The story of Cinderella is one that just about every girl knows. It is one of the favorites because it is not about a princess in trouble but a rags to riches story where a girl forced by life and family to become a servant gains the chance for her shining moment and becomes for a magical night the princess she dreams of being. Of course the dream ends and she has to overcome obstacles to be with her prince but in the end the dream ends of having the seed of truth and substance that allows her to have a happily ever after. If you are a bride wanting to reproduce Cinderella in your wedding it can be daunting. Don’t be worried or concerned here are some suggestions to help you plan your own Cinderella wedding.
First, think of what decorations you want to use for the hall or church sanctuary where the ceremony will occur. Despite the poor girl finds happily ever the setting is a royal ball so think about using colors like royal blue, white, red. A great idea is to research how royal events are decorated especially look at the turn of the century if you want a look similar to that seen in the Disney movie version. Doing so thanks to the internet and good bargain hunting so does not have to cost a royal amount. Also there are other touches that you can include such as the use of crystal or pumpkins. This is something that is especially viable during like the fall season if you want to use real pumpkins. The main guiding point should be that the decor should be apparent but tasteful. You want the decor to accentuate your fairytale moment not overshadow it.
Use pumpkin, mice in livery, and other comical figures and motifs from the tails for the reception hall this will be in tune with the festive, celebratory mood of the reception. Also think of using the crystal part of the Cinderella theme more actively. You can do this with crystal candle holders shaped like shoes or Cinderella figurines. The crystal gives you the chance to use your own interpretation of the story in new and interesting ways. Also this extends to wedding favors. You can go several routes with gifts. You can give a favor with humorous sayings like” I didn’t need to run at midnight when I found my prince” and so on. Another route to go is to choose useful gifts and decorate them with Cinderella themed motifs.
Another great idea is to use the pumpkin theme to the hilt. For example try using pumpkin scented or shaped candles. You can even go as figurines shaped like the pumpkin carriage from the story. You can also use the theme in other gifts like stationary, frames, and photo albums.
Also use the theme to guide the design of your cake. You can do anything from a traditional cake with crystal shoe toppers, or a cake in the shape of the pumpkin carriage. Use your imagination and what you know of the story to create a fun and imaginative cake that your guests will surely enjoy.
The story is also a dance story so make music and dancing a big part of your reception. You can also have fun activities like Dance Revolution for younger guests to have fun on. Also try doing fun group dances like the Electric slide. This is just another way to add fairytale fun to your wedding.
