A Cinderella Castle Near You!

If you are planning on having a Cinderella Fairy Tale Wedding you know that: the fairytale wedding starts with draping, and lots of it: draped walls, head tables, cake tables, sweetheart tables, you name it.

Like other fantasy weddings, the fairytale wedding starts with draping, and lots of it: draped walls, head tables, cake tables, sweetheart tables, you name it.

Other ingredients: lots of silver (candelabras, silver cake plateaus), plenty of pinks, classical symbols (swan or double-swan ice sculptures are perfect here), and pearl or rhinestone accents as brooches or bouquet ornaments, and buckets and buckets of rose petals.

Plus, every princess bride needs a really cute card box, whether it be a magic pumpkin or a sassy hot-pink hat box. A giant Storybook guest book would be a cute touch, too.

This theme pretty much determines where you’ll hold the reception: a ballroom. Unless, that is, you’re lucky enough to be able to book an actual castle, or live near one of America’s castle-style buildings.

Tips on: Seating your Guests

If you have a small, informal reception, you may not feel you need a seating plan. However, for large numbers, or a sit down meal, both you and your guests may benefit from a seating chart. The wedding meal may last for 2-3 hours and is a significant part of the day. If your guests are sitting with people they get along with, it will make a big difference to their overall enjoyment of the day!

The traditional head table:

While the traditional head table is still favored by most, alternatives are often being used such as including parents and clergy. Some are even including partners of the bridal party which works nice if you are using a Sweetheart table.

Seating tables with just one family group will let them relax, but it will not do much to encourage mingling. However, a table where no one knows anyone else might be a bit daunting for most people. Try and arrange a mix on each table-so everyone knows a few people. By thinking about guests’ ages and interests you can make sure that each table is likely to get on and have fun!

Where to sit singles can also create a dilemma. On one hand you might try out a little match-making, but on the other, this could be rather uncomfortable and awkward for your guests. Certainly avoid a ’Singles Table’.

We have all been to weddings that we attended without an escort, knowing only the bride or a few members of the family and were either seated at the ’singles table’ or seating was a free for all. What memory of the wedding did you leave with?
By seating your guests appropriately they can see that you took the time on your special day to think of them to make sure they enjoyed themselves. It is little details like this that go a long way to your guests and will ensure that everyone will remember your wedding with warm thoughts.
