Angel Theme Wedding

When planning an angel theme wedding, think fluffy white feathers, cute cherubs, Grecian columns and urns, and of course, angel wings to use as a decorating scheme.

Colors should be soft and dreamy, like a light dusty rose and sage green combination with gold accents. A soft baby blue with lilac and white accents is also a nice color mixture.

Wedding Attire Suggestions

A nice choice for a wedding gown for a celestial theme such as this would be either a "fairy tale" cut (think Cinderella) or a slim fitting silk gown. An addition of malibou fur lining the hem and cuffs of a dress would give the illusion of fluffy cloud softness.

Pick dress fabrics that are soft and flowing. You may wish to have your bridesmaids dressed in white or gold colored chiffon gowns - either in a slim-fit cut or billowing below the waist. Consider hair pieces such as a thin gold band (like a halo) or sun-symbol studded combs. Have them carry streaming ribbon star shaped wands instead of flower bouquets.

A Favor Gift From The Angels

Give your guests a little piece of heaven in the form of angel theme wedding favors. Here are a few suggestions:

• Buy those angel beaded craft kits that are sold at Christmas time and make up enough angel ornaments for each of your guests. Buy extra wire and beads so you can continue making your own following the directions included, without having to buy more kits.
• Make or buy white or dark chocolate cherubs using chocolate molds. Wrap in plastic and place in favor boxes.
• Give lovely angel shaped sugar cookies as favors. Not into cookies? Try angel lollipops instead!
• Stock up on a variety of angel ornaments at Christmas time.
• Nice smelling angel shaped miniature soaps make a lovely favor gift.

Heavenly Decor

For your angel theme wedding decorations look at items that represent a Greco-Roman look, with tall columns to hold flower arrangements, ivy, cherub statues, etc. Fluffy feathers work well to highlight centerpieces and create the illusion of soft clouds. Chiffon and other billowy fabrics should be used to enhance the decor. Here are additional ideas:

• String white miniature lights around doorways, and windows. Place several bare-branch "trees" in corners and add white, twinkling miniature lights. Hang white angel cutouts or small angel ornaments from the branches.
• Drape tulle or chiffon in front of tables (you can also add white lights behind the material as well).
• Set up a few Greco-Roman columns (near doorways, at the bar, beside food tables) and use Grecian urns to hold your floral arrangements. Wind ivy around the columns.
• Place angel or fairy wings (used for children's costumes) over doorways, on the front of fabric table swags, and other such areas to pull the angel theme wedding decor together.
• Place trimmed quilt batting in the center of each table. Fluff up the batting to resemble "clouds". Place a round mirror in the center of the batting (you may wish to cut a circle in the center so the mirror rests flat on the table.) Sprinkle some gold glitter over the batting and the mirror. Use a tall pillar candle enclosed in a glass jar in the center.
• Pillar candles always make nice centerpieces. Add embellishments such as a wide, gold ribbon bow around the base, and angel or cherub stickers around the center of the candle. Another suggestion is to set the candle on a base of white boa feathers, sprinkled with a little bit of gold sparkle dust.
