Walking down the aisle in a ball gown style wedding dress with layers of tulle will make you feel like a princess.

Have your hair styled in an up do crowned with a sparkling tiara, cathedral length veil and wear a pair of feminine clear plastic shoes for the glass slippers.

For your prince charming and his groomsmen you can’t go wrong with a black tuxedo which will look stunning next to the princess bride. For more of a fairly tale feel you might like to consider a white tuxedo for the groom.

Send out elegant invitations which have been printed in a font which looks like calligraphy use wax seals to seal the envelope. 

Arrive at the ceremony in a horse and carriage, have trumpets announce you as you make your way down the aisle, while your flower girls scatter rose petals in front of you.

At the reception keep the fantasy and fairytale alive by the use of lots of fabric around the room; drape it on the head table, the cake table, the walls, the chairs. Use good quality luxurious linens on the tables.

Use lots of silver in the table decorations such as silver candelabras, napkin rings and place card holders. Use tall dramatic floral arrangements as the table centerpieces.

Floral topiaries and plenty of flowers can be placed around the room. Use candle light to give a soft romantic atmosphere.

Have an ice sculpture such as a swan placed in the center of the buffet table.

For the ceremony or dinner music consider hiring a sting quartet and harpist.

For your first dance learn the bridal waltz.

As you leave the reception have your guests light your way with sparklers (but do make sure that you have enough room to do this. Also check with the reception venue if this will be allowed).
