Princess Wedding Themes

Every girl wants to feel like a princess once in a while and even more so on her wedding day. She wants to feel like a princess to her parents, her new husband and a princess to all the little children attending the wedding. It also means that the little girl inside all of us is truly nurtured.

So, why not have a princess inspired wedding to truly give you a feeling of royalty?

First and foremost, a princess inspired wedding theme must centre on a fairytale. For every stereotypical thought you may have of a princess in a story book or fairytale, there is a wedding idea that can be incorporated into your big day. As far as your dress is concerned, you have to go for a princess style. You could choose a ball gown shaped dress i.e. with a fitted bodice and full skirt.

These look great especially if the skirt is really full with layers and layers of tulle and netting. Alternatively, you may go for a simple fitted silk gown with a long silk train. This type of dress can be made more princess like with the introduction of a small crown or tiara. If you are opting for coloured wedding attire, ensure you are covered with face and hair jewels to complete the Oriental princess look. The same ideas apply to bridesmaids and young female attendants.

Then, to ensure that your groom is kitted out as your prince, he does need to look the part. A lightly coloured suit would be in keeping with the rest of the theme or something similar. However, he may be dressing is bright colours which is fine too as long as he looks very smart and well groomed. After all, princes are always well attired and incredibly dashing.

It is a known fact that little male attendants are usually more accommodating than older ones when it comes to dressing up for a wedding. So, thirdly, you can use them as your mini princes, and dress them in three quarter length trousers, waistcoats with crisp shirts underneath. They will look sensational next to the mini princesses!

As far as flowers are concerned, anything goes as long as they are pretty, plentiful and beautifully scented. Ensure all members of the bridal party have button holes, female attendants should carry posies draped in ribbon and table decorations should co-ordinate nicely with everything else. It's becoming more and more common for tables to be scattered with petals so why not do this too?

When it comes to travel, your guests will naturally think of castles, carriages and silver tiaras when they learn of your princess themed wedding. What better way to succumb to their, and your, desires than with Princess themed candles as favours and place settings?

If you really want to take your princess themed wedding to the extreme, why not hire an ice sculptor to create a fantastic centrepiece. You could even have one made in a castle shape!

However you interpret the princess theme in your wedding, have the fairytale you deserve but don't forget to be home by midnight!
