Disney Weddings: Designed To Start A Couple On A Magical Journey

No one will argue that just about everyone loves Mickey and all his Disney pals. There’s no doubt why thousands of couples choose Disney weddings. Whether the actual celebration takes place at Disneyland or Walt Disney World, or if the theme is carried out in your own backyard, there’s still plenty of opportunity to choose the Disney character(s) or theme that’s right for you and your intended. Couples often want Disney weddings so that they can incorporate one of the theme parks into their honeymoon.

Narrowing Down Your Disney Wedding Theme

Because there are hundreds of Disney characters, movies, and other related items, it’s important that you choose the exact theme early on. However, if you do choose Disney as a “blanket” theme, then remember that Mickey and Minnie and Cinderella and her Prince are used most often in Disney wedding decorations. Maybe it’s one of the movies that attracts you to a Disney theme. If possible, purchase a copy of the movie, so that you’ll be able to use it as a reference point.

Setting Your Disney Wedding Plan

Now that you’ve chosen Disney as the theme for your wedding, you now need to choose a date (preferably at least six to nine months off), find an appropriate location and book it, select your attendants and determine whom you’ll invite as guests. Because your wedding will likely take place in a church, you need to consult with the pastor to see if you can carry the Disney theme into the sanctuary or whether you’ll have to limit your Disney decorations to the reception.

When considering what you will wear – a traditional gown and tuxedo or something more casual – decide if you will incorporate the Disney theme into your attire. A fun touch would be to wear Mickey Mouse ears.

There are dozens of Disney invitation ideas available on-line, or at local stationery stores or printers. You might consider a photo of yourselves during a previous visit to one of the Disney theme parks.

Your Disney Wedding Decorations and Favors

Where do you begin? There are hundreds, if not thousands, of Disney items available for use in your wedding. For example, there is a Mickey and Minnie ring bearer pillow. Look for the Disney logo on everything from envelope seals to plates and napkins.

Disney Weddings at Destination Resorts

If you decide to hold your wedding at an actual Disney resort (Disneyland or Walt Disney World), you are in for the experience of a lifetime. Disneyland offers special wedding packages that incorporate the ceremony, including a licensed pastor or civil official, and a complete reception.

The reception may include but not be limited to serving staff in tuxedos, a specially decorated head table featuring the Disney theme, ivory or white floor length linens, elegant table settings, a skirted table for the guest book (a Disney guest book if you choose), place cards and gifts, a cake table and an attendant, and a wooden parquet dance floor.

They also include a cake featuring the theme character(s) or a specific Disney theme that you’ve chosen. Walt Disney World basically offers the same packages and the differences reflect the resort’s location. Rather than staying in the hotel, this resort offers the option of sailing on a cruise ship. Couples can be married on the boat as well.

True Love

The world loves Disney and it shows. Disney products and theme parks are the perfect expression of fun and excitement. They provide valuable memories that will last a lifetime. Disney weddings are designed to start a couple, with the love that they share, on a magical journey where they will embark on a wonderful voyage.
