I decided, after looking at many wedding suggestions, to have a themed ceremony and reception party. Now the decision was which theme to use. The country western theme seemed like it would be lots of fun. I thought maybe we could have an old fashioned barn dance at the reception. We were having our wedding during the hot summer months, so a beach themed wedding sounded pretty great. We could have a great time, swimming, partying on shore and watching a gorgeous sunset in the background. There were so many themed ceremonies and reception parties to choose from. And they had every accessory online from decorations to a wedding knife server to match every theme. With all the themed wedding suggestions they had, I decided to go with the gorgeous fairytale wedding.

Since, I had made up my mind to use the storybook theme, it was time to find my accessories and reception supplies. Of course the very first thing to do is get the invitations for our friends and family. Next, it was time to choose the wedding decorations and accessories I wanted for our ceremony and reception. I wanted everything to look as Cinderella like as possible. First I needed to get the decorations I wanted to use in the church. Tulle swags were draped from each row of pews with a bow of satin pinned on each end. There were flowers in tall vases placed around the altar and taper candles in fairy tale themed candle holders on each side of our beautiful unity candle.

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. Our little ring boy and flower girl were adorable and did such a super job 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.

The reception hall was really beautiful with all the lovely flowers everywhere and the lovely tables all set up with crystal and silver. All the tables had crystal champagne flutes with storybook designed stems. 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.

Despite the beauty of our reception tables, I think the bride and groom table was definitely the center of attention. It gave the appearance of royalty to the reception. 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. Even the fairytale wedding knife they had was special with it’s lovely styled handle. I wanted the complete wedding cake knife set instead of just a plain knife because I wanted it to be special. The knife set just added to the décor of our wedding cake and topper.

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 chose our favorite song, “I Swear” by all for one, as our first bride and groom dance. After our song was over, couples filled the dance floor, for the next song. 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.

Our wedding and reception was truly unbelievable and I know now that fairytales can come true.
