I looked at a lot of wedding options before I decided I wanted to have a themed wedding and reception. All I had to do now, was decide which theme I wanted to go with. I took a look at the country western theme, and it seemed like it would be a lot of fun. I thought maybe we could have an old fashioned barn dance at the reception. 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. It was a never ending list of possibilities for themed weddings and receptions. And they had every accessory online from decorations to a wedding cake server to match every theme. All the themed suggestions were quite unique, but it was the fairytale theme that I liked the best.
Once I estabished that I was going with the storybook idea, I started looking for accessories and 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 a wedding fit for Cinderella. 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. 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. This was the most beautiful storybook wedding ceremony I could have ever wished for. The flower girl was so cute, and the ring boy looked very handsome as they perfectly performed their duties at the ceremony. As anyone knows, when Cinderella and Prince Charming married they didn’t leave the castle in a limo, they rode in a carriage, and that’s what we did.
All the tables at the reception were sparkling with crystal and silver and the entire reception hall was lavishly decorated with flowers. Every table in the reception hall had gorgeous crystal champagne flutes with decorated stems to go with our storybook theme. Little castle place card holders were placed at every guests table. I filled adorable carriage designed favor boxes with little candies for each place setting at the reception.
All the reception tables looked elegant, but the wedding table of the bride and groom outshined them all. It was a table fit for a king and his queen. 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. I saw a gorgeous wedding knife in a storybook theme with a very decorative handle. I wanted the complete wedding cake knife set instead of just a plain knife because I wanted it to be special. The knife set just added to the décor of our wedding cake and topper.
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. Other couples came up to dance as soon as the next song began. With all the photos that were taken, my storybook wedding album will be filled with memories in no time. 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.
