Ideas for a Disney Themed Wedding

Just because you can't take the wedding to Disney doesn't mean that you can't have a Disney themed wedding. Just bring Disney to the wedding with some of these ideas for a Disney themed wedding.

Even though we think 'kids shows' when we think Disney, the reality is that our favorite Disney movies are the stuff that romance is made of. Prince Charming and Snow White, Aladdin and Princess Jasmine, Belle and the Beast - even Mickey and Minnie and Donald and Daisy and Simba and Nala.

One of the ideas for a Disney themed wedding is to build your wedding around Disney romances. Decorate with balloons bearing the likenesses of famous Disney couples. Pick up Christmas ornaments with Donald and Daisy, Mickey and Minnie or other famous Disney couples on them to hang around the room or have them personalized with your names and wedding date to give out as wedding favors to your guests.

Another idea for a Disney themed wedding is to choose one Disney theme and use it in everything from your wedding invitations to your wedding cake. Cinderella is one of the most popular of the Disney wedding themes, and many wedding decor companies sell Cinderella coaches that you can use as centerpieces. Place one on each table, overflowing with roses or trailing flowers. Glass slippers filled with wedding candies and wrapped in tulle netting make adorable Disney themed wedding favors for a Cinderella wedding.

What's the best idea for a Disney themed wedding cake? A fairy tale castle, complete with spun sugar turrets and candied violet ornaments, of course. You can buy Disney themed wedding invitations online or at any Hallmark store, along with Disney wedding items like guest books and cake knives. If you'd rather, you can find pictures of Disney characters and themes that you like online and use them to print your own invitations.

Disney colors are bright and clear. Decorate your wedding hall in white with red, blue and yellow flowers and ribbons. Tie bunches of balloons to the backs of chairs, or float clouds of balloons above the head table. Replicas of the Disney fairy tale castle make wonderful centerpieces for the reception table, and use Disney character models to hold place cards.

Don't forget some of the less well-known 'supporting actors' from Disney movies when you're considering wedding reception table decoration accents. One clever idea for a Disney themed wedding, for instance, is to decorate each wedding reception table in the theme of a different Disney movie.

For the head table, use Cinderella with a fairy tale coach and glass slippers. Set one table with yellow and blue napkins, and a centerpiece of a basket of bright, red apples. Use Seven Dwarves garden gnomes for place holders. Decorate another Disney themed wedding reception table with the whimsical Lumiere and Chip and Mrs. Potts.

A third Disney themed wedding reception table can be dedicated to Jasmine and Aladdin, with genie lamps for wedding favors, a fourth to The Lion King with Nala and Simba taking center stage. Merriweather and her sisters can enchant yet another table, with the thorn-covered castle as centerpiece and miniature gold spinning wheels as wedding favors. And of course, no Disney wedding would be complete without a Little Mermaid table and Tinkerbell presiding over the Island of the Lost Boys.

As a final note, ideas for Disney wedding theme music include all the classic love songs from Disney weddings including "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?" and "A Whole New World".
