As many wedding planners or bridal experts will tell you, the unique wedding dress sets the theme for the entire wedding. This is no exception when planning a Cinderella (often referred to as a fairytale or “happily ever after” theme) wedding.
A ballgown is a must. Lots of flounce, bustle, and sparkle will make the dress fit for a princess. Rhinestones, crystals, beadwork, and sequins will make your inexpensive wedding gown stand out. If you find a dress that is perfect, but comes up short in the skirt, add a petticoat.
Getting glass slippers may be difficult (not to mention, uncomfortable), but take advantage of the new clear styles of wedding shoes that will give the same effect.
Have a wedding hairstyle that involves an updo, preferably with a bun or large curls to match your informal bridal gown. Add a crystal or rhinestone bridal tiara to complete your fairytale look.
Of course, the groom’s attire is not to be ignored either. Choose a tuxedo with tails, in traditional black or white. Consider adding a braided gold accent around one of the sleeves to really make him stand out.
