For some woman they have their heart set on a fairy tale wedding, this isn’t just a normal white wedding but one that feels magical and the bride feels like a rescued princess. They tend to be very girly and more centred around the bride than traditional weddings.

Castle and stately homes make excellent venues for this wedding theme as they add to the grandeur of the event.

Even the wedding dress has a particular style that fits this wedding theme well, a fitted corset top with layer and layers of sparkling tulle for the skirt.  Even the men are more formal and tend to wear Tuxedos instead of a traditional morning suit. 

Simple delicate bridal accessories just aren’t going to cut it for a fairy tale wedding, this bride isn’t about keeping things low key and everything including their accessories show this.   Both the wedding jewellery and tiara should stand out, be full of sparkle and big. 

Because you’re looking for a particular type of bridal accessory, you might struggle to find it in a small bridal shop, so look online for crowns and large tiaras.  Since you always think of tiaras and crowns when you think of princesses and fairytale weddings, choose this first, then find jewellery to match. 

A part of the fairy tale wedding theme which can easily be achieved is your arrival to the wedding venue, should should definitely have a horse driven carriage or a fairytale carriage like cinderella. If you’re getting married in winter this might not be a good idea as the weather could be bad. 

Since the wedding venue should feel magical decorate it with fairy lights and tea light candles.  You could decorate your tables with more candles and table crystals to give a brilliant atmosphere.  Choose your table names wisely, try regal names or writing the names in old english to give character.  

Your food should be high quality and not your normal stodgy food.  Think of food fit for royalty, this should give you a good idea of the food you should be serving.  Very formal dinners tend to have a lot of courses so you could also incorporate this, instead of having 3 courses, have 5 or 6 smaller courses. Classical music will help set the tone of your reception initially.  If you want to relax into the evening once all the formalities are over, you should consider hiring a DJ, band or both.
