Do it the Jordan and Peter Way!

Who could forget the lavish Jordan and Peter Andre Affair? If you want a truly unique Wedding, make like the celebrity (ex)couple and have the ultimate over the top, uber-meringue dressed, sparkle scattered, cinderella-styled wedding of your dreams...Sorry guys, this is possibly one for the ladies!

It might be not every little girl’s dream to have a fairytale wedding, but it’s certainly been at he back of some women’s minds for years before they even have a groom in mind. Weddings aren’t always about the other half you see. For many, weddings are really about looking fabulous and having the biggest, joyous, most spectacular celebration of your life. No one gets two larger than life weddings in a life time (except the Elzabeth Hurleys of this world of course). If you’re planning on a fairy tale wedding, you’ve got to think big, you’ve got to think Disney, you’ve got to think Technicolor.

The bride’s dress should be something you’d expect to see on a cartoon princess (think Amy Adams in Enchanted). The bodice should be jewel encrusted and there should be at least ten layers of petticoats and a crinoline- If you can easily get in and out of a car, then it won’t do. The fairytale wedding is all about hammering home those male/female stereotypes. You want to look pretty as a picture, and your groom should be stud-like. Get him to hit the gym before the big day, and he absolutely must do the full white tie, waistcoat,  and tails look. He’s your prince after all.

Consider a gold/silver colour theme. Have white tablecloths at the reception scattered with sparkly confetti, and perhaps think about laying roses on each place setting. Another idea is to choose your favourite fairytale and model your wedding around that. If it’s Cinderella, you might want to have invitations with a single shoe on them, or a pumpkin carriage. The music could also be plucked from the film’s soundtrack. If it’s sleeping Beauty you prefer, you absolutely must have the music from Tchaikovsky’s ballet blasting out in the background. You could hire the odd spinning wheel, and dress your bridesmaids as the fairies who bestow wit, virtue, and beauty onto the princess, and if your parents are game, get them to play the King and Queen!

A perfect end to your fairytale wedding, would be a mass release of wedding lanterns. Of course, I would say that, but actually I can’t think of a more appropriate wedding theme where wish lanterns could have their moment of glory. They’re elegant, graceful, and full of the magic of fairytale…
