Have you ever dreamed of a beautiful Disney wedding? After all, Disney probably introduced you to the whole idea of a beautiful big wedding.
A Disney wedding is a lavish affair with opulent styling, a delicious feast, lots of dancing an magic in the air. It is the sacred celebration of a prince and princess declaring their undying love for one another.
Whether it was Ariel and Prince Eric, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Jasmine and Aladdin or another iconic Disney couple, their tales taught us about true love, courage, romance and bravery.
We've been fantasising about fairytale weddings ever since!
