All these scenarios are based on fairy-tale plots with a set of magical elements, characteristic characters, and a special atmosphere. Once the concept has been chosen, it is worth thinking about the venue. Find a picturesque corner, for example, a beautiful pond, a forest edge. For the warm season, the ideal solution is a fairy-tale style wedding in nature. For colder weather, choose ancient estates, castles, palaces.

- The bride's dress must be lush, as close as possible to the outfit of Cinderella from a fairy tale. It can be any color, but it must be a ball color. Particular attention should be paid to the choice of shoes. According to the script, they should be crystal. You can achieve this effect if the shoes are made of translucent material, embroidered with sequins, beads, and decorated with patterns. It is better to choose shoes with small, stable heels, because you will have to dance on them all day, twirling to the sounds of a waltz.

They will be able to prepare and buy the appropriate outfit. If the newlyweds are planning a dress code at the wedding, this must be stated in the invitations.

You can sketch out a sketch and go to a tailor to implement it. Depending on the chosen theme, the bride can become for one day:

Guest attire
The outfits of wedding guests should correspond to the theme of the celebration. Mostly girls prefer lush, beautiful dresses and jewelry with precious stones. You can definitely decorate your hair with beautiful hair clips. Men can choose elegant tuxedos, tailcoats, and black classic suits. But in general, the dress code for each fairy tale theme is individual. Discuss your wedding style with the heroes of the occasion: they may suggest you dress up as certain characters.
Forest fairy tale wedding: dress code for guests
What is a wedding without guests? Help your guests blend harmoniously into the environment you have created by discussing the dress code with them in advance. A forest wedding involves natural colors and not too bright tones. It may be worth indicating in the invitations what style is expected at your celebration. Children, if desired, can be dressed up as fairy-tale creatures. This will only add a festive atmosphere to the wedding. Needless to say, how funny the photos can be when formal suits are replaced by more casual, but still festive and elegant outfits.
Wedding decoration in fairytale style
When you have decided on the venue for a fairytale wedding, think about making every guest who comes to the celebration feel like they are at a magical celebration. To do this, you will need to appropriately decorate the room where the ceremony will take place. Style is created by details, so choose garlands with shimmering figures, translucent curtains, unusual lighting, and magical music. Use your imagination, and then an ordinary dining room can become a fabulous corner.
Winter weddings are especially fun to decorate. Decorative snowflakes, garlands of silver balls, pearl stars, spectacular compositions made using snow-covered tree branches, thoughtful lighting - such details will make guests gasp with delight when they find themselves in a real winter fairy tale. Watch films on the chosen topic and try to recreate the same atmosphere at the holiday that is captured in the footage.
Forest wedding: decoration
In this article, we have discussed several times the importance of using natural materials in decorating a forest wedding. Moss and berries, dried flowers and feathers can serve as excellent decorations, while wood cuts, for example, can be used to make some important decorative elements.
When decorating, stick to the initially chosen forest brownish-green palette of shades, but also take into account the fact that berry, burgundy, purple or sea blue are quite worthy of diluting it.
Don't forget about entertainment. If the celebration takes place outdoors, then it can be divided into thematic zones. For example, a handicraft master class, archery, photo zone. In the latter case, the necessary lighting can be provided by lamps disguised with natural materials.
In general, the main secret of decorating a forest wedding is a good combination of nature with modern decorations. Lanterns on trees, candles in themed candlesticks, colored ribbons and colorful garlands - all this will add beauty to your holiday venue. In an enclosed room or tent, the walls and ceiling can be complemented with figures, pom-poms or letters made of moss and other natural materials.
Invitations for guests
When the fabulous wedding scenario acquires new details, and the main line is already clearly visible, it is worth thinking about such little things as invitations. Guests will understand where you are calling them, not only from the text. Everyone who receives it will be happy to keep the original invitation as a keepsake. Introduce your guests into your fairy tale in a special way - use different forms of cards, paper, fonts. Choose invitations that will echo the theme of the wedding.
Banquet hall decoration
The decoration of the wedding hall should fully correspond to the main idea. An important role is played by details that create a mood in tune with the holiday. Choose carefully the materials for decorating the wedding hall, for example, transparent, flowing fabrics - silk, satin, brocade. Unusual souvenirs, wedding decor items, and antiques will ideally complement the design. Consider mysterious, romantic lighting, such as a night sky projector, glass fairy lights, or candles.
Carefully consider the arrangement of small wedding decor items: where the magic wand and the fairy-tale spindle from Sleeping Beauty will lie, the pumpkin carriage and Cinderella’s crystal slipper, the red boots of the cat and the mouse, the magic mirror and the poisoned apple. It’s easy to choose accessories; for this, the main thing is to read a fairy tale. In general, light airy fabrics for drapery, an abundance of flowers, and candlesticks are suitable for the wedding atmosphere.
Holiday table decor
Place flower arrangements, candles, and vases with sweets on the tables. Lace tablecloths will perfectly complement the festive fairy-tale atmosphere. It is better to choose classic cutlery: crystal and porcelain will ideally emphasize the fairy-tale nature of the wedding. Remember that in fairy tales they throw a feast for the whole world. To make the banquet look like a feast of kings, refer to the dishes mentioned in the tales. Cups of wine, roasted quail, beautiful table settings - it all depends on the fairy tale that served as the inspiration for your fairytale-style wedding.
Decor
Look for things to decorate a fairytale wedding in grandma's chests, attics and basements with long-forgotten furniture and other interesting trinkets. Flowers, crystal, silverware, gilding and precious stones, and candles will help create the right atmosphere. You can make some of the paraphernalia yourself, for example, royal invitations or place cards from apples, as in our master classes.

The bride's bouquet
A fabulous bridal bouquet should be shiny, colorful and bright. To compose it, use strings of pearls, feathers, rhinestones, ribbons, braid, lace, and decorative insects. You can choose any flowers, but the main thing is that the shape of the bouquet and the color scheme are correct. The palette of colors depends on the style of the wedding. For Snow White's bouquet, choose wild and forest flowers; for the composition of the delicate Cinderella from the fairy tale of the same name - light lilac orchids, blue roses; The Snow Queen will be decorated with a bouquet of beautiful white roses.
Bride's image
Perhaps the main advantage of a themed fairytale wedding is that the bride can feel like a real princess on this happy day. Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White or the Snow Queen - choose the image you like and use your imagination!

In makeup, glitter, mother-of-pearl, fluffy flapping eyelashes and even elements of face art are allowed. As for the hairstyle, curls, braids and weaves, as well as smooth hairstyles in the style of Cinderella, will look simply magical.

A wedding cake
The pearl of the table, its main decoration, is a fairy-tale style wedding cake. Guests should be amazed by the masterpiece of confectionery art, which can be decorated in the form of a carriage or a castle. If you prefer more traditional types of baking, then the wedding cake can be large and multi-tiered, but not voluminous, and its top will be decorated with figurines of a fairy-tale prince and princess. The main task of the pastry chef is to combine beauty and fabulous taste, for which meringues and nuts, various light creams and mastic are used in cakes of this type.
Invitation to a fairytale wedding
In order for guests to understand what kind of wedding celebration they are being invited to, it is necessary that the invitation very well reflects the style of the future event.
To emphasize the antique style, use fonts that reflect the style of a fairy-tale Princess, for example Calligraphic font. You can look for antique stamps and even put a specific stamp on the envelope.
Invitations can be made in the form of scrolls, which will perfectly highlight the style of the wedding.
You can also make a wedding invitation with your own hands in the form of scrolls, and decorate the top with beautiful ribbons, bows, sparkles or confetti in order to give the invitees the opportunity to lift the veil of secrecy a little about what exactly awaits them at an unforgettable wedding event.
Wedding procession in fairytale style
No fairy tale is complete without magical means of transport. The task of the newlyweds is to impress the guests with an unusual motorcade for transportation. It is unlikely that you will be able to find a wedding magic carpet, but carriages and horse-drawn carriages are at your disposal. The bride and groom can get to the registry office, ride around the city, take pictures inside a luxurious fairy-tale motorcade drawn by magnificent horses.
