Having Your Fairy Tale Wedding

How many little girls play dress up and pretend to be a bride? Eventually, some of these little girls carry their dreams of being a fairy princess on her wedding day. She pictures herself in a Cinderella wedding dress and her Prince Charming waiting for her at the altar to give her that magic kiss that will ensure that she lives happily ever after. The church is decorated with wedding favors that would leave you breathless. There are flowers and candle light, perfect little angels walking ahead of the bride carrying their special flower baskets, strewing the petals just so. The bride walks in on her father's arm to the strains of "Here Comes the Bride" and the mother cries tears of love and happiness.

As the ceremony proceeds, the photographer captures each tender moment in a way that will tell this love story for years. The maid of honor's smile is as radiant as her bridesmaid jewelry that was given to her just before the ceremony. The groom takes the bride's hand and promises to love her forever. The bride smiles through her tears and holds his hand, gently touching the cuff links that she chose for his wedding gift, touched that he actually remembered to put them on. They seal their vows with a kiss and walk down the aisle laughing and waving at friends.

The newlyweds make their way to the reception, where the ordinary room has been transformed into a fairyland with Sand Castles and a wedding cake shaped like a carriage. The toasting flutes are tulip shaped and are filled and ready for the first toast to the bride and groom. The guests are awed at the spectacular wedding favors that grace each table. The band begins to play and the groom leads his bride onto the floor. Aware of only each other, the couple sway gently to the music, as if they were truly at the ball.

It's possible that this sounds just too much like a fairy tale. But when you find your Prince Charming and you have dreamed of this day every since you were a little girl, all you need is a little magic and a theme in mind. Choose your wedding favors to fit your theme. Also choose people to surround you and support you in this endeavor. Make sure that your wedding planner is a romantic at heart. Choose a photographer that has a passion for storytelling. Make sure that your florist understands your desires. Pick a venue that can support this type of wonderland. Set things in motion and follow your heart. Then put on that Cinderella dress, walk down that aisle, and realize that dreams do come true.

Planning on Wearing a Fairy Wedding Dress?

Enchant your guests with a wedding dress inspired by fairies. There are two very clear takes on this whimsical themed dress. The first is to have a ball gown with a full tulle skirt and a fitted bodice encrusted in sparkles that will reflect the light and make you a glimmering vision floating down the aisle. You might even consider having a romantic layer of tulle in a soft pink, yellow, or green.

Having a few layers of colored tulle overlaid with the traditional light will create a soft hint of color that will have your guests mesmerized. Look no further than that famed pixie, Tinkerbelle for a little inspiration. The second inspired wedding gown is a long, flowing ethereal gown of a fairy maiden. The direction you take your theme is up to you.

Having some young girls, if you have small nieces or cousins, invite them all to be flower girls and dress them in tulle creations of soft pastels and glittery fairy wings. These little fairies will the lead the way for you, and put a smile on everyone's face. If you are bold, you may don a pair of wings yourself! If not for the actual ceremony, you might have a pair for a professional picture or the reception.

Have silver or gold ribbon or flowers woven into loose natural waves or braids. If you want to wear a traditional veil, choose something long in a flowing material, like chiffon. It will trail behind you and pick up some of your movement creating the illusion that you are floating through the air.

Inviting guests to an outdoor ceremony in a wooded area with invitations on natural paper or paper with pressed flowers in it. This will set the tone of you wedding right away. Your guests will arrive and see a fairy goddess emerge from the trees.

A Fairy Tale Wedding With Unique Wedding Favors

Alas the day has finally come. You have gone your entire life wondering what this precise moment would feel like. Your special someone drops to one knee and asks you to be their one and only for all time. You nod your head and fight back tears of joy while wrapping your arms ever so tightly around your soul mate. Time seems to come to an abrupt stop, and you are so overjoyed that you feel as thought you will burst with happiness. Imagine the reaction from your friends and family when you share your joyous news with them. This is just the first step in the direction of your new life; your happily ever after. The only thing left for you to do now is to plan your beautiful event out right down to the finest detail.

Now every bride-to-be wants their wedding to be unique. You wouldn't want to have the same decor or dresses as your friends had at their wedding or your siblings at theirs. You also wouldn't want the same wedding favors either. Just as every bride dreams of looking like a princess on her big day, she also dreams about having a wedding that is so memorable that people will talk about it for all of their days. This is where the wedding favors come in to play. Imagine having unique wedding favors for all of your guests to enjoy and to keep as memorabilia. Everything is to match perfectly, the colors as well as the themes.

You picture yourself walking down the isle in a beautiful gown with your family and friends standing in approval. You feel as though you are the only woman in the world that matters in this moment. Time eludes you and you feel as though your heart is going to flutter right out of your chest. As your vows are to be read, you begin to look deep into your soul mates eyes and yearn to hear them utter those sacred two words which means the world to you. Those words being simply, "I do".Every thing right down to the tears which will be shed at your holy union is guaranteed to be perfect.

It is quite easy to imagine isn't it? That is because one day it will become a reality and not just a fairy tale. The only limits when it comes to your special day happen to be those in which you set yourself. As hard as it can be sometimes to believe, some fairy tales are true. The only thing which is required to turn a dream into reality is both determination and planning. So long as you keep your mind set on your goal then you will one day accomplish it. Many women whom plan their own weddings sometimes feel overwhelmed at all of the planning which goes into it. This is why many seek out wedding planners to help in their expenditures and planning processes.

Nevertheless, regardless of who plans your wedding, be sure to make it unique and all your own. Do not be afraid to say "Hey I want unique wedding favors", or to even pick out your own specific wedding favors, flowers, and even decor. Always be certain to live up to that world famous saying "Carpe Dieum", and when it comes to your wedding day remember to seize your day.

Sprinkle Some Magic With Fairy Tale Wedding Favors

Booking a castle to hold your wedding may be a trifle cumbersome but sand castle tea lights will do just fine as fairy tale wedding favors. Your guests will be touched by the romance of the evening with these favors even if your dinner venue is a hotel.

Choosing a theme for the wedding party is a creative trend. Fairy tale love needs fairy tale wedding themes. All balls have guests arriving in their carriages. Why not gift 'enchanted carriage' boxes for guests to take home too. You can fill these boxes with almonds, chocolates or other goodies. Adding some intricate scroll work won't cost you much either.

Speaking of carriages, undoubtedly the Cinderella theme is the most popular. Match the theme with special Cinderella carriage design curio showpieces. Intricately crafted of durable white resin embellished with brilliant rhinestones, carved flowers and silver painted accents, these carriages do not vanish when the clock strikes twelve!

There is a whole range of these from silver tea pots, silver chair boxes to heart-shaped glass coasters and silver photo frames.

It needn't all be about princes and princesses though. Get more peppy with a blushing gingerbread bride or groom and possibly more realistic with these gingerbread candle favors.
