And They Lived Happily Ever After ...
To them, anything short of the full royal regalia, and the coach and carriage and castle, amounts to a dream deferred. And nobody settles for a dream deferred on their wedding day!
Fact is, for some of us, only a fairytale wedding can do justice to a lifetime of dreaming about that handsome prince on a white horse, and the pomp and circumstance that's only natural when he finally shows up!
Finessing Your Fairytale Wedding
The fairytale wedding has certain key components. For one thing, it involves drama. The small things ... and the big gestures ... count for a lot.Both the bride and her visual echo, the cake, need to be a thing of wonder. This is not the bride who will pick up a body-hugging satin sheath, pop a gardenia in the hair and be done with it.

Donning the Dream Gown
What the bride wears is of paramount importance. More than any other factor, it's her dress that makes the dream. And 99 times out of a hundred, that dress is going to be a ball gown.It might have countless layers of tulle, it might have waterfalls of ruched satin, but it's going to be a substantial, imposing gown (even if it's not going to 'trump' the gown Melania Knauss wore, at 50 pounds and 100 yards of pure silk).
For dramatic fairytale gowns, take a gander at St. Pucchi, Alfred Angelo, Eve Of Milady or Lazaro.
As for brides who love Disney (as you all doubtless know), you can now buy mid-priced gowns designed after -- and named for -- Disney's signature princesses: Ariel, Snow White, Jasmine and more.

The Details
The fairytale bride's hair has to outshine all the other contenders at the royal ball (wicked stepsisters especially), so she's going to have a structured 'do for this day of all days.You'll see ringlets, up-dos or half-up half-downs, possibly temporary extensions (they're not just for Jessica!) to pump up the volume, lots of shine ... and often, a tiara.
Depending on how modern a look she's going for, you might also see trés demure elbow-length gloves ... or even cap or long sleeves, reminiscent of princesses of yore. More modern princess brides typically go for the clean look of strapless.

The Flowers
A rose is much more than a rose, especially at fairytale weddings. And simply put: no other blooms will do.The princess bride properly walks a carpet of rose petals as she glides down the aisle. A shower of rose petals grace the banquet and cake tables, and she's typically holding a tight nosegay of love's favorite flower in royal red (for romance), or almost as often, pink or white.

Drama Queen
The fairytale bride needs to focus on gestures, since this theme is half theater. Can she make a grand entrance down a winding staircase? Can she stand from a balcony to toss the bouquet?Can a gaggle of adorable children hold up the ends of her cathedral-length veil? Is there lighting ... and music ... available to put her in the spotlight when she steps into view? How about a harpist to add some magic to processions, or sparklers to add fireworks to the recessional?
Is there a gorgeous vintage car or even a horse and carriage to sweep her away at the end of the night? Can the ring bearer walk up the aisle with a glass shoe on a satin pillow? And perhaps most important: can she and her prince glide across the dance floor in a royal waltz for two?
