Planning a cinderella wedding
It's interesting:"In researching this speech, I’ve tried to find some dirt on Linda, but neither her brother nor her best friends could give me anything. As I'm sure you noticed it wasn’t a problem that I had with Paul. Linda is well liked by everyone, and I have never met anyone who has had anything but good things to say about her – which is wonderful for Paul, but a bit inconvenient for me at this precise moment. It means that I have to continue to shower her with platitudes. But seriously, Linda, you have had a huge positive impact on Paul, and we now speak of Paul ‘BL’ and ‘WL’ - ‘before Linda’ and ‘with Linda’."
Some brides have dreamed of having a fairy-tale wedding since they were little girls, and Cinderella has always been the most publicized princess. Brides may choose from Disney's version, Rogers and Hammerstein's musical rendition or updated movie versions of the beloved princess as they buy their gown and decorations, and select their music choices.
Wedding Apparel
It's your day to shine, so select a gown that makes you feel like a princess, be it a formal princess gown from Mary's Bridal or a Disney princess-inspired dress by designer Kirstie Kelly of Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings. If you do not like an exact princess gown, try to select a gown with a long train and a full skirt. Supplement the look with a jeweled tiara and a floor-length veil. Add elbow-length gloves and pearls around your neck for a classic look. Remember, Cinderella wears glass slippers, so try to find delicate sandals or glass shoes to wear for part of the day. To complete the princess look, wear your hair partially up in French twist, with curls piled on top of your head.
Bridesmaids should also wear floor-length gowns to match the formality of the event. Dress them in either colors of royalty such as rich purples and reds, or pale pinks and blues like Disney's princesses.
For a fair-tale look, grooms may consider wearing a white tux instead of a black one. He can keep it fairly simple, though if you want a more formal affair he can don a top hat and a cane.
Invitations and the Ceremony
When selecting your invitations, decide whether you want one of the Walt Disney Cinderella invitations, or an elegant castle invitation that symbolizes your happily ever after. Several invitation companies cater to both kinds, including Invitations by Dawn and the Party Block, which features an extensive Disney wedding invitation line.
If you can use secular music throughout the ceremony, then make your entrance to Prokofiev's "Cinderella Waltz." During musical interludes, play the instrumental versions of Disney's Cinderella's "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" and "So This Is Love," from Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings. You and your groom may walk down the aisle together to Rogers and Hammerstein's "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful," from their musical version.
Couples should ride from the ceremony to the reception in a horse and carriage versus a traditional limo.
The Reception
Hold the event at a grand ballroom or a private castle if you can. Use twinkle lights to accent the room and decorate the tables with fine white tablecloths, accented in gold and silver. Instead of bells to ring for a kiss, consider gifting each guest with a magic wand to wave and tap their glass with for the happy couple to kiss. Order tall, elaborate centerpieces with white roses, peonies and greenery. If you are hosting a fall wedding, hollow out some pumpkins and light cream votives inside.
This royal event demands the best cuisine, so opt for the best by ordering the finest champagne and beginning the event with butler-passed appetizers of coconut shrimp and Oysters Rockefeller. Serve your guests the best cuts of prime rib, fettuccine alfredo and wild mushrooms and wine sauce. Make your cake the piece de resistance with a castle-themed confection.
Get your guests moving by having your disc jockey play a mixture of Disney classics and other romance favorites from movies such as "Beauty and the Beast," "Ever After," "The Princess Bride," "Enchanted" and "The Princess Diaries." Have him play classic dance music as well, but keep the romance music princess-inspired.
