Themed weddings are very popular nowadays. You’ve probably heard of everything from black and white themed weddings to Hawaiian luau themed weddings. If you are planning on getting married soon, you may want to think about having a Cinderella themed wedding. It is ideal for any woman who always wanted the perfect fairytale wedding. Here are some tips on how to plan a Cinderella themed wedding.
Invitations
The first thing that you will want to think about when planning a Cinderella wedding is how you can incorporate the theme into your wedding invitations. Luckily, there are a number of different Cinderella invitations which are on the market for you to choose from. If you do a quick search on Google, you will find so many different types of Cinderella wedding invitations. One great place to purchase them from is The Party Block, a wedding supply store. Here, you will find various invitation and save the date designs, ranging from a silhouette of Cinderella and her Prince Charming to a glass slipper.
Transportation
If you are planning to have a Cinderella themed wedding, then a horse drawn carriage is a must. Most carriage rentals actually offer Cinderella-inspired carriages. However, if they do not, then you will simply want to ask for a white and/or gold carriage. In order to ensure that the horse drawn carriage looks even more magical, you will also want to consider asking for white horses. Be sure to check with all of the different carriage rentals in the area, in order to see which service will be able to best accommodate your needs.
A huge factor which should be taken into consideration with any wedding is where the location will be. There are a number of different options which are available if you are planning on having a Cinderella themed wedding. If you can find a manor to hold it at, this could be a great choice. A garden at night would also be a very nice option. However, keep in mind that any place can be transformed into the perfect place to hold a Cinderella themed wedding.
If you are planning on having a Cinderella themed wedding, one of the most important things that you will need to think about is the dress that you will wear. A very puffy, gorgeous wedding gown will make any Cinderella wedding complete. Most women will want to stick with a white wedding gown, as this is only traditional. However, if you want to resemble Cinderella even closer, think about choosing a very light blue wedding gown instead. You will want to wear your hair up in an elegant bun with a tiara. You will also want to think about wearing a v-shaped necklace or pearls with your dress. If you can find glass slippers (actually plastic) to go with your dress, then wear them. Otherwise, look for crystal embellished shoes for a sparkling appearance.
Whether you want to have long or short bridesmaid dresses, almost any style will work. However, if you are planning on having a Cinderella themed wedding, you will probably want to have your bridesmaids wear cool colors. Shades of light, medium or dark purples and blues will work out well. Since pink is a “princess color,” it will also work out well if you would rather have them wear it. Keep in mind, however, that it is best to incorporate your bridesmaid dress colors into the décor of the wedding.
Tuxedo Color
It really does not matter what type of tuxedo your husband-to-be wears at your wedding if you are having a Cinderella theme. A black tuxedo will work just fine. However, if you want him to closely resemble Prince Charming in Disney’s Cinderella movie, present him with the option of wearing a white tuxedo instead.
A Cinderella themed wedding is really all about elegance. What could be more elegant than swans? Consider having an ice sculpture of two swans that form a heart shape. You can also think about having a glass slipper ice sculpture. Although there are so many different types of ice sculptures that you can have at your wedding, swans or a glass slipper will both work out nicely with the Cinderella theme. However, don’t be afraid to use your imagination when it comes to ice sculptures.
A castle wedding cake is probably the most popular type of cake that people choose to have at their weddings. However, if you do not like the idea of this, there is another option for you. It is an all-white wedding cake with light blue flowers. With this wedding cake, don’t forget to add a Cinderella wedding cake topper. You can add either a Cinderella and Prince Charming topper, a carriage topper or even a glass slipper topper. Once again, use your imagination when trying to figure out what type of wedding cake you would like to have at your Cinderella themed wedding.
Décor and Flowers
Try to incorporate the same colors that your bridesmaids will be wearing into the wedding décor and flowers. Blues, purples and pinks tend to work the best. Also do not forget about white and silvers, which both will work well with a Cinderella wedding theme. For centerpieces, consider using glass slippers, horse drawn carriages or little castles. Look online for Cinderella decorations and decoration ideas. Keep in mind that the decorations and flowers will really be an important key to your Cinderella themed wedding!
Planning a Cinderella themed wedding can be really fun. If you have always dreamed of a fairytale wedding, then this is definitely a theme that you may want to consider for your own wedding. Since a wedding is a once in the lifetime experience, don’t be afraid to get as crazy with this theme as you possibly can. It will definitely be a memorable experience for both you and your guests!
