Throwing A Disney Themed Wedding: Tips & Tricks For The Perfect Day

A Disney themed wedding is an absolutely magical idea for your big day! But how do you bring this fun theme together? Here are a few tips and tricks to help you knock your Disney themed wedding out of the park.

Tip #1: Choose the perfect Disney themed venue on Peerspace

The perfect Disney themed wedding requires a one-of-a-kind space. Our number one tip is to use Peerspace to find just such a venue.

On Peerspace, you’ll find tons of beautiful, fun, and Disney-inspired event venues around the United States — with at least a few you’ll be torn between choosing for your special day!

Ahead, we share a few examples of Peerspace venues that would be ideal for a Disney-themed wedding.

A castle fit for a Disney princess

You can’t marry Prince Charming just anywhere — you need a castle for the big event! On Peerspace, finding a gorgeous, Magic Kingdom-esque castle is a piece of cake!

For example, just check out this magical, gothic beauty available for rent in Connecticut! We especially love the exotic woods from around the world and beautiful antiques inside the venue, that will make your Disney themed wedding feel extra magical!

Minnie Mouse would be proud

More of a Mickey and Minnie fan than a Disney Princess fanatic? Then, how about getting married in a home Minnie would undoubtedly approve of! This pink noir home in Houston, Texas is perfect for a Mickey and Minnie Mouse themed micro-wedding. Or a perfect choice to get your pictures taken with your groom!

Jungle vibes

Whether you’re going for Moana, Lilo and Stitch, George of the Jungle, or The Jungle Book vibes for your wedding — this enchanting rainforest event space in Los Angeles is a winner!

On Peerspace, you can search for venues themed toward specific Disney movies – like an animal print-themed venue for a Lion King wedding or an underwater-themed venue for a Little Mermaid wedding. Whatever your dream, Peerspace can make it come true!

Tip #2: Seek out Disney princess bridesmaid dresses

A super fun way to incorporate Disney into your wedding is with Disney princess themed bridesmaid dresses! The dresses can be a subtle nod to the princesses, with each bridesmaid wearing a different color to represent a different princess.

However, you can also go all out and find dresses that match the exact style, look, and color of each character’s outfit! Looking to go even one step further? Include tiaras, shoes, jewelry, and other accessories to match each Disney princess dress.

Tip #3: Rent a beautiful Disney-inspired carriage

What’s a Disney themed wedding without a Cinderella-style carriage? Including a beautiful carriage on your big day is a wonderful way to make a grand entrance to the big event or be whisked away by your Prince Charming at the night’s end! You can also use large decorative carriages as a place for guests to place gifts, a spot to put deserts, or even as a photo-op location for everyone to enjoy!

On Peerspace, you can find plenty of venues with beautiful carriages, like this space in California and this one in New York!

Tip #4: Play music from your favorite Disney movies

When you are choosing the playlist for your wedding celebration, don’t forget to add in some Disney classics! You could pepper your wedding playlist with Disney songs, offer exclusively Disney music, or even start up a Disney karaoke sesh at the end of the night for all your guests!

This is a fun Disney themed wedding idea whether you have a live band, DJ, or are just playing music off a laptop. It’s sure to get everyone singing and dancing along! 

Tip #5: Add in subtle Disney details

Your nod to Disney at your wedding doesn’t have to be overt or obvious. Instead, you can just add subtle Disney details that only your fellow Disney-loving guests will pick up on! 

A few ideas include embroidering Mickey Mouse in the corners of linens, wearing Disney-inspired shoes under your flowing wedding dress, having the groom wear a Mickey Mouse-esque tie, or providing Disney themed props at the wedding’s photo wall or photo area. 

Tip #6: Plan for a mesmerizing firework show

Even if you aren’t hosting your wedding at Magic Kingdom, you can still recreate the magical vibes with a beautiful firework show after the ceremony or during the reception.

You can learn more about how fireworks can be set to explode in certain shapes (like Mickey Mouse’s face) in this “How Stuff Works” article.

Tip #7: Decorate with Disney characters in mind

Give each table at your wedding a different Disney character theme! For example, you can make one table Cinderella themed and decorate the table with mini-pumpkins and pumpkin blossoms. A Belle themed table could be covered in roses and Snow White’s table could have apple blossoms.

You could also decorate tables with specific movie themes, instead of character-specific themes, as well!

Tip #8: Feature a Disney themed photo wall

If Disney is an important part of your wedding, it should be an important part of all your guests’ wedding photos too! So let all your wedding guests immerse themselves in the Disney spirit with a Disney themed photo wall!

On Peerspace, you can find wedding venues that come with Disney themed photo walls, already set up and ready to go on your big day. For example, check out the adorable Mickey and Minnie Mouse art painted on the side of this NYC roof terrace venue. Your guests are sure to love using this art piece as a photo backdrop!
