Asside from filling the reception room with balloons and flowers, what other kinds of decorations would be wedding approprate/princess themed?
As of right now, I want the center pieces for the tables to consist of ballooons (8 people per table, 8 baloons) and holding down the balloons will be an assortment of Cinderella’s glass slipper, Magic wands, Princess crowns….
What else can I do to make the room look magical and enchanting?
String up white Christmas lights on the wall and then get white tulle to wrap over it.
Using irridescent confetti and ribbons on the tables, fake jewels (you can get these at a craft store), and silk flowers would be nice. You can make interesting chair covers (actually chair “shawls”) by tying tulle into bows (around the backs of the chairs) and then gently shaking irridescent glitter onto the tulle. You can also drape the tulle on the walls, using silk ribbon to make bows at the points of the drapes. A canopy over the wedding party table (made of tulle) would also be pretty. Another thing is to rent or buy toparies and trim them with twinkly white lights.
I second the white lights and tulle idea…or even just the lights..when done in moderation they give a nice glow.
Play love songs from Disney movies in the background. Drape shimmery tulle around the ceiling and tie tulle bows around the backs of the chairs. The white pillars that you rent would also look great with flowers or more balloon assortments throughout the room. Use very dim light.
first of all, LOVE the idea. not a reception idea, but there are places that make aisle runners with your choosing of words on them. how awesome would a runner saying “and they lived happily ever after” be?
I there are trees-white tule and twinkle lights (?)
Stars and glittery streamers hanging from the ribbons on the balloons.The punch could have a small amount of dry ice in it to give it the effect of fog rolling out of it.Is your cake a huge castle?Give the room a look like Cinderellas ball room,huge fluffy swags with bows that match the wedding colors.Have a great wedding and CONGRATULATIONS.
When it’s time to plan your reception, start with fabric, and lots of it. Ask your designer for a “fantasy fabric ceiling,” with great swags of tulle or organza dipping romantically toward the middle of the room. Then pile on the romance with white-on-white chair covers (sashes and bows, please), or use a pastel accent color of your choice for the sashes. Head tables, cake tables and other focal spots should have ornate, heavy skirting. Ice sculptures are practically a necessity at a Cinderella wedding: this is your wedding ‘crystal’. Go for a giant sparkling castle, glass slipper, tall glistening pillars (top with centerpiece-type items) or whatever your local ice sculptor can concoct. Consider pairing with dry ice for an otherworldly effect.
For centerpieces, you can get whimsical by buying real pumpkins. Choose a naturally white variety, or paint orange ones white. Start transforming your ordinary pumpkins into otherworldly carriages by with decking them out with craft-store pearls and rhinestones, and draping reins of silky ribbon over the top. Add bejeweled and painted cardboard wheels. You can also buy inexpensive pumpkin carriage planters.
I’ve seen lots of wedding-related items in the style of the Cinderella coach.
