Disney Castle Wedding Reception Ideas
A Disney castle wedding reception is a fairytale come true for a bride who truly wants to feel like a princess on her wedding day. Cinderella is the ultimate Disney princess to draw inspiration from for a fairytale event.
Cinderella Castle
The Cinderella Castle lends itself to many ideas for a Disney castle wedding reception. If your budget allows, you can rent a real castle just for your wedding day. For example, if you live in the New York metro area, check out the Castle on the Hudson in Tarrytown, or the Oheka Castle in Huntington. Otherwise, you can create your own castle with appropriate decorations. Hang a castle background mural and related background props in your reception venue. The Once Upon a Dream Decorating Kit includes a mural, a freestanding cardboard horse and carriage, and freestanding cardboard columns. As of February 2010, the kit sells or just under $600.
Cinderella Pumpkin Coach
There are many ways you can incorporate Cinderella's pumpkin coach into your wedding reception. You can arrive at the wedding reception in a horse-drawn carriage similar to the Cinderella pumpkin coach by renting a carriage pulled by white horses. Use your creativity and extend the theme into the reception venue. Incorporate flowers into castle centerpieces. As for your cake, instead of a traditional tiered wedding cake, speak to your baker about having the entire cake shaped like Cinderella's castle. Or, you can stick with a traditional cake and place a Cinderella castle cake topper on top. Thank your guests with enchanted carriage favor boxes or Cinderella coach design candle favors.
Cinderella Glass Slipper
Cinderella's glass slipper is the quintessential symbol of the Cinderella princess story, and you can use it to create your own fairytale Disney castle reception. Order a white wedding cake shaped like the glass slipper or use a Cinderella glass slipper cake toppers. Fill large clear plastic Cinderella slippers with flowers to use as table centerpieces. Have guests sign their names and leave comments in a Cinderella glass slipper-shaped guest book.
