Fairy Tale Weddings And Low Budget Planning
If you've imagined that planning low budget fairy tale weddings as something that can only be done in storybooks but never in real life; walking down the aisle of a castle in a billowy Cinderella wedding gown while your knight in shining armor rides in to take you as his bride, this enchantment and magic is what myths and legends are made of, but certainly not something that you can accomplish without the bank account of the king and queen.
Quite untrue - fairy tale weddings are produced and designed from your dreams and you can bring your own fairy tale to life whether you've dreamed of an elaborate celebration at the most exquisite venue you can find or you're dreaming of a romantic and intimate gathering.
Your fairy tale wedding is what you dream of; you are the writer and director of your dream and you can bring your fairy tale to life even with the court jester's checkbook.
When helping my daughter plan the fairy tale wedding she'd always dreamed of - from her wedding dress through the reception and everything in between - I found that it can all be accomplished on what some would consider the pauper's bank account. We bought the wedding dress she'd always seen herself wearing, they had a total of ten attendants, a live band and caterer. And we spent less than $4,000 total from start to finish.
And my husband and I had our fairy tale wedding as a wedding anniversary celebration complete with my dream wedding dress, elegant attendants' dresses and groomsmen's suits; we had a DJ, a caterer and a beautiful wedding anniversary cake in a lovely social hall. Our low budget fairy tale wedding totaled less than $6,000.
Planning fairy tale weddings on a low budget is easier than you may think; the key to achieving your dreams is in early planning. The earlier you start your blueprint, the easier it is to execute it and make your dreams come true.
The earlier you get started on your plans, the less money you'll spend to have the fairy tale wedding of your dreams. For instance, if you give yourself several months to a year, you'll have plenty of time to shop around and find the best deals on wedding venues, wedding invitations, your dream wedding dress, caterers and even low budget wedding favors.
Now assuming you have a reasonable guest list not in the hundreds, because be mindful of the fact that you must feed your guests at the reception, you can spend remarkably less by finding low budget ideas for catering, like having your friends and family help supply the food or by selecting an elegant hors d'oeuvres menu with drinks instead of a full dinner menu. And if you start early enough and get your attendants to help, you can make your own festive and low budget table centerpieces, decorations, favors, and even bouquets instead of spending the requisite fortune on retail items.
Designing low budget weddings out of even the most fantastic of dreams honestly can be made a reality and by following your blueprint, you can bring your fairy tale to life even with the court jester's checkbook.

What is the signifigance of the number 3 in fairy tales?
Does anyone know of any good websites to find out why the number 3 is a reoccuring theme in fairy tales?
Intriguing question!
Found an extract from Wikepedia, and I'm giving my own thoughts after:
Wikipedia:
Morphology
Vladimir Propp specifically studied a collection of Russian fairy tales, but his analysis has been found useful for the tales of other countries.
Having criticized Aarne-Thompson type analysis for ignoring what motifs did in stories, he analyzed the tales for the function each character and action fulfilled and concluded that a tale was composed of thirty-one elements and eight character types. While the elements were not all required for all tales, when they appeared, they did so in an invariant order — except that each individual element might be negated twice, so that it would appear three times, as when, in Brother and Sister, the brother resists drinking from enchanted streams twice, so that it is the third that enchants him.
One such element is the donor who gives the hero magical assistance, often after testing him, and this function can be independent of any appearance of the donor. In The Golden Bird, the talking fox tests the hero by warning him against entering an inn and, after he succeeds, helps him find the object of his quest; in Cinderella, the fairy godmother gives Cinderella the dresses she needs to attend the ball; in The Red Ettin, the role is split into the mother, who offers the hero the whole of a journey cake with her curse, or half with her blessing, and when he takes the half, a fairy who gives him advice; in The Giant Who Had No Heart in His Body, three separate animals pledge the hero their aid in return for his aid. Other fairy tales, such as The Story of a Boy Who Went Forth to Learn Fear, do not feature the donor.
Analogies have been drawn between this and the analysis of myths into the Hero's journey.
This analysis has been criticized for ignoring tone, mood, characters, and, indeed, anything at all that differentiates one fairy tale from another..
Then here's my own thoughts:
Most prose hinges on the basic theme of 3s. Example: Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl. It is the essential breakdown of any conflict, and conflict is the ubiquitous constant in fiction. You become aware of a situation, you confront and struggle with the situation, and you either overcome or are defeated by the conflict.
With fairy tales, I think it goes a bit further. You're right. I hadn't really thought about it before, but the 3 little pigs, the 3 bears, you have to stop and wonder.
I can only suggest that perhaps the general moralistic nature of fairy tales is mapped (intentionally or not) to Freud's division of our minds. (I admit I was tempted to go with the holy trinity, but I can't really defend that stance).
The 3 parts of the mind are the id (uncontrollable animal instinct, survival, the child), the superego (parental control and morals, what is taught to us by society and parents), and the ego(connection to reality, our instinctual understanding of control-a balance).
You can equate these 3 components to the 3s in the fairy tales where they are represented by characters. However, when the 3s are in the story line, I think it goes back to the ordinary prose structure.
Hope this helps.
