I decided, after looking at many wedding suggestions, to have a themed ceremony and reception party. 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 even considered having a barn dance for our reception party. A beach wedding sounded nice for our summer wedding. We could party and swim until the sun sets on the beautiful blue water. It was a never ending list of possibilities for themed weddings and receptions. There were all kinds of accessories and supplies for themed weddings, from decorations to a gorgeous wedding cake server. With all the themed wedding suggestions they had, I decided to go with the gorgeous fairytale wedding.
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. After that I went on to the wedding décor and the other accessories I would need. I wanted everything to look as Cinderella like as possible. 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.
We had a beautiful wedding guestbook in the front hall of the church which our friends and family all signed when they came in. Our fairytale wedding ceremony was everything I had hoped for and more. The flower girl was so cute, and the ring boy looked very handsome as they perfectly performed their duties 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. All the tables had crystal champagne flutes with storybook designed stems. Little castle place card holders were placed at every guests table. Another suggestion was to fill favor boxes with candies for the guests, and I chose little carriage style boxes for everyone.
Even though all of our reception tables were gorgeous, our wedding table was the most breathtaking. It had all the elegance of a king and queen. 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. I wanted the complete wedding cake knife set instead of just a plain knife because I wanted it to be special. 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. Our favorite song is by all for one and is “ I Swear” and that’s the one we danced to. 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. Our guests let us know how much they appreciated the storybook wedding favors we had for each of them.
With the ceremony and reception party turning out as great as it did, I know you can have your favorite fairytale come true.
