A themed wedding ceremony and reception sounded like the best among several wedding ideas I checked out. So, now all that was left was to do was decide what theme sounded like the one I’d like to have. 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. We were having our wedding during the hot summer months, so a beach themed wedding sounded pretty great. 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. And they had every accessory online from decorations to a wedding cake server to match every theme. Even though I found a lot of themed wedding ideas I liked, I chose the fantastic looking fairytale theme.
Since, I had made up my mind to use the storybook theme, it was time to find my accessories and reception supplies. First I ordered the lovely wedding invitations for our wedding guests. Next, it was time to choose the wedding decorations and accessories I wanted for our ceremony and reception. I wanted everything to look as Cinderella like as possible. I started with the decorations for the church ceremony. We used satin bows on the end of each pew row and draped a tulle swag from row to row. 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. 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. 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.
All the reception tables looked elegant, but the wedding table of the bride and groom outshined them all. It gave the appearance of royalty to the reception. At the end of our wedding table, was the wedding cake table, with our beautiful five tier cake and gorgeous storybook topper. 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 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.
As soon as the bridal toast and the best man’s speech was over, my husband and I had our first dance as husband and wife. 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. 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.
