Fit for a Princess

If this was your theme, what would your dress look like? How would you wear your hair? What flowers and centerpieces would you use? Any special touches?

Ooooh! I'd wear a ball gown or perhaps a Disney gown. And of course I'd wear a tiara and have a horse-drawn carriage.

When I think of a princess theme, I think light colors, like periwinkle, light pink and lavendar, with touches of either silver or gold. Traditionally shaped ballgown or A-line dress with silver accents or beading, with a highly structured updo. Delicate tiara and a veil with a slight sparkle.

The runner would be periwinkle, and the flowers would be dainty and beautiful. For favors, the little girls would get fairy princess sets, the little boys would get a handsome prince set, and the adults would get something glittery, maybe a beautiful christmas ornament (if it were a Christian wedding) or something like a castle shaped cookie or tiara/crown-shaped cookies.

For table settings, I'd do periwinkle or lavendar table cloths, and the centerpiece either something like Cinderella's carriage in white, with frosted votive candles with tealights in them around it, or something along the lines of "could be seen in a castle". On a rectangular table, three short bouquests of pink flowers and lavendar flowers, with silver ribbon woven between the flowers, and a silver runner. On a circular table, one slightly larger bouquet, with a silver square underneath, and tealights in small hurricane vases in a circle around the bouquet.

The cake would be traditional white on white, but with some silver accenting, perhaps picking up the detailing on the brides dress. The topper could be an actual disney topper, with the prince proposing to Cinderella (I saw one like this in the bakery in my neighborhood) or something like a tiara/crown encircling the top.

Can you tell this sparked my imagination?

And if my internet connection would stop hiccuping I could post more so I am afraid the rest of my pictures will have to wait

Wow, Jess, quite a few of those things sound like what I'm having - A-line gown with silver accents/beading, highly structured updo, delicate tiara and a veil with a slight sparkle; guests receiving glittery Christmas ornaments; cake would be traditional white on white, but with some silver accenting, perhaps picking up the detailing on the brides dress. Am I having a princess wedding and didn't know it?
