After looking at many wedding suggestions, to have a themed ceremony and reception party. So, now all that was left was to do was decide what theme sounded like the one I’d like to have. The country western theme seemed like it would be lots of fun. I thought maybe we could have an old fashioned barn dance at the reception. A beach wedding sounded nice for our summer wedding. We could party and swim until the sun sets on the beautiful blue water. There were so many themed ceremonies and reception parties to choose from. You could find anything you needed online for a themed wedding from wedding décor to a glorious wedding cake server. All the themed suggestions were quite unique, but it was the fairytale theme that I liked the best.
Since, I had made up my mind to use the storybook theme, it was time to find my accessories and reception supplies. 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.
I also had a remarkable fairytale wedding guestbook for everyone to sign when they entered the church. 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. We took a carriage ride to the reception, just like Cinderella and her Prince left their ceremony.
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. 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.
Despite the beauty of our reception tables, I think the bride and groom table was definitely the center of attention. It was a table fit for a king and his queen. Our cake of five gorgeous tiers, with a fairytale wedding topper, sat at the end of our wedding table on a smaller table. They have everything where I bought our reception supplies, even the perfect wedding cake topper in a storybook theme for our gorgeous cake. Even the fairytale wedding knife they had was glorious with it’s lovely styled handle. The wedding cake knife set 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. We chose our favorite song, “I Swear” by all for one, as our first bride and groom dance. Other couples came up to dance as soon as the next song began. 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. Just before we left for our honeymoon, some of the guests thanked us for the lovely fairytale wedding favors we gave them.
With the ceremony and reception party turning out as great as it did, I know you can have your favorite fairytale come true.
