oh, I LOVE this idea!!
For pulling it all together, start with your base and work your way up. You base is your tables and lighting. Pick a linen color, next add your centerpiece or candles (or both) then add you accents like your favor boxes or little sparklies around the bottom of the vase. Then, add a few details like a pumpkin coach on the bar
lots of vines and sparkle
or crystal trees on the head table.for my wedding, I made crystal trees (www.crystalier.com) some sticks, spray paint them (I did silver) and hand crystal drops or strands off of them. Look up chandelier parts for the best prices. You can get some gauzy see-through white fabric and drape it all crazily over the gift table so it falls and puddles down to the floor. You can hang the fairy lights on the buffet table, head table, the bar, etc. Over the cake table, you can put an archway and hang ivy, lights and little fairies from clear string. floating candles with river stones in the bottom are very “enchanted forest” to me. For my wedding, I made caramel apples (just as an extra thing) and used 8 inch long real sticks instead of the cheap popsicle sticks. It looked REALLY cool!! Your centerpieces should reflect your colors and theme. If you’re on a budget, dont be afraid to use large blooms and extra greenry for high impact color. I love these:

Good luck, it sounds stunning!!!

i’m kinda doing the same theme as you are. my wedding is april 25th.
for centerpieces i’m doing manzanita branches with hanging orchids, crystals, hanging votives, etc
my location is a little castle and we’re having our reception right outside the castle. YOu can name your tables different fairy tale kingdoms or anything that has to do w/ fairy tales. (instead of table numbers)
Of course tons of candles and romantic style florals.
For invitations your can do pocket fold invitations with branches theme and maybe fireflies and use a few rhine stones here and there immitating fireflies.
As far as your gowns go, i like #3.
Good luck! and have fun with it!

I think that is a fabulous idea. Here are some other decorating ideas:

white Christmas light
bring branches and the outdoors inside
butterflies and dragonflies
bubbles
something to float around like cottonwood (although some people are allergic, so bubbles might be better.

Watch the newest Peter Pan movie, great movie and set.
Hit the library and look for books on fairy crafts etc.
Find ways to do things without breaking your budget or destoying what should be a wonderful begining.
Above all remember, this is one event and though details play a role, they also will destroy you if you get carried away.

my only suggestion is to go with the first link on your gown, its so fairy tale princess like and its beautiful

Edit: you could also get some very ornate and elegant looking white sparkly wings to go with your dress as if your a fairy princess. that would be a wedding everyone would remember
