A themed wedding ceremony and reception sounded like the best among several wedding ideas I checked out. 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. Then there was the seasonal wedding themes, and since we were getting married in the summer, I thought about a beach wedding. We could swim, party on the beach and enjoy a lovely sunset. 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 knife. With all the themed wedding suggestions they had, I decided to go with the gorgeous fairytale wedding.
Now it was time to look for the fairytale themed accessories and supplies I needed for the theme I chose. The first thing I bought was the wedding invitations for our guests. Next, it was time to choose the wedding decorations and accessories I wanted for our ceremony and reception. I wanted to have a Cinderella atmosphere to the whole thing. 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. 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.
We had a beautiful wedding guestbook in the front hall of the church which our friends and family all signed when they came in. I couldn’t have dreamed a more perfect fairytale ceremony than the one I had. Our little ring boy and flower girl were adorable and did such a super job at the ceremony. After the ceremony we didn’t leave in a limo, we left the church in a horse drawn carriage the same way Cinderella and Prince Charming did in the fairytale.
With flowers everywhere and crystal and silver shining on the tables the entire reception hall was so elegant. 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. 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. I saw a gorgeous wedding knife in a storybook theme with a very decorative handle. The wedding 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.
We danced our wedding dance right after the best man said a few words and toasted to our happiness. Our favorite song is by all for one and is “ I Swear” and that’s the one we danced to. Once we were done with our wedding dance, the other couples joined us on the dance floor. There were so many photographs taken at the wedding and reception, I’m so glad I bought my fairytale wedding album for all these memories. Many of our friends and family commented on what lovely storybook favors we had given them as gifts.
Our wedding and reception was truly unbelievable and I know now that fairytales can come true.
