My "Disney" wedding in Atlanta :o)

I loved how the balloon release came out- the Mickey head balloons were difficult to blow up, but it was such a good surprise to everyone who was there... no one could figure out what we had in those boxes

The bubbles while we were dancing credit goes to a friend of the family. He'd seen it done at other weddings and thought it would make nice pictures, so he told us that we should Luckily, we'd taken a little more dance lessons (other than waltz) from my parents 3 days before (and even luckier- we apparently have a "knack" for picking dancing up!)

The mickey head cutout pictures ended up being the most talked about decoration at my wedding. I took pictures of Tommy & I growing up (as well as some engagement photos) and printed wallet sized photos & used the mickey punch to punch the pictures

Where did you get the Mickey head punch? I've never seen one. Thanks.

Amanda - Fabulous photos!!

What did the front end of your runner say? What is on Mary Emma's sign-on-a-stick she had at the reception? And is that a bunny from Build a Bear I see in her hands?

Nicolle,

I bought my mickey punch @ Memories (a local scrapbooking store)... but I've also seen them at Archivers (another scrapbooking store) and on Ebay. It's about an inch & a half punch... something like that anyway.

Jennifer,

The "piece of paper on a stick" was my wedding program. I made old-fashioned church fans (cardstock squares on large craft sticks). Since the ceremony was outside, I wanted people to be able to fan themselves, and I figured that they'd wrinkle up any other program I could make by fanning themselves with it anyway... it worked out nicely!

Yes, that IS a build-a-bear bunny you see with MaryEmma. That was her flower girl gift... it's a bunny wearing a wedding dress that looks almost identical to MaryEmma's flower girl dress

Thank you everyone for your sweet comments

As for my aisle runner, I hate it that pictures didn't really do it justice! (It took me about 60 hours to do! )

When you face the "altar"/walk down the aisle, it reads "Once upon a time..."

When you're walking back up the aisle, it reads "And they lived happily ever after"



If anyone is interested in learning how to do it, it really wasn't that hard and I'd be happy to talk you through it!

If anyone else is planning on having a balloon release, PLEASE let me know BEFORE you start hunting for the ellusive Mickey head balloons. I've only found one dealer (in AZ) that carries them, and I bought FAR too many... they only come in an assortment of red, blue, and yellow. Think VERY primary colors... crayola red, blue & yellow... no pale shades here

They MUST be blown up by a helium tank though As for boxes for storing the balloons, I suggest bugging your local produce man at Sams/Costco. We got both of mine (FOXy Citrus boxes) at Sams.
