Disney Engagement Photos...At Home!

How cute is this? Charlene and Andrew are getting married at Disneyland this November and they recently had their engagement photo session. They didn't make it onto Disney property for the photos, but Charlene brought along some Mickey suckers as props. I love it!

Super cute idea, you guys! I can't wait to see those wedding pictures...

For many people, the ultimate fairy tale dream is a wedding in the Magic Kingdom. One of the most common questions that Disney brides get asked is, "Are you getting married in front of the castle?" If you're interested in being one of the brides who says, "YES!", here are some quick facts about using the Magic Kingdom as your ceremony location:

So how spoiled are you this week? Instead of one DB spotlight in a fairytale setting, I'm giving you TWO! How's that for making up for lost time?

Remember Hope, the bride that will be having a Sleeping Beauty themed wedding at Disneyland next year? Her engagement picture previews are out and they are simply lovely. Honestly, for engagement pictures, you can't beat a Disney theme park as a background...

It's been a while since I've done a Disney Bride spotlight, so I decided to really pick a fairy tale setting for this one...

Sleeping Beauty Themed Wedding - Call For Help!!!

Hello, all!

I need your help...there's a wedding detail to be sorted out and from what I've learned, this is the best place to sort it. This time, however, it's not my wedding, but the wedding of another Disney bride and she's one of my favorites, so I'm hoping we'll find some creative answers on here...


This is Hope. Hope is getting married at Disneyland in one year and she's having the loveliest Sleeping Beauty themed wedding. Sleeping Beauty is my all-time favorite, so I've been keeping up with her wedding planning. She's got all sorts of cute stuff going on. My favorite so far has been the sweet powerpoint she made up for her bridesmaids or "bridal fairies".



As part of the Sleeping Beauty theme, Hope is pulling in some different medieval touches and one of the things that she wants to do is have a pair of pennant/banner/flag things with their family crest on them. The only problem is that Disney has priced out these custom banners at $600!

Since Hope is as budget conscious as I was, she's been looking for a cheaper alternative, even if it's DIY. Any creative ideas out there?
