Fairytale Weddings: Escape To Camelot Wedding Theme

Do you love fairytale weddings? Then gather your family and friends around for a Camelot wedding set in the enchanting court of King Arthur and Guinivere, along with the gallant knights of the round table.

Wedding Colors To Use:

Since we're dealing with a "royal" wedding, choose colors that are deep and rich, such as emerald green, royal blue, deep red, burgundy, rich purples, gold and silver.

Wedding Invitations For King Arthur's Court:

• Rolled scrolls on parchment-type paper. Fold in thirds and seal with a wax seal.
  
  
• Research your ancestry and create a heraldic shield to be printed on your invitations...or just make up a "family crest" to use.
  
  
• Use calligraphy fonts on your invitations, wedding programs, and other wedding stationary.

• Tall, free-standing, iron-look torches or candle holders. Place along the aisle, ends of tables or along the walls. Just be sure they are not near anything flammable or can't be accidentally knocked over. You may also opt to use fake torches as well.
  
  
• Hang flower or ivy garland in front of tables, across doorways and around poles.
  
  
• If you can buy, rent or borrow some old looking tapestries, hang them from the walls.
  
  
• Create colorful pennants from cheap material and hang from the ceiling or along walls.
  
  

• If possible, use bare wood, long plank tables (thing of a bar). If you can't use these, cover tables in white cloth and use a runner down the table in your wedding colors. Trim the runner with gold edging, point the ends and add gold tassels.
  
  
• Use a very large, round table for the head table where the bride, groom and bridal party will sit. This is your King Arthur's Round Table.
  
  
• Have pewter or silver goblets for the bride and groom to drink from.
  
  
• Iron pillar candle holders make good centerpieces. Encircle the base with ivy and myrtle.
