Start with the venue
Every fairytale begins with the perfect setting, and your wedding is no different. The venue creates the atmosphere for everything that follows. So if you’re searching for a unique wedding venue, you may want to have a look at castle-like buildings and grand manor houses that already have the architectural beauty associated with royal celebrations. After all, who doesn’t like sweeping staircases, formal gardens, and sparkling chandeliers that instantly create a sense of occasion without even needing elaborate decorations?
You can also research outdoor gardens and waterfront estates which tend to capture a similar fairytale feel, especially if you add floral arches and romantic lighting.
Choose a dress that’s made for a princess
Nothing says princess like a gown that fits the fairytale style perfectly. While finding the one can be an epic quest in its own right, it will make a huge difference to how your wedding will feel.
If you’re naturally drawn to regal silhouettes, it is worth looking into designers that have made a name for themselves through a princess style, such as Milla Nova, who’s a Ukrainian gown designer with a large catalog of regal and princess looks suitable for women of all sizes. They even have a plus-size collection that features structured bodices, dramatic trains, and intricate lace. The designs truly capture the timeless elegance of royal weddings, without forcing you to compromise on comfort.
Complete your look with regal details
Because the accessories you choose can truly elevate your bridal look from beautiful to unforgettable fairytale heroine, it’s important to be careful and choose small details that enhance the overall aesthetic, rather than overwhelm.
Hair accessories can play a big role here. A delicate crystal tiara or embellished hair comb instantly adds the princess touch without feeling overdone.
Similarly, timeless choices, such as pearl earrings and a necklace, can complement the romantic look with subtlety.
As for your hair and makeup, loose curls, soft Hollywood waves, or even polished low buns are excellent options for the day. Princess makeup is on the lighter side, opting for glowing skin, softly defined eyes, and rosy blush for an elegant and natural-looking finish. This look works well in photos and is also long-lasting, which ensures you will look your best throughout the day.
A fairytale wedding isn’t a collection of extravagant details. It needs thoughtful considerations to ensure that you can evoke the atmosphere with elegant and sophisticated touches. It’s one of those situations where less is definitely more.
