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!
