Wedding planning comes with endless decisions to make. What dress(es) to wear, guests to invite, food to serve, the list goes on! But the first step, and arguably the most fun part of the planning process, is choosing a wedding theme.

The foundation of any wedding, the theme sets the tone for the overall aesthetic of the day and influences every decision after, from the venue and decor to the bridesmaid dresses and guest dress code. If a gasping-inducing theme straight out of a fantasy world sounds like your dream wedding, you'll find some inspiration from these eight fairytale wedding theme ideas fit for a princess:

#1 Beauty and the Beast-Themed Wedding

A tale as old as time, Disney's Beauty and the Beast is a classic that resonates for its themes of love and inner beauty. It's also all the more romantic for the grand castle setting and rose motifs. All this makes the film a brilliant inspiration for a wedding theme.

Wedding planning company DreamPark婚礼企划 has created a luxurious and almost gothic take on the Beast's castle with opulent European-style decor, candles and an abundance of red roses.

Multi-coloured flowers, mismatched chairs and installations of playing cards, rabbits and giant key holes create a wonderful quirky look that's still romantic and sophisticated.

P.S.: another couple in China also had a Winnie-the-Pooh-themed wedding, albeit a more pared back one.

Potterhead lovers, consider your wedding theme sorted! And for those with non-potterhead partners, it's time to slyther-in this Harry Potter-inspired theme to your wedding discussions.

The wedding venue is brimming with details that nod to the wizarding world. The floral arrangement brings to mind the Forbidden Forest, and there are even recreations of Platform 9 3/4 and the Daily Prophet. Completing this magical wedding is a backdrop of Hogwarts and even a silhouette of a wizard and witch flying on a broom.
