What a great topic Fantasia Sam. We know that all Disney Brides like to mention what they are doing or have done for thier wedding. Or at least you and I do
My theme was Cinderella and Prince Charming. (Our daughters Favorite) The colors of my wedding were lilac and white. My Unity Candle was hand made all carved out of wax and hollowed out at the base with Cinderella and Prince charming standing inside all hand carved out of white wax. This candle was beautiful and I got soooo many compliments on it.
My flowers were white and lilac roses as well as our daughters. My reception was held at the Asbury Hall in the Yacht Club. This was not my first choice however I had to make the best of it.
At my entrace I too had a lithograph print framed and placed on an easel for all to sign as my guest book. It was Cinderella and the Prince on the bridge. The pen stand was a beautifully decorated glass slipper. My table seating cards were in Frames that resembled Cinderellas coach and my tables were named with a Cinderella themeing. (Cinderella table- My family, Prince Table- his family, Fairy Godmother table for my godmother and her family, Glass Slipper table other guest and so on.) We had 10 tables total. Also at each table we had special table cards made that were cut outs of Cinderella and Prince charming dancing which stated which table the table actually was (cinderella ect)
MY Card box was a huge white cinderella coach with 2 white horses. Which also was decorated with the same color roses that I used in my bouquet . This card box had lights all over it so that it lit up.
My centerpieces were Large iron carriages that I purchased and spray painted white and decorated with the same color flowers and beautiful ribbon. Inside the carriage my godmother made little pillows with and placed glass slippers on them. These carriages also lit up with battery operated lights and gave off a nice touch to the tables.
I also had 4 votive candles around the table (the asbury hall has no windows for light) as well as Silver coated chocolate coved candy almonds scattered over the table. My guest absolutely loved these almonds. They were soooo good and with the lights hitting off them they just glittered so nicely.
My cake was 3 tiered with the Large White Chocolate Cinderellas Castle on top.
I hired a balloon decorator as well because the room was bear and needed some fullness to it so I had a dance floor canopy put up as well as balloon collums behind my cake that were lit up, also a arch going over my Djs area and our table and scattered balloon all over the floor for the children to kick around and play with. We also had balloons tied to each of my centerpieces at differnent lenghths to give it a feeling that the ceiling was not that high
My favors were for the women Crystal Grandfather Clocks that I stopped at the hour of 12 and for the men silver shoe bottle openers as well as a wine bottle topper. They also were able to keep the picture frames and we played a game at each table to see who would win the centerpieces.
A characture artist was also there to draw a picture of each guest and for them to keep as a favor. This was a HUGE HIT!!! Everyone got their picture done. It was well worth the Money. I had of course Mickey and Minnie come to spend some time with us Dancing and cake cutting which was another HUGE HIT!!!
For our salad we had Bibb lettuce with Herbs, Edible Flowers, Micro Greens and a warm Goat Cheese Scone Passed Rosewater Vinaigrette
Main entree we had
Maine Lobster Tails
Seared Twin Beef Filet Minon
Lemon Beurre Blanc
Potato Basket Filled with Roasted Garlic Mouse and Baby Vegtables
and the children had the Minnie Mouse Entree
We had cake for dessert as well as having the dessert party later that night so I opted out of having any dessert other than the cake at the reception. We also had open bar the entire time.
Since the Majority of my guest stayed at the Yacht Club after my reception we just took pictures on the Yacht Club grounds and then it was time for our Illumintations Dessert Party. What great dessert. MMMMMMMMMM. I also had champange here for my guest to toast one last time.
Boy I could write soooooo much more but I wont bore you guys any longer.
