FairyTale Wedding Decor

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Most girls dream of having a FairyTale Wedding from a very young age. Though each bride’s idea of the perfect FairyTale Wedding is different, you can’t really go wrong with the classic elegance of a FairyTale theme wedding. Think light hues - shades of white combined with just about any other hue are the perfect colors for FairyTale theme wedding or fairy tale theme shower.

My favorite color combos for a Fairy Tale event:
-White/Ivory with a light shade of blue
-Ivory with a shimmery lavendar
-White/Ivory and fushia
-Ivory with Gold and Silver - breathtaking!
-All white or all ivory
-Ivory/White with red

Of course, there is no limit on what colors you should choose for your fairytale theme shower or wedding, but you certainly can’t go wrong with the colors listed above as they are classic and beautiful. Make sure you select Fairy Tale Wedding Favors that add to the ambiance of your theme.

If you don’t have the money to pay for a florist, make your own centerpieces at home.

Here’s what you’ll need:

-Wholesale flowers (buy these in bulk either from an online store or a local grocery store)
-Glassware (These can be bought wholesale online or from a local craft or dollar store)
-Something to fill the glass vases with
-Garden Shears
-Hot Glue Gun
-ribbon or raffia in colors of your choice

How to create the perfect floral centerpiece:
Fill each vase with an item of your choice, try colored jelly beans in your wedding colors, cranberries or other fruit such as apples, lemons, oranges or kiwis. Cut the flowers using the garden shears so that they look very full around the rim of the vase. Fill the vase with water about 3/4 of the way. Now cut ribbon enough so that it wraps around the vase and hot glue it on.
