Bippity! Bobbity! Boo!  If a Disney Cinderella theme wedding is what you’re looking for, you may find that you have many options to choose from-with classic Disney Cinderella invitations to the wedding accesoories to the reception decorations and wedding favors.

But what style Cinderella theme wedding do you want? If the romance of Prince Charming and Cinderella dancing under the stars just makes you tingle, then there are plenty of designs with just this image; including a breath-taking cake top.  Just remember that less is more and it’s best to choose a few pieces that will really stand out.  For instance, the cake top or cake server set with Cinderella and Prince Charming place card holders.  A good mix may include a few Disney Cinderella pieces with realted accessories or favors.  Such as the pumpkin coach curio box favors pictured here with Disney’s Cinderella place cards.

Even though a fairy tale wedding day may be every little princess’ dream, it can still be a grown-up Princess’ reality without leaving the impression of a little girl’s birthday party.  It’s all about the style of your event.

Let’s say you want the castle in the sky, fairy tale theme wedding.  A castle cake topper is a great idea.  But how do we guarantee a classy adult event?  White or ivory and glitter are invited, but stay away from pinks, purples and yellow.  Even if your wedding colors include these (that’s fine!) but generally an all white or ivory cake will be more appropriate for a wedding.  i think the pictures above say it all!

Choosing the Fairy Tale Wedding Favors

Sometimes it’s the little things.  It’s not that I didn’t immensely enjoy (nearly) every moment of planning my wedding, but there was something extra special about choosing our wedding favors.

We had a spring wedding, both the ceremony and reception were held outdoors.  The ceremony was in a vineyard and it seemed almost perfect to choose a grape, vine or wine type wedding favor.  There were certainly plenty to choose from.  In the end, I fell in love with these adorable fairy tale wedding favors and it worked out well that they came as a bottle stopper favor as well!

The Perfect Wedding Guest Book Idea

My sister has always been the creative kind, so it was no surprise that most of her wedding items were DIY!  But one of the things that really stood out for me was how she took a regular white guest book and turned it into a collage of her and her man’s life together and hobbies.

The perfect wedding guest book!  This wedding story collage picture frame reminded me of what my sister did and I thought, “what a great way for us not-so-creative types to do the same thing!  Display a story for our wedding guests.  After all, this is our day!

Most every girl dreams about her fairy tale wedding day.  When the day comes to actually plan the big event, nostalgia is a huge part of the fun.  Planning a Cinderella theme wedding belongs to the princess bride who wants her girlie fantasies to become a dream come ture! 

But the are many twists and versions of a Cinderella theme wedding.  You may the classic Disney’s Cinderella fan, in which case you will just have to start with Disney’s Cinderella invitations, Cinderella and her Prince Charming wedding cake top, ring bearer pillow and place card holders.  Don’t forget to invite her true friends, the mice and other animals.  (Pictured above is a picture frame that could be included on the reception entry or cake table!)  Of course a more modern Cinderella theme wedding doesn’t have to include any Disney items at all.  A horse drawn carriage coach and glass slipper ice sculpture or cake top will give your guests the idea that your dreams have come true, beginning this day…
