2012 Wedding Trend: Snow White Inspired Weddings

This year a very popular trend in wedding dresses is a Snow White inspired dress. You will see many brides choosing a beautiful floor length gown with a fitted bodice. The bodice may have a variety of styles from a sleeveless sweetheart neckline to an off the shoulder sleeve. Of course, white will be the color of this breathtaking fairytale dress.

The make-up for the bridal party will be simple. Tanning will not be a major concern if the bride wants to look like Snow. Snow White is known for her beautiful white milky skin, as white as snow. But of course the most memorable of her looks are those beautiful full red lips. The bride's eye make-up should look clean and make her eyes look big and bright like Snow White. The bridal party should wear make-up that is natural and shouldn't wear red lipstick. Red lips should be reserved for the bride!

Apples play an important part in the fairytale. Red, green and yellow apples make beautiful decorations that will help set the romantic mood for your wedding reception. Apple themed party favors would be a great way to tie in the Snow White theme to your wedding. There are some really awesome chocolate dipped candied apples that look like bride and grooms that you can purchase thru the internet. There are also some beautiful bouquets that the bridal party can carry that incorporate apples into them. Instead of the flower girls throwing petals they could carry a beautiful basket of apples down the isle.

Who could forget the magic mirror Snow's wicked stepmother speaks to? A beautifully engraved silver hand mirror or compact would be a memorable gift for your bridal party. It is practical and they will remember you ever time they use it.

The décor for a Snow White wedding may tend to be more of a natural woodsy whimsical feel. A beautiful way to bring the outdoors in is to fill clear glass vases with branches and hang candles from the branches to make stunning centerpieces. Check out Marilyn's Keepsakes Blog for a beautiful photograph. A birch-wedding arch covered in flowers in your wedding colors would be stunning, check out the Nettleton Hollow blog for inspiration.

Having the bride arrive or the bride and groom leave in a horse drawn carriage would also give this wedding more of a fairytale feeling.

If you want to really delve yourself into the whole Snow White theme you could give each of your tables names of the characters or animals scene in the movie and decorate them accordingly. For example, the head table could be Snow White and Prince Charming's Table. You can display a seating chart that will tell each guest which characters table they will be sitting at.  is a Snow White inspired

The Things Kids Do In Weddings...

Ok so it has been a very busy couple of weeks for me and the fam so I haven't been scrapbooking much. I'll have a few things on ebay later this week. My husbands sister just got married over the weekend. We did the wedding maps, candy boxes and programs...I'll post pics later. We all crashed hard come Sunday when it was all over and unfortunately we all were sick too but that's ok it really didn't hit us until late Saturday night when all the festivities were over so I was thankful. We had the most awesome time we have all had in a long time. My girls were flower girls along with 2 other adorable girls. The oldest flower girl was the most precious, she acted like the big sister to all the flower girls. She helped all the other little girls and played with them. My girls had such a blast. Friday was the rehearsal and dinner. They rehearsed the ceremony twice. The first time everything went great but on the second take, my youngest, Lilly, decided to be stubborn and didn't want to walk down the aisle with her sister. All the other flower girls went but Lilly refused. She wanted to walk with Aunt Jen (the bride) and Grandpa. And of course, she got what she wanted. It was adorable but I worried that she would do the same thing on wedding day. And of course, she did. But the maid of honor, Aunt Mo, quick on her feet, went down the aisle and walked Lilly up. You never know what kids are going to do in a wedding. It was cute but I wish she would have walked with sissy like the first time in rehearsals. That would have been some cute pics of them two throwing petals together. Anywho, at the rehearsal dinner all the flower girls got gifts for being a part of the wedding. I just thought these were the best gifts I have seen and wanted to share. They are bride barbie dolls! They have a tiara and veil, bouquet of flowers, and a ring that lights up. Isn't this the greatest gift for a flower girl! The girls played with them all night and still play with them every day since. My sister-in-law aways finds the most perfect gifts. It amazes me. She should be a professional shopper for people.

If you have a funny or not so funny story about what you have seen kids do at weddings, I'd love for you to share. Post a comment and tell your story.
