Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale Wedding

What about copies of Grimms Fairy tales for each table? Or excerpts from their well known tales, on parchment like paper, for the tables, or the cake table/gift table.

You could do table names instead of table numbers. The tables named after famous Grimm characters or story titles?

Lanterns, with the tea lights inside? Very "old country"

When I read your description I was immediately reminded of an article I just saw in YWD magazine. It was called Fanciful Garden, and though it may be a little bit darker than you are going for it has a TON of great decorations that I think could go great with your theme! Here is a link to it

Oh i just realized the pictures on the site dont get bigger... BUMMER! If you can find one it was in the YWD Winter 2008 issue... those little pics don't do it justice!

Gabby I LOVE the look on that link you posted! It made me think of a something Buie's Girl could use pretty cheaply. How about craft moss? Like at Micheal's they have bags of it and you could lay it out on tables or in shallow boxes and lay the place cards on it or whatever. It just has that whimsical garden feel, makes you think of gnomes living under trees or something. I'd hang it off the branches, or some hanging amaranthus, or spanish moss just to add some texture. Drip it over anything you could think of, candelabras, etc..Great theme by the way!!
