How to Have a Fairy Tale Wedding

Prince Charming, birds and butterflies, a full, shimmering white wedding gown, even a white horse and carriage are some images that little girls dream about when they imagine their wedding day. Yet all little girls grow up and develop a sense of style all their own. It is that perfect, individual style that will set the tone for a true fairy tale wedding day.

The first step in creating your fairy tale wedding day begins with compiling images that bring you and your husband-to-be joy. It could be a photo of a modern table setting with clear vases, sleek blossoms and bold linens. It may be a swatch of lace from your mothers' own wedding gown or a photograph taken from a vacation in Maui of an exotic flower with the sunset in the background. Whatever the image, color or texture may be, if it brings happiness to you and your fiance, incorporate it into your wedding day.

The most important part of step one is to remember that there are no rules for bringing your fairy tale to life. From traditional red roses and silver candlesticks on crisp white linens to unique Mokara orchids paired with succulent greenery, the concept of 'fairy tale' has evolved! Today's bride must embrace all things personal and memorable to her and her future husband in order to create the dream-environment from which to start their life together. Don't be afraid to showcase those things that truly say 'fairy tale' to you!

Prepared with a few of your favorite things, your next step is to get together with your Event Company and discuss these treasures. Your highly-qualified team of experts can easily take these things that inspire your senses and present you with customized menu of ideas for bringing your special day to life. This exciting step is the moment that it all starts to come together. Your wedding specialist may show you a flower in the exact color of your favorite pair of high heels or a linen option identical to the one pictured in your favorite clipping from a bridal magazine. You may even have the opportunity to see how drastically different your reception venue looks with LED lighting versus house lighting. Whatever it was you were dreaming of, it is during your planning appointment with your specialist that it begins to take shape.

The key step, above all else, is to remember that real-life fairy tales include those wonderful and spontaneous details you could never plan for. Go with the flow and try to stay relaxed during this special time! On your wedding day you may find yourself putting golf balls for a dollar with your new father-in-law or being surprised by your now-husband and favorite uncle with a sparkler shoot that goes off during your first dance! Grown-up Cinderella's know that it is the combination of both the planned and unplanned that make the day even better than she could have imagined.
