What about a flowerpot of ivy, with fairies on sticks placed into it, and maybe fairy lights around the leaves?
Something like this: http://www.butterfly.../cat_bugs01.jpg

OOOOh, i soooo love this theme!!!! Id def have fairy lights, green maybe? Or what about a mini tree with fairy lights and then hang mini bottles of fairy dust on. Use these as wishes?

I make them for my daughters friends and always add a key and little note.

Also my mum makes these

http://s705.photobuc...nt=HPIM2968.jpg she can make them in any wording you like. Might be something you can use at your reception x

A few years ago I did a cake decorating course and we made sugar fairies from this book click. You could consider asking a model maker to make something similar for you and have them sitting in little moss filled flowerpots.

Maybe you could have twigs eg curly hazel with fairy lights. You could make it into a wishing tree by placing leaf shaped cards with ribbons, on each table. The guests can write their messages and good wishes on them during the meal and they then tie them onto the tree. You can then mount them in an album later. These can also double up as place cards!

Also you could have some little cut outs of fairies hidden around the room in the style of the Cottingley faries.

I've seen Bijou Woo have some beautiful Forest Faries invitations too http://www.bijouwoo....forest_day.html

Maybe you could incorporate something from A Midsummer's Night Dream into the theme - what about the prose "I know a bank . . . . " set as calligraphy which your guests can sign around the edge and then have framed to keep.

this is what we are doing. Will be selling the wooden leaf stencils after the wedding as well if you are interested as we will be maing the cards ourselves.

What about these fairy doors? here. Look into fairyfolklore see what you can see there.

Fairies can be associated with rocks too....not sure how to beautiful a rock for a table setting but it would definately fit 'quirky' lol

Past Times had some lovely flower fairy ornaments in and I think they were on sale. They are actually garden ornaments but did look really nice.

Have a look at these hun,

My mum makes these beautiful signs, which you could maybe dot about the reception? Also she makes lovely collectable type fairys/dolls. You could have one made that looks like you in your wedding dress as a reminder of the big day (shes gonna make me one i hope). let me know if you want any pics (love your theme btw and your dress sounds delish)! x

I think something like this might go really well with your theme.

[Showtunesgirl]

I have a boxful of silk ivy that we never used to decorate our venue. PM me if you would like to buy it!

[MrsMcGleem]

Just thought I'd BUMP this as this is close to my theme too. Ours in Enchanted Garden. Any ideas welcome!

Hi,
This may be a bit of a mad one, but could you possibly use flowers fairies (the ones they brought out in the 80's)........ I don't even know if they still made them anymore. You may be able to get hold of them on ebay.
You could possibly place them into a goldfish bowl along with moss, stones etc to create a bottom of the garden effect. Counrty Baskets in Astley could be a good place to visit but you do have to have a membership card.
I'm getting married in July at Kilhey Court and have chosen 'Over the Rainbow' as my theme. To be perfectly honest I really did struggle at the beginning to come up with ideas. Once I got started though I couldn't stop and have gone a bit mad lol!!! I've bought so much stuff off the net and the majority of it has come from America. Check the postage out though as it varies greatly from site to site.
Good luck darl.

Hello all,
Sounds so fairytale, you must be having fun organising.

I have something on my site which you may find helpful. I make wedding favours and have designed a Favour Cake, made up of small cake slices with angel fairies on top. The fairies can be used to decorate other shapes of individual boxes aswell or if you go with the flowerpot idea or something like that for the table centres, I can sell you the fairies on their own.

Please feel free to take a look and contact me if you wish to discuss anything further.

Happy organising (and enjoy every minute!)
