I looked at a lot of wedding options before I decided I wanted to have a themed wedding and reception. All I had to do now, was decide which theme I wanted to go with. I took a look at the country western theme, and it seemed like it would be a lot of fun. I even considered having a barn dance for our reception party. We were having our wedding during the hot summer months, so a beach themed wedding sounded pretty great. We could party and swim until the sun sets on the beautiful blue water. There were so many themed ceremonies and reception parties to choose from. And they had every accessory online from decorations to a wedding cake knife to match every theme. All the themed suggestions were quite unique, but it was the fairytale theme that I liked the best.

Since, I had made up my mind to use the storybook theme, it was time to find my accessories and reception supplies. The first thing I bought was the wedding invitations for our guests. 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. I chose some lovely tulle swags to be draped from pew to pew with beautiful satin bows at the end of each row. Tall vases filled with flowers were all around the altar, and tapered candles in fairytale holders were place on the sides of the unity candle.

I also had a unique fairytale wedding guestbook for everyone to sign when they entered the church. Our fairytale wedding ceremony was everything I had hoped for and more. Our little ring boy and flower girl were adorable and did such a super job at the ceremony. We took a carriage ride to the reception, just like Cinderella and her Prince left their ceremony.

All the tables at the reception were sparkling with crystal and silver and the entire reception hall was lavishly decorated with flowers. Every table in the reception hall had gorgeous crystal champagne flutes with decorated stems to go with our storybook theme. The place card holders on the guests tables were adorable little castles. I also got the idea to purchase little carriage favor boxes and fill them with candies for each guest at their tables.

All the reception tables looked elegant, but the wedding table of the bride and groom outshined them all. It had all the elegance of a king and queen. 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. I saw a gorgeous wedding knife in a storybook theme with a very decorative handle. The wedding cake server and knife was so lovely, I wanted to buy more things that matched! The set made a nice addition to the wedding cake and topper decoration.

As soon as the bridal toast and the best man’s speech was over, my husband and I had our first dance as husband and wife. Our favorite song is by all for one and is “ I Swear” and that’s the one we danced to. Other couples came up to dance as soon as the next song began. 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. Our guests let us know how much they appreciated the storybook wedding favors we had for each of them.

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