I decided, after looking at many wedding suggestions, to have a themed ceremony and reception party. Now the decision was which theme to use. I took a look at the country western theme, and it seemed like it would be a lot of fun. I pictured a reception party barn dance for our wedding day. Then there was the seasonal wedding themes, and since we were getting married in the summer, I thought about a beach wedding. 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. There were all kinds of accessories and supplies for themed weddings, from decorations to a gorgeous wedding server set. 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. The first thing I bought was the wedding invitations for our guests. After that I went on to the wedding décor and the other accessories I would need. I wanted to have a Cinderella atmosphere to the whole thing. The decorations for the church were the first thing I wanted to get. I chose some lovely tulle swags to be draped from pew to pew with beautiful satin bows at the end of each row. Our unity candle had tapered candles in storybook holders on each side of our storybook unity candle, and several flowers in vases placed around the altar.

I also had a unique fairytale wedding guestbook for everyone to sign when they entered the church. 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.

With flowers everywhere and crystal and silver shining on the tables the entire reception hall was so elegant. Every table in the reception hall had gorgeous crystal champagne flutes with decorated stems to go with our storybook theme. The place card holders on the guests tables were adorable little castles. 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 had all the elegance of a king and queen. Our cake of five gorgeous tiers, with a fairytale wedding topper, sat at the end of our wedding table on a smaller table. 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. Our wedding cake and topper were complimented by the lovely knife set next to it.

After we were toasted with our lovely crystal champagne flutes, it was time for the bride and groom to have their first dance together as man 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. I’m glad I bought the gorgeous fairytale photo album to store my wedding pictures in, because I’m going to have quite a few of them to treasure. Just before we left for our honeymoon, some of the guests thanked us for the lovely fairytale wedding favors we gave them.

Don’t ever let someone tell you that fairytales can’t come true, it did for us.
