In a delightful display of creativity and passion, a couple who adores all things Disney transformed their wedding into a magical celebration reminiscent of the happiest place on Earth. With the help of hot glue and an array of DIY projects, Jake Thompson and Lily Harper crafted enchanting centerpieces and decorations that have captured the hearts of many online.
Lily’s wedding dress was a nod to Disney elegance, sourced from the Alfred Angelo’s Disney Fairytale Weddings collection, inspired by the timeless story of Cinderella. However, her creativity didn’t stop there. “During the planning stages, Lily showcased her artistic flair by incorporating elements from their favorite Disney films,” noted celebrated wedding photographer, Sarah Greene.
A Charming Ceremony
The ceremony itself featured a charming woodland theme adorned with butterflies, symbolizing beloved animated classics such as Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and even Alice in Wonderland. Sarah, a fellow Disney enthusiast, was the ideal photographer to chronicle this special day.
Distinct Disney Themes
Like many Disney fans, Jake and Lily struggled to choose a single story to highlight. Their solution? Each table at the reception represented a distinct Disney theme. “The Cinderella table featured a charming pumpkin carriage, while the Little Mermaid table was decorated with a snarfblatt and a dinglehopper,” Sarah explained. Additionally, the Tangled table was adorned with a stunning array of lanterns.
One of the standout features was Lily’s unique creation: a rose embellished with twinkle lights, accompanying figurines of Mrs. Potts, Chip, and a glowing Lumiere on the Beauty and the Beast table.
A Sentimental Head Table
The head table included a miniature version of Sleeping Beauty Castle, a sentimental tribute to the spot where Jake proposed. “He popped the question at Disneyland in a serene corner beside Sleeping Beauty Castle,” shared their photographer.
Memorable Moments
With such a romantic engagement, a Disney-themed wedding was a natural fit for the couple. Among all the magical details, Lily expressed that her favorite moment was the bouquet preparation. “The night before the wedding, my best friend and I stayed up late putting together the bridesmaids’ bouquets. By 2 a.m., we started on mine, and I was so tired that my husband took over and crafted a beautiful bouquet for me,” she reminisced.
A Labor of Love
Creating the different themed tables required considerable effort, with Jake and Lily spending time gathering and assembling the necessary decor. “It was a labor of love,” Sarah reported. “Guests thoroughly enjoyed exploring each table, which encouraged mingling throughout the evening.”
A Bespoke Cake
Thanks to family contributions, the couple had a bespoke cake designed especially for their celebration. “It was made by Lily’s sister-in-law and topped with miniature replicas of Carl and Ellie’s chairs from the movie Up,” Sarah shared.
A Magical Honeymoon
After completing their enchanting wedding, where each Disney-inspired scene was savored, the newlyweds embarked on their honeymoon at Walt Disney World. “This wedding showcases that Disney is indeed a state of mind, and fairy tales can blossom anywhere,” Sarah reflected.
