Fairytale Themed Wedding Tips

Article provided by The Wedding Planner School

Every bride wants to feel like a fairytale princess on her wedding day. If you want to bring some magic and sparkle to your big day too, The Wedding Planner School, trainers of top wedding planners worldwide, offers some great ideas for all budgets…


  1. Stationery Fit for a Princess – Model invitations in the form of Cinderella’s shoe, which needs to be returned to its owner as soon as possible or as a story book, where guests can read all about the fairytale wedding. Name your tables after fairytales with Cinderella (top table), Sleeping Beauty etc and why not have carriages holding your place cards or table centres.
  2. Colour Scheme – Silver and pink are the colours of a fairytale princess. Incorporate them into all aspects of the big day from pink champagne to silver candles; decorate the venue with swathes of pink and silver fabric – tulle and net are on trend for bridal gowns and bridesmaids dresses in 2010.
  3. A Magic Castle – Castles are a big feature but if they are out of budget introduce some regal decorations instead such as swan ice sculptures, sparkling chandeliers and if Posh and Becks can have thrones so can you!
  4. Glass Slippers – Maintain that soft fairytale look by contrasting the feminine pinks with your dashing groom in grey tails or a chic white suit. Don’t forget the all important shoes, which are available as clear ‘glass’ slippers.
  5. Romantic Ringlets – Soft up or half up hairstyles with romantic ringlets held in place by your very own tiara!
  6. Storybook – Have the story and pictures of your lives and your fairytale romance displayed in a storybook for all your guests to read.
  7. Horse and Carriage – The perfect arrival for a princess in your own horse drawn carriage (provided they don’t turn into mice)! You could even have some doves (or dove balloons) to release after the ceremony.
  8. Flowers – Roses with their thorns removed so that ‘Prince Phillip’ can reach his ‘Sleeping Beauty’!
  9. Fairy Cakes – A wedding cake made up of lots of little fairy cakes would bring the fairytale and modern tastes together. Alternatively opt for a beautiful castle-shaped cake or a plain tower with an icing shoe on top!
  10. Fairy Godmother – No fairytale would be complete without a fairy godmother overseeing events and ensuring that everything is magical for your special day. In other words …. a wedding planner. The Wedding Planner School offers a free wedding planner service or to learn the tricks of the trade, why not book on one of their courses for yourself!
