2 Ways to Arrange Your Beautiful Fairy Tale Wedding

By Aaron Hu

Every little girl dreams of them. Fueled by Disney movies and childhood stories, they dream of the day when they are not the flower girl anymore and instead the bride with all eyes upon her. Well, why not try to have that dream of being Cinderella with prince in the towers of Neuschwanstein. It's your time to marry so take that magic and have that romantic day. Go ahead and give your guests Cinderella wedding favors or take a more fantasy style look with fairy tale wedding favors.

At first thought you might think that fairy tale weddings and Cinderella weddings are the same thing but that is not quite the case. All Cinderella weddings are fairy tale weddings but not all fairy tale wedding are Cinderella weddings. For example Princess Dianna's and Prince Charles' wedding was both. Fairy tale weddings can be a bit more Bohemian if you would like. Either way, they are both magical.

Cinderella weddings are almost royal and a bit more formal than most weddings. Think back over the story of Cinderella, a young lady once thought of as plain now blossoms into a beautiful princess. That should be kept in mind when deciding how to decorate; it should seem like a royal affair. Now there are, of course, the glass slippers. You can get those but they are now acyclic and they are a must for a Cinderella bride. If you can find away to pull off leaving the reception in a horse drawn carriage go for it, though you will have a little problem finding trained mice to serve as coachmen, it's a great touch. Even if you can't, you can still add a lot of Cinderella to your reception. A Neuschwanstein ice sculpture would be nice but that would cost about as much as a car, but all ice sculptures add a royal hint and are beautiful in their own right. Then use lots of silver (or at least silver looking stuff), also very royal. By now, I think you are starting to see what make a true Cinderella wedding.

Now your fairy tale weddings are a horse of a different color (so to speak). Sure, Cinderella is a fairy tale and that makes it a fairy tale wedding but it can be so much more, you are only limited by your vision of what it should be. For instance, a wedding held in a garden, bride in her plain white wedding dress, bare footed, her head ringed in vines and small flowers saying her vows while watched by glass butterflies and glass pixies hovering in the flowers is a fairy tale wedding too but not a Cinderella wedding. See the difference; it is YOUR idea about what a fairy tale wedding should be. Granted, fairy tale weddings are not for everyone, but for those couples that want one it is a way of adding a little bit of magic and fantasy to a ceremony that is sometimes banal. You can add as little or as much of that fairy tale magic as you would like. Sometimes, just little bits sprinkled into a traditional wedding are enough to add smiles and make it memorable for your guests.

It doesn't matter which one you choose. Pick the one that will make you happy. Either way, you will no problem finding a lot of suitable favors. - 30544
