A Cinderella Fairytale Wedding
A pure white dress, flowing down to the floor, a train of endless length following gracefully behind, the veil placed strategically under a crown fit for a queen. This is our Princess, and this is her fairytale wedding.
Just imagine walking into a ballroom draped in exquisite gold fabrics and a red carpet leading down to two thrones in the middle. Gold and silver chairs on both sides of the long red carpet. The carpet comes to an end at three steps leading up to a platform of gold and white, two tall thrones, decorated in jewels and dark colored cushions, sitting side-by-side, the prince standing before the left throne. A grand organ in the back right corner of the ballroom plays the wedding theme as the princess makes her way down the carpet, her long train following behind.
She is wearing a flowing gown, a long veil, a gold crown on top of the veil. She is simple, yet elegant, with a gold necklace around her neck, decorated with a charm, or maybe she prefers a stunning Victorian inspired pearl necklace set. The dress is white, maybe with a gold trim, white strapped heels decorate her feet. A gorgeous bouquet of white roses (bridal white signifies happy love), a small gold ribbon keeps these roses bundled together.
The bridesmaids to the right are dressed in light colored Victorian ball gowns, long gloves matching their gowns, and each one is holding a single yellow rose in their hand (a yellow rose means "I care", and signifies friendship), the groomsmen to the left in white gloves and tuxes, all standing in front of the platform, but not blocking the stairs up. Victorian style jewelry would be perfect for these gorgeous bridesmaids. The prince is dressed in a tux as well, with white gloves on, but unlike his groomsmen, he has one white rose pinned to the front of his tux.
The couple give their final kiss, and turn to their audience. As the ceremony comes to a close, the couple walk side by side down the long red carpet, white rice being tossed into the air, not at our couple, and they go outside to be greeted by two white horses, and a round white carriage. The couple ride off in this Cinderella style carriage.
For the after party of the happy couple, the fairytale can be carried over to the wedding reception. The room can be costumed in a Victorian ball style; gold, deep red, and white would be the ideal colors. The tables can be draped in deep red cloth with gold trim, white plates on top, a bouquet of white and red roses (these two colors combined symbolize unity) in gold vases in the center of each table.
The tables all surround a dance floor in the middle of the room, white and red rose petals scattered across, this will be where the couple shall share their first dance as a married couple and it should be special. A small stage beside the dance floor would be perfect for a small band.
Most importantly, the couple, as well as their guests, should enjoy themselves, so dance the night away! Don't forget to thank your guests with Fairytale Wedding Favors so they'll always remember your happily every after fairytale wedding.

Cutting Costs On Your Wedding Cake

From http://www.hitched.co.uk/

Not all of us have unlimited budgets for our weddings (in fact, most of us don't), so any tips that one can get to reduce wedding costs are more than welcome. A major expense during wedding planning is the cost of the wedding cake.
As most bakers charge according to per piece, with prices starting from $3 per piece and going up to $15 per piece, the entire cost of the wedding cake can add up to a small fortune (depending on how many guests you are expecting).

Check out these cost cutting tips for wedding cakes, which we have put together for you. These tips will help you to have the cake of your dreams, without you having to spend that small fortune.

1) Buying the Cake: You can either buy your wedding cake from a baker or order it with your caterer. If your caterer has the type of wedding cake that you are looking for, then it is cheaper to order the cake with them instead of from a separate baker.
This way you will save on extra delivery and set up costs. As your caterer is already going to be paid for organizing your wedding meal, they may be more likely to offer you a discounted rate on wedding cakes, as opposed to other bakers.

2) Order from a Home Business: Ordering a wedding cake from someone who works from home is another great way to cut costs on the cake. Those who have a home business have lesser overheads and business costs, which mean that the cost of the cake will also be cheaper.

3) Serving Other Desserts: Cake cutting is usually done at the end of most wedding receptions. Serve some more desserts with the meal that are cheaper than the wedding cake. This way, you will need to order lesser cake and can thus cut costs.

4) Have Two Cakes: Order a smaller, but fancy and elaborate wedding cake, which your guests will see and which will be cut. Order another similar sheet cake that will be cut in the kitchen and served to the guests.
Since the sheet cake will not be cut in front of your guests, none will be the wiser, and you will end up saving a great deal of money on your wedding cake.

Having a friend bake your wedding cake, decorating the cake yourself, using fresh flowers instead of sugar flowers, are all more ways to cut your wedding cake costs.
