I'm having a Cinderella themed wedding.  Anyone have some good ideas?

Castle shaped cake, sandwiches cut into Cinderella shapes i.e. pumpkins, mice, tiaras, stars, shoes. Wands & tiaras for table centerpieces, the glass slippers for bride, big puffy dress. My oldest had 2 little girls sing "Someday my prince will come" to her new husband at reception, it was precious.  A wedding planner would be helpful, if price is involved Ebay sells cheap wedding items. My youngest bought 4 dresses before finding the real perfect one. We sold the other 3 for less than 1/4 of cost on ebay, plus 2 viels. We have even sold several tiaras from padgents - not the big wins.

What about little white boxes or tiny pails of chocolate hearts or other candy, with a little note saying with love from (you & your partner)? (The Conversation Wedding Hearts look like a fun thing to wrap.) Or a white candle wrapped in gold or whatever color theme you have chosen? \n\nYou could put one at each place-setting at dinner, or you could send them out after the wedding with the thank-you cards - easier to organise than distributing them when you are trying to get away yourselves! \n\nThere are some great ideas on the links below, BTW, like personalised wedding-cookies.

For my wedding, which is in September, I am having all of my wedding party pick their favorite Love song and I am going to make a CD for all the guests. On the cover I am going to scan our engagement picture and the label on the cd, I am going to type the name of the song and who picked it...Its what i thought would be unique

any thing that is hand made and crafty looking.  Try hand stamped candles, home made soap with dried flowers tied to it.  Check out Martha Swerts "Weddings" She usually has a lot of good ideas.

go to the project gutenberg site or search for cinderella in the google site

Go with lots of red velvet - curtains, maybe rent some old fashioned chairs with red velvet seats and backs.  Maybe you could come up with some kind of trapeze contraption with a mannequin representing Nicole Kidman's character in the scene where she sings "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend."  And if you can get some kind of elephant for your centerpiece that could double as a model of the elephant house, that would be a kick.

First of all, figure out something about who you are as a couple that you can use as a theme in your wedding – something you like to do, a place you love to go to, your first date… try to think of ways to bring that theme in, whether it’s setting up karaoke if you love that, or basing everying on Moulin Rouge.  There are other unusal things you can do, too.  One thing I’ve heard of is to have a photo booth brought in to your reception site – it can give you and/or your guests some fun mementoes.  One of my friends named her tables after different spots that held memories for her and her fiancé – at each table was a card with a picture of the place and a short story or explanation on the back.  With the right location, you can set your reception up so that it flows through different rooms – one room for appetizers and cocktails, done up all in blue, then the next room for the main meal, done all in white, then another room for dancing and cake, done all in pink; this can be done with different themes/colors/etc, or all the same theme.  You can set up a little “lounge” area, with couches and comfy chairs for people to hang out.  The website below has some other interesting ideas.  Good luck, and congratulations!

My wedding is in July too! Congratulation first of all! I'm sure you're so excited! I will tell you what I did i hae bridesmaids i know you don't but maybe you can incorporate some of these ideas and colors in your wedding. The bridesmaids are wearing like a bright green almost lime color dress. My maids of honor are wearing a bright pink not hot pink kind of magenta. So I am going to have the flowers the same colors as their dresses. I have lots of colors in my wedding. I think it's okay to go with lots of color! I have white,pinks,greens,yellows and some purple. It's all about what you like. You said you want red roses in your bouquet so go with that. Keep in mind that too much red and green will start to look like a Christmas wedding and it'll be July. Just go with your gut!

I agree with the two people up there. Give them something that is useful. Most Irish/Catholic stores have great gift ideas! A horseshoe with an enscription on it would be kind of neat; or anything basically that the bride and groom could have to remember their wedding day. Practical is nice (anyone can buy a blender); but sentimental is better! But before you go to all the trouble to find a Irish/Catholic store, give yourself a bit of a break! I'm sure something that MEANS something and is from the heart, would be just as good! Goodluck! <3

a cowboy or pirate theme would be pretty cool, also spiderman or superman. If your kid is a girl, maybe go for a teddy bear theme. If you try a princess theme, you could make her feel really special by calling her 'princess' all the time.

You don't need a theme.  If you like the colors, then get all your extras to compliment those colors.  If you're looking for brides maids in one color then consider putting the groomsmen in the other color.  Or wrap a ribbon around the maids boquets that's the other color.  Just remember, sublty and simplicity are always beautiful.

I did everything for my wedding myself, and we were also on a budget.  I chose red as the color for the bridesmaid dresses...I also had a little red on my white dress, and I carried red roses.  The bridesmaids carried white calla lillies.  All the coursages and boutineers were red roses w/ white ribbons, when applicable.  All those flowers were down by Thrifty Florist and cost $290.00(USD) - (Bridal bouquet, 3 bridesmaids bouquets, 5 boutineers, 6 coursages) \n\nFor the ceremony/reception we did the flowers ourselves, I had red rose petals on the cake, and around the centerpieces, and along the edge of the head table.  The centerpieces were glass bowls with water and white floating candles.  I got the bowls at Wal-Mart, and the candles at candlesjustonline.com  I got the roses at Costco for $14/dozen.  I also made the toss bouquet out of red roses from Costco.  I got some artifical fall leaves from Wal-Mart and used those to decorate the arch we used in the ceremony, we also put them on the tables.  We had about 115 guests.  You can check out some pictures from the wedding/reception at my website http://stardustsweetee.tripod.com.  The fabric that's on the arch and the head table I got at Hancock Fabrics for about $10 total.  \n\nI tested out how I wanted the centerpieces to look before I bought 15 of the bowls and a bunch of candles.  I got one bowl and small package of floating candles, one little sprig of artifical leaves, and used my coffee table (even though it's square).  I set them out in different ways until I liked it...I asked his opinion, but of course, he didn't have one...\n\nWe made the chocolates that we gave to guests...Went to a cake decorating store and bought a brick (literally!) of chocolate, molds shaped like leaves, and some flavoring.  Melted the chocolate down, added flavor to the colored chocolate and poured it into the molds, let it set, and then filled the boxes I got at Weddingchannel.com (in the wedding shop) for $25/fifty boxes, the personalization was free, and tied a little red ribbon on the box.  Got the ribbon at Hancock Fabrics for 75 cents a spool.\n\nPlease feel free to email me with any questions/specifics, I'd love to help you!\nStarDustSweetee@yahoo.com

As a former wedding coordinator and a great sympathizer with Bride's everywhere I say that it's your day and you should do what will make YOU happy.\nThat being said...you may want to consider a few things.  A medieval themed wedding is a great way to add style to your event as well as bring out a really fun aspect of your personality and interests.\nPurple and gold is not what I would suggest nor would I go with blue and silver either. \nGold would be a WONDERFUL choice as it is the color most often associated with divinity in ancient times.  I also think that gold would be best complemented in a shade of deepest green. It would certainly go well concerning your floral motif.  Flowers, plants, herbs all were very popular back then and by draping the area of the ceremony and reception with them as opposed to going with traditional bougets and table arrangement you could easily move them from these sites and straight to your home.  With loving care and attention theses plants, flowers, and herbs could thrive for a very long time.  What a wonderful parallel to your married life.  The same greenery still alive and flourishing as your love for each other continue to grow and flourish as well!\nGood luck and let me know how it goes!

Oh my gosh!  How beautiful IS THAT going to be :-D!!\nThe leaves will just be changing....BREATHTAKING!\nIdeas?  Hu, well, if you haven't picked our colors yet I would go with brown and yellows or reds and oranges to of-course accent the changing seasons.\nInstead of flower pedals, the flower girl could sprinkle dried fallen oak leaves down the "isle".\nBeautiful white chairs on eather side of the isle with lots of white tuddle ( that see thew stuff)with the wedding colors accented with bows.\nI see the bridesmaids in a strapless gowns with shawls to keep out the cold.  I am going back to the yellows, oranges, golds, reds and browns.  How would black tuxes, black shirts w/ gold ties be...ooh!  and then have your hubby-to-be have a white shirt.\nor a theme of "cow-boy" could be cute, then you can do the hay-bales for seats and keep with the red and gold them.  Have a pig roast and the dance in the barn.  YEEEHAAA!

Probably something like it at Hobby Lobby or Michael's in the sticker/ scrapbooking section.  They have Disney themes if you are wanting that particular cinderella.

Winter Wonder-Wedding Theme\n\nSnow glistening in the sun like tiny diamonds. Warm and \ncozy flames blazing in the fireplace. Warm cider \nscented air. If these images evoke feelings in you, \nthen you realize that winter can be a truly magical \ntime, and a Winter Themed Wedding may be the perfect \nchoice for you. \nThough it's certainly not true everywhere, the most \ncommon association with wintertime is snow and the colors\nsilver/platinum, white, and aqua/blue.\nThe Bride may opt for faux fur \nlined gowns complete with muffs in place of a bouquet. \nBridesmaids can wear holiday dresses featuring snowflake \nor star motifs. \nWinter theme is one of the simplest to \ndecorate for. Pew bows can be as simple as white ribbon \nwith an snowflake ornament hanging from them.\nAfter the ceremony is over, it's time for the reception. \nWhite and blue tablecloths would be perfect for a winter theme wedding. Have the snow come to your reception by using snowflake confetti in iridiscent , silver, blue or mixed.\nFavors like snowflake floating candles, bottle stopper\nor an unique silver favor will add the touch of glitter.\nI hope that these ideas give \nyou inspiration to create your perfect Winter Wonder Wedding!
