Cinderella Wedding Ideas
For couples seeking a fairy tale-inspired wedding, a Cinderella theme is an option to consider. You can plan and execute a wedding inspired by the tale of Cinderella that incorporates both the story and the Walt Disney cartoon. Blue, silver and white decorations can be paired with symbolic elements such as horse-drawn carriages and castles. The bride can even be dressed as Cinderella.
Invitations
To set the mood before your guests arrive, send out Cinderella-inspired invitations. Use high-grade card stock embellished with a picture of the Cinderella castle. You may even want to incorporate silver or white ribbon or craft gemstones.
Blue Ball Gown
A blue ball gown similar to the one Cinderella wears in the Disney cartoon will reflect your theme better than a traditional white dress. These can be custom-made by a designer, or if you are familiar with hand-dyeing fabric, you can dye a white dress blue at home.
Castle Cake Topper
Online retailers such as Weddingfairytaledreams.com sell cake toppers that are miniature replicas of the Cinderella castle at Disney World. Guests will instantly recognize this iconic symbol and it will coincide perfectly with your theme.
Cinderella Colors
Blue, white and silver are the colors most often associated with the character of Cinderella. Use white chair covers alongside blue and silver sashes and tablecloths to decorate your wedding reception. These colors can be carried into your flowers, wedding cake, wedding favors and ceremony decorations.
Horse-Drawn Carriage
Instead of arriving or leaving your wedding reception in a traditional limousine, rent a horse-drawn carriage. Cinderella used a horse-drawn carriage to arrive at the ball, and guests will recognize the significance of this method of transportation.
Glass Slipper Favors
Favorideas.com sells miniature glass slippers that you can give as wedding favors. The glass slipper is one of the biggest symbols of the story of Cinderella; handing these out as guest favors will leave a lasting impression.
Decorative Banners
Simply worded banners can be used to decorate your reception venue, hanging at doors or along table edges. For example, the head table can be adorned with a banner that says, "At Last She Found Her Prince" and the exit door can be decorated with a banner that says, "Happily Ever After." These banners can be constructed from high-grade banner paper or fabric.
Twinkle Lights and Tulle
To give your wedding the last touches of a fairy-tale feeling, use loose tulle and twinkle lights to adorn the ceiling and any railings. These will give the room a soft dreamlike atmosphere that will perfectly complement a Cinderella theme.
