Luke & I have been huge Disney fans for some time now. We have both been to Walt Disney World many years ago with family and like most people have grown up with many Disney influences, but it wasn’t until our son was born in 2010 that we fully immersed ourselves in the Disney obsession. Disney have brought our family together in so many ways, whether it be sitting together and watching a movie or taking our son on his first family trip to WDW when he was just 4.5 months old. I’m so thankful to the company/franchise for the happiness they’ve brought to our family and in January 2012 when we started planning our wedding, an event that celebrates the union of two families, having it Disney themed was the only logical thought for us. After spending some time online looking at Disney theme wedding ideas we decided early on we wanted a pretty subtle theme. I’m not a huge Disney Princess girl (apart from Rapunzel <3) so we decided a Mickey/Minnie theme would be more appropriate for us, and along the way we ended up throwing in hints of Tangled (my favourite movie) and The Nightmare Before Christmas (Luke’s favourite movie).
Our wedding cake. My friend at Always Anchors made a small Pascal figure to look like he’s licking the cake.
This was the set up as you entered our reception with the table plan, post box, autograph book and fingerprint tree.
Our gorgeous marquee reception.
Table plan. Originally we planned to use Disney quotes, but we trialled a couple and realised it was way too much text so went with the silhouettes instead, which I think gave it a real classy look.
My husbands Jack Skellington boutonniere.
We knew we wanted a keepsake from the day & after seeing a version on Etsy I fell in love with the Up version of a fingerprint tree. This was a huge hit with my guests.
Our aisle runner. This was something I really wanted but couldn’t justify the price so I made it myself! It’s one of my favourite things from the day.
Our post box for wedding cards and small gifts.
Since July I spent several hours painfully punching out Mickey shaped confetti. As time was running out Luke took charge and ordered the bigger size heads from eBay which I was thankful for in the end because I’m not even sure you can see my Mickey heads on the confetti shot. This is another of my favourite things from the day, I love the small touches.
Adult favours, personalised tea light candles with Minnie & Mickey kissing.
Place cards.
Obviously this was for Luke’s eyes only (& my bridesmaid who had to put it on!).My The Nightmare Before Christmas themed garter.
Kids favours, small bottles of pixie dust.
Lucky horseshoe.
My shoes were decoupaged with vintage Mickey & Minnie photos.
Part of my bridesmaids gifts. I got the earrings online and made the cards myself.
This was a part of the kids favours, activity packs to keep them occupied during the meal & speeches.
We had a Pascal on each table with the centrepieces.
We signed the register with a Mickey head pen, and also used this for guests to sign the autograph book.
Of course we had to have the bride and groom ears for some fun pictures.
My Rapunzel-inspired bridal hairstyle.
Lastly, what kind of Rapunzel would I be if I didn’t have Pascal? 🙂
I also had hidden Mickey’s on my veil with gems, our son had the rings in a Pascal bag and we had the Disney Fairytale Weddings CD played at background music during our wedding breakfast.
For the evening I did a Disney-themed photobooth with free printables I found online. It was a big hit with everyone and brought a lot of fun to the night.

The planning has been stressful and along the way we’ve had several comments made about our theme but I think we surprised a lot of people in the end and shown them that Disney is just as much for adults as it is for kids. I’m so happy with how our theme played out and it was perfect for us, I hope you enjoy reading/seeing how Disney touches gave us a truly magical day ❤
