Cinderella Theme Wedding
The Cinderella story is one of the most beloved fairy tales in
the world. This is why so many brides choose a Cinderella
theme for their wedding. You will find no shortage of ideas
and items to make your big day a success. The story of
Cinderella is the story of a woman set free by true love, and
is the perfect backdrop for your romantic ceremony and
reception. The first order of business when planning your
wedding is of course, the guest list and invitations.
Invitations
Invitations should be sent out a few months in advance to
ensure your potential guests have time to RSVP. At most every
stationery and/or wedding invitation store, you will find
invitations featuring the fairy tale or Cinderella theme. Your
invitations might feature an image of a fairy tale castle or
magic wand such as the one carried by Cinderella's fairy
godmother. Good colors for this wedding theme are innocent and
romantic shades like cream and pale pink accented with a touch
of silver or gold for a magical look.
Attire
Every bride wants to look like a princess. When choosing your
bridal gown, go for a traditional white or off white dress
with an intricately beaded, fitted bodice and full skirt. The
ballerina style, with its full tulle skirt, is a romantic
look. For your footwear, go for clear slippers which resemble
the legendary shoe in the story. Accessories can include a
princess tiara and a regal yet classic strand of pearls. For
your hairstyle, choose an upswept 'do like the one Cinderella
wore in the movie. Your bridesmaids and maid of honor will
look lovely in simple dresses in light, floaty fabrics and a
romantic color like soft blush.
Decorations
Because the Cinderella theme is so popular, you'll have no
trouble finding great decorations, centerpieces and favors
from wedding supply stores. For example, a crystal sculpture
of Cinderella's pumpkin coach looks great as a table
centerpiece. Or, try ice sculptures of Cinderella's glass
slipper to adorn tables. Balloons and streamers in your chosen
wedding colors are an easy, traditional yet festive touch.
Small orange and/or white pumpkins artfully arranged in
crystal bowls also look fabulous on your tables.
Wedding Cake
You can choose any type of wedding cake you want. Just make
sure it is frosted in pale, feminine colors and choose a
romantic cake topper such as a fairy tale castle. Chocolate
truffles decorated to look like mice make a perfect appetizer
for guests. Great beverages include sparkling pink champagne
and cider. When choosing a caterer, ask how they can
incorporate your theme into the wedding menu.
Favors
Wedding supply companies offer cute Cinderella theme party
favors to give guests. You can buy clear slippers filled with
candies to present your guests, or small tins shaped like
pumpkins that can also be filled with candies. Traditional
favors include wrapped bundles of birdseed, small bottles of
bubbles, and disposable cameras. No matter what favors you
choose, your guests are sure to have a fantastic time at your
unforgettable Cinderella theme wedding!
