ve seen but Iam lost on how to decorate the hall. Iam trying to incorporate blue, gold and white as I hear they re the princess colours. Pliz help!!!!!!!!
Pictures will greatly be appreciated
Hey, i’m getting married in may of 2009 and was thinking on having a cinderella wedding as well….. the only problem is that i’ve already picked out the bridesmaid dresses and they are red, so i’m not too sure if that color would fit with the cinderella theme…pls let me know ur thoughts…..
natalie, oh absolutely!! red is one of the jewel tones they would have actually used in that era. i think that lavender, red and white white would be the ideal choice! in the jimhjelm.com pic just add large head red roses.( old fashioned) put all this against simple white linens. if your budget wont allow a large amount of roses like this then have lots of greenery dotted with roses you will get that same lush effect. i am gonna give you other colors that are lush and fairytale….
* A Valentine wedding at Burhill Golf Club (check out their photo portfolio and gallery one and two orchid dream is my fave!)
* Ruby Red & Tangerine ( its gorgeous!)
* Lush Vintage
* The Knot: Wedding Style: Romantic Affairs
also 1 more last idea to consider. you could do red bm as the only ones with colored bouquets( like the red and lavender for example) keep your centerpieces red with candlelight and all other flowers red including the cake decor. put guys in black and red. this would be really beautiful. also around cake base scatter multi colored petals. take a cue from this wedding at brides.com just type in sweet soiree. its beautiful and fairytale.
natalie, there is one more i found at brides .com check out Urban Garden. it is gorgeous!! look at the colors.
natalie, opps on earlier link i put orchid dream was my fave its actually orchid drama on gallery two of same website. check it out!
I do not think it should really matter the colors you choose at least don’t let it count you out! What Cinderella wants she gets and this is the most spectacular day of your life. i wouldn’t make read the biggest color we see all day but truly you can’t go wrong with the flower and the color of love! Congrats.
Hi this is Jessica V. (from Tx) I have a big problem I ordered wedding chair sashes for the back of the chairs. Just the bows not the covers and they are turquoise blue and I wanted ice blue.

I will sell them for a great price. if you are interested please email (jacob-jessica@att.net). Thanks!!

Hello everyone!
Im getting married this December 21st and I am wanting to have a Christmas fairy-tale wedding. My colors are dark fuchsia pink and yellow gold. I am having trouble putting together flowers other than poinsettias and roses… Any ideas on flowers that you match my holiday theme? Let me know what you think!
Thanks!
Jennifer
jennifer, here are some helpful guides. the first flower that crossed my mind was tulips and tons of greenery and it does come in your color. good luck!!
* Wedding Colors: Cranberry and Chartreuse ( i know its not fuschia but i thought the chartreuse would look the absolute best against fuschia, in centerpieces and other “greenery” decor.
* EAD: Raspberry & Chartreuse
* Wedding Flowers in Season
* Planning a Winter Wedding
In honor of the season: Fantasy pumpkin craft! This how-to comes from Hallmark. Soo cute.
I am looking for blank cinderella wedding program. something with the fairy tale theme
glenda,
Try Warner Press ( they are called happily ever after) hope this is what your looking for!! smile!! if you can’t find theme then do parchment paper with old world calligraphy. or scrolls with tassels!! wish you luck
Hey everyone! I am planning a wedding for May 2009 and I wanted it to be Cinderella/Fairy Tale themed. My colors are different shades of pink, rosy and pale, and silver. I am looking for more Cinderella/Fairy Tale ideas that I could use for the reception. I think that I’m giving away miniature glass slipper candy dishes away, but I don’t know what else I could do for decorating. I would appreciate any advice that ya’ll could give me! Thanks
kristen, congratulations! my take on your wedding… i love your color scheme. i have included a pic of green style wedding, i thought how amazing it would look for your shades of pink to be set against a elegant green tablecoth add silverware, candlelight. have small crystal bowls of assorted nuts or a special meaningful candy at each tablesetting, would be different and not expensive, just thoughtful. have girls in a pink dress with bouquets and stems wrapped in green. i ‘m not talking a loud green, just a subtle rich green. elegant. you carry the bouquet i have in pic. these will also be your centerpieces. and colos of flowers that will go everywhere else. consider amaranthus for its hanging, dramatic, and elegant quality. with pink flowers on your arch, or the urns i have in pic. (which i love!!). if you dont care for aisle pic, then have single standing candleabras with hurricane globes. with flowers and ribbons puddling to the floor. rose petals scattered.
i love the idea of parchment paper cones tie with ribbon after securing if you wish. or tie knot in ribbons and have them coming out of the inside bottom. not tooo long. on paper before assembling or write in a beautiful writing … dreams do come true, or and they lived happily ever after. filled with rose petals for guest to scatter. have other sayings from cinderella here and there also(this is my main theme for you actually, the cinderella phrases and the glass slipper, ribbons, decor. gotta have the pumpkin too!!
google image wedding paper cones and ribbon wands, (which could represent the fairy godmother and in one place on wand say bibbity bobbity boo. have her dresses like a beautiful princess attire(not costume looking), so that she’ll resemble (with wand of course who was responsible for your dream come true) you may like this better for guests, and not messy for a send off. originally i was thinking flower girl could carry it. ringbearer must carry a velvet pillow. in pink!! and have your vows on a scroll that each of you pull out to read to each other. or with a poem to be read aloud. would be to great if you could find 1 or 2 people to announce your entrance with trumpets. wow!!
also tulle and white christmas lights can be your best friend!! especially in a cinderella wedding it gives an ethereal quality for sooo cheap!! but choose the one with sparkle and remember lots of greenery! consider having very small pumpkins and glass slippers intertwined into your centerpieces.

BRIDES, i forgot to post this!! it is sooo beautiful… ideas… ideas!!
HI BRIDES, I FOUND THIS AND HAD TO SHARE IT!! PLEASE TAKE A LOOK ITS ELEGANT AND CINDERELLA IN A SIMPLE WAY!! IT EVEN HAS A GLASS SLIPPER!!
I CAN’T POST THE BOARD BUT I CAN GIVE THE LINK! YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED!!
* GLITZ AND GLAMOUR BOARD
BRIDES, had to do 1 more theme i thought would work for this fantasy wedding!!! its not your usual colors but more of a cinderella wedding in autumn. like an enchanted forest . i have another post of a bigger pic of the reception area, of the one on the mood board.
for brides who didn’t care for the copper tables here is another beautiful setting outdoors. could you imagine the ringbearer carrying a burgundy velvet ring pillow with the glass slipper atop down the aisle to this copper and cream wedding? wow! and putting girls in rust as shown carrying bouquets in pic, now think of accenting this whole scheme with vines with leaves and greenery everywhere and enchanted forest arch decorated of the same with 2 wrought iron candleabras standing on either side with nothing but beeswax candles thruout the venues!! greenery with white lights or amber lights woven in. just absolutely magical, scatter pumpkins around or in a certain spot with an old world sign (that looks burnt on the edges)reading happily ever after. and have a elegant gold wedding cake with a cinderella carriage beside it and greenery.
Poll! Admit it, you’ve been tempted by the thought of wearing a pair of glass slippers down the aisle. Right?
But the only real options out there seem to be plastic, naturally enough (glass and crystal being pretty impractical choices for footwear). For some of us, this poses a big dilemma. So what will you do about your glass slipper fetish?
Some more pics from the wedding!!!!
:heart: Not all fairy tale weddings have to be silver and pink or soft blue. Just got married Oct 2,2008 with a fairytale castle theme. I used red, brown, and green! :heart:
Robyn, your attention to detail shines through in every pic here. I LOVE your color scheme, totally fresh, modern and beautiful! You are clearly one uber-creative bride, these pics could launch a whole fleet of unexpected and contemporary fairytale weddings! And I LOVE THOSE SHOES!
Where did you get that cake topper!?!! I’ve been looking everywhere for something like that!
An unbelievable bouquet + wrap captured by Jennifer Skog, found at Mrs. Shortcake / WeddingBee. WOW!
Imagine having to put this down so you can dance with your new husband … they might have to pry it out of your hands.
BRIDES, now bear with me i am gonna put a more modern twist on the cinderella story. first i see wedding scroll invites with tassels, i still see a gorgeous ceremony in champagne and pinks with or without touches of burgundy. the bride is dressed in champagne carrying a traditional bouquet of champagne and pink roses.the bm carrys champagne roses only tied with a majestic ribbon. then into the reception i see the posted pics. isnt it beautiful and different!! still add the old worlld storybook tale decor!! i think i am gonna try to find a great wedding cake!! be right back!!
okay found it!!
I
your modern fairytale pics!
Hi! My name is Christina. I am looking for a tiara. I think i am going to go with the Cinderella theme. So i was wondering if anybody can give me some websites to look for that perfect tiara. Also i really will appreciate if you can give me a website that will connect me to a real diamond tiara. If you can contacct me at Quincenera15@yahoo.com
Thanks
Hi Christina,
A real diamond tiara? That’s a no-brainer for Harry Winston, the guy (or company actually) who provided the bling we saw on Scarlett in Annie Leibowitz’ Disney/Cinderella photo shoots, or on Kate Moss posing nude save for the Vera Wang veil and Winston tiara (W magazine). These pieces are so expensive that even A-listers tend to rent or borrow them for red carpet events, but one can be yours for somewhere between 160K and 360K.
Failing that, you can get a high-end swarovski crystal tiara with freshwater pearls for somewhere around a thousand dollars. That leaves a lot more money for the catering team.
Hey, just had to share this find a bride posted about on another page … Tinkerbell garden lanterns that make great centerpieces. These are tin lanterns and a wonderful size for CPs (11″ x 8″) and even tho they’re Disney, would you believe they’re $16.95 each?? :wow: Found at LTD commodities. Cute!
Today I’m procrastinating at Etsy and came across this little dose of cuteness in the form of a fantasy flower girl gown.
Of course, I’m in love with the blue fairytale look lately so I had to post it. This sweet little creation is by FrogPrincessCouture.
