Everyone Loves a Royal Wedding

Do you remember where you were when those momentous one-of-a-kind special occasions happen! Of course you do! For me, I’ll never forget Princess Diana’s wedding! Though I was only just out of High School, it was the wedding of the century! Every detail excited me –her amazing dress, the flowers, the church, the choirs, the photographs – all the pomp and ceremony! Not to mention – HER CROWN! I’ve recently learned it was the first time Princess Diana wore a tiara all day, and ended up with a splitting headache. However, in her excitement and elegance, she never showed it! She was breathtaking and I’ll never forget it!

A wedding can transform us all – from just friends and family to the cordially invited. It transforms a girl into a bride, and her handsome beau into a bride-groom – magically, and
sometimes even royally! So many girls dream of their wedding day from childhood, wishing to become a Princess Bride! After all, it’s the one day that is truly dedicated to the Bride and Groom.

Planning all the details for your royal wedding (or any regal event) starts with the theme. Nowadays, royal weddings or crown-themed events are very popular! Whether you’re planning a Mardi Gras party, a San Antonio Fiesta party, a Royal Wedding, a Super Sweet 16, a Princess Birthday Party, or a Queen’s Dinner, you’ll want to incorporate crown motifs wherever you can!

Let’s start with the decorations! Using a Crown to top a cake is a wonderful “piece de resistance” that really emphasizes the theme of your event! Adding a few fresh flowers, such as “Million Stars” gypsophilia or tiny white spray roses, to that crown can make it look like it’s floating atop your cake! Having a special toast to the happy couple, queen, or birthday girl with Crown Toasting Flutes carries the crown theme along! These pretty glasses can also be used for berries & cream, parfaits, or with floating candles!

A Crown Cake Knife and Cake
Server set are not only pretty but so useful! Use them over and over again at any function with a special loaf of bread, cake or pie!


Crowns as centerpieces, filled with candles or flowers, add that regal element to your party. Crown votive candles can surround your centerpiece, or sit at each guest’s place-setting. Nothing is more elegant or romantic than faces glowing by candlelight!

Whether your dinner is large or small, place cards make your guests feel welcome and comfortable. You can add Crown Place Card Holders to your event at the place setting, or at the Escort Card Table!

Naturally, everyone loves Crown Dinnerware! Adding a Crown Salad
Plate to your place setting is a regal way to convey your theme! Our crown mugs and platters can be used for food service, or as decorative elements. Fill the mugs with flowers, candy sticks, M&Ms, or use them as a gift your guests can take home!

When planning a Sweet 16 Birthday, it is such fun to give all the guests a favor! A perfect party favor is our Crown Key Chain! What 16-year-old (and new driver) wouldn't treasure this memento?

Naturally, you’ll want to have a Crown Guest Book to record all the wonderful people who attended! There’s nothing better than having guests write a favorite memory or good tiding in your guest book! A special crown pen & pen holder to match makes it perfect!




Displaying special photographs of the Queen, Birthday Girl, or special couple is a treat everyone likes to take a moment to enjoy! Using a multitude of Crown Picture Frames to show treasured memories and photos over the years is a lovely way to honor that special person!
