I attended the most fabulous storybook wedding and reception last week end. I’ve never been to one of those types of weddings before, but I was really impressed. Even their invitations looked like that of a royal family. They were absolutely exquisite. When I read this invitation, I couldn’t wait to RSVP. This was a wedding I was determined to attend. Not only is the bride and groom close friends of ours, but I was anxious to see just what a storybook fairy wedding was all about.
Well, it was about the most fantastic and beautiful ceremony I’ve ever seen. I wish I could go back in time and redo my wedding and reception, because it would definitely be in a storybook motif. It was so romantic and elegant that you really felt like you were in the middle of a storybook love affair, like cinderella and prince charming. Everything at the ceremony was beautiful and the flower arrangements were so elegant, with red and white roses everywhere. The bride was simply beautiful and her gown was of pure white with pearls and silver sequins woven into the material. She had a very long train which was outshined only by her exquisite tiara. She was definitely a vision of lovliness. The groom looked very handsome in his tux, very regal as he stood at the altar watching his bride walk towards him. It was really quite a breath taking scene.
The reception seemed just as impressive as the ceremony had been. With table settings of crystal champagne flutes, wine glasses and these adorable little coach place card holders with each of our names written out in a stylish manner. There were also exquisite little storybook favor boxes as packaging for our lovely fairy tale favors. The centerpieces were fantastic too, with red and white roses, just like in the ceremony. There were also candles in very fancy candle holders on all of the tables and the wedding table itself, for the bride and groom was really unbelievable. The wedding cake was a tower of absolute gorgeous, with a little castle cake topper to add to it’s perfection.
This is definitely an experience I will never forget. One of the most beautiful weddings I’ve ever seen in my life. It really did feel like it was right out of a book. I thought maybe she hired a wedding planner to plan such an elaborate event as this, but I found out that she did this all herself. She did a super job in setting all of this up. She took care of every detail, she didn’t miss a thing. I’ve never seen a wedding and reception go so perfectly well as this one did, and to handle everything from invitations to the adorable fairy wedding favors was just unbelievable.
The part that really amazed me was actually at the end of the wedding, when the bride and groom were leaving the church. We were all given silk rose petals to throw at the couples feet as they fled down the aisle and follow them outside. But instead of getting into a long limosine, the happy couple had a horse drawn carriage awaiting them with a driver all dressed up in some fancy old fashioned clothes that looked like they came from the wardrobe of a showing of Camelot. It was such an awesome scene, and I’ve got all the pictures to prove it.
I wonder if we have a renewal wedding for our anniversary if I could get her to plan my storybook wedding. Because this time, I’d really like to do it up in style.
