Heavenly wedding ideas

Have you ever been told you were an angel? You have probably heard it many times, from parents, or other relatives. So when it comes to the most special day, your wedding day, why not be an angel and have a truly heavenly wedding. 

An angel themed wedding is perfect for celebrating the joyous union between you and your partner. There are many ways to bring in the angelic theme into your wedding. It all starts with the church, nothing is more important for your angel themed wedding than the perfect church. Make sure to pick a church you feel is heavenly, whether it has vaulted ceilings, in a cathedral, or a small local chapel, whatever makes you feel truly peaceful. Decorate the church with angel themed wedding decorations, garlands of white and silver for the pews held by small winged cherubs. 

To become an angelic bride, the center piece of your angel themed wedding, choose a wedding gown that fits with your image of an angel. This could be a simple white slip dress with a longer gauzy over dress, or it could be a ball gown of silver and white, or even white and gold, or it could quite possibly be an elaborate dress with full sleeves that emulate wings as you hold your arms out. Whatever style of dress you pick for your angel themed wedding be sure it is comfortable so that you can feel like you are walking on clouds. 

Choose a wedding bouquet of white roses with baby’s breath and small star shaped flowers or have a contrast of deep or dark colors. Have your veil made of gauze or sheer plain fabric or one with a bit of glitter to create a shimmer around you. Nothing is more romantic and heavenly for an angel themed wedding than a ceremony by candlelight. 

To carry though with your angelically themed wedding, dress the flower girl in a white robe with a small pair of wings and a halo. Perhaps a complementary look might be white, silver or gold empire waist style dresses for bridesmaids. 

When setting up the reception for your angel themed wedding, follow through by bringing a bit of heaven to your guests. First is to create an angelic atmosphere. Fill the ceiling of the reception room with small white lights to simulate starlight, create centerpieces for each table with a candle held by an angel sitting in a pure white cloud. White plates trimmed in gold, as well as crystal wine glasses, clothing napkins held by winged napkin rings. 

Make angels dance around the room by placing candles into containers with angel’s cut from them. Paper bags work really well for this or a novelty store might carry frosted glass containers. You could also use simple votive holders and cut an outline of an angel attach to the outside of the votive holder. Create various outlines to fill the room with a heavenly accompaniment to your angel themed wedding.  Fill the room with classical harp music or soft cascading melodies and fill one with a sense of peace. If you can afford it hire a chorus to dress the part of angels and sing for the receptions entertainment. 

If dinner is being served you can carry your angel themed wedding over to the menu, and deserts. Have the wedding cake for your angel themed wedding be something that invokes the thought of heaven, angel food cake, or a delectable rich chocolate, top it off with a pair of radiantly smiling angels.

No angel themed wedding is complete without having angelic wedding favors for all your guests, and there are a variety of things to choose from. For home made items you can choose hand painted and decorated angel ornaments, fill in the date, and names of the bride and groom for a lasting reminder. Make heavenly chocolates and candy in the shapes of angels, stars and halos, then wrap them up in white or clear gift bags decorate with stars and silver and gold ribbon. Or you could give them hand made soap, most craft stores sell melt and pour soaps that you can even add your own scents. Choose some with angel or heaven in the name to go with your angel themed wedding. 

If store bought gifts are more your style choose a customizable angel figurine with the bride and grooms name and the date engraved or painted on, or offer your guests a heavenly trip to a day spa for a facial or a massage, if your pocket book can handle it. 

No matter if your angel themed wedding is fit for a king, or full of hand made charm you’re sure to feel like your special day was truly heavenly and the feeling of peace, love and joy that filled your heart will stick with you through your divinely ordained match.
