Fairy tale theme

A fairy tale themed party can be a truly magical experience. Fairy tale themes have grown in popularity for sweet sixteen’s and adult parties because of movies, musicals and TV shows that create new spins on old fairy tales. Fans of Once Upon a Time, Wicked, Snow White and the Huntsman and Into the Woods know that bringing fairy tales to life can be spectacular and so much fun.

Creating a fairy tale experience requires representing the elements of a fairy tale story: there is always a main character, a hero or love interest, a villain, and a kingdom or village. Greenery like trees, ferns, plants, and vines can be a great way to incorporate the woods, which most fairy tales always feature, and break up a large ballroom or hall into more manageable party spaces.

Breaking up a large space into smaller spaces is a great way to create areas for guests to mingle and interact with different sections of your event – food, dancing, presents, arrivals, etc. Haze or fog machines can create the feeling of mystery and the unknown.  

You can also white Christmas lights to create a fairy tale background for a head table area or along the walls of your party.

Castle features, or a gate effect in the entryway can also be a great way to decorate the space. Theme lighting can immediately create the fairy tale atmosphere that you’re looking for, though, and if dancing is the main feature of the event, other decorations will be overlooked when the main lights are turned down for the party.

The more creative and off-the-wall ideas you can come up with, the more memorable the party will be for your guests!
