A Disney Princess Wedding: Ariel

So, the other day, I had just so much fun putting together an inspiration board of what a classy Beauty and the Beast wedding might look like, that I decided to make another post about a Disney Princess wedding right away.  Here is my Ariel-inspired wedding.


Ariel is another much-loved Disney princess.  The rebel of the lot, in many ways, she is not afraid to take charge of her own life and do something drastic, especially to have a chance at true love.  While she is admittedly a bit irresponsible and immature, her curiosity is wonderful and her thirst for knowledge, remarkable.  Ariel is the epitome of youth and her demeanor is as fresh and is imbued with as much texture and flavour as the ocean itself: she is altogether independent, a bit unruly, enthusiastic, and full of brilliant vigor.

More Disney Princess inspired weddings to come shortly! :)

A Disney Princess Wedding: Belle

I have decided to start writing a new series of blog posts, based off of Disney princesses.  The first up?  Well, as you can tell from the title, it's Belle from Beauty and the Beast.  Below is a collage of different pieces of inspiration I have put together, for a Beauty and the Beast themed wedding (click to enlarge)...


Belle is probably one of the most loved Disney princesses.  And for good reason!  She's smart, independent, loves her father, and is able to see past the Beast's exterior... and even his interior, to help him become a better person.  Her ability to inspire love is beautiful and her way of (gracefully) speaking exactly what's on her mind is admirable.  Never does Belle shrink away with fear, but she often shows bravery and demonstrates a willingness to be selfless when faced with tough situations.  And I have always loved the fact that she reads so much!  A heroine with a brain is the best kind, don't you agree?

Stay tuned for more Disney Princess inspired wedding ideas! :)

Note: the blog post was inspired by this one: http://burnettsboards.com/disney-princess-you/ -- SO amazing!  Seriously.  Check it out.

Save the date, k?

Happy August!  Well, ok, yes, I know, August is more than half over.  Just humour me.  I've always quite liked the month of August, and sometimes, I think it's the month I'd like to get married in... one day... Whenever it happens...  It's just a nice month-- one that is good, usually, weather-wise.  Right now, for example, we are going through a bit of a heat wave.  But it's just so nice to see the sun where I live.  Love it!

But anyways, I was browsing through... Pinterest?  I think?  I actually don't remember which site I was on at the time.  Anyways, and I found these cute Save-the-Dates.  Enjoy.

Ok, this first one probably doesn't exactly fit the description of a Save-the-Date, but it's close... And I thought the fingerprints making a heart was such a unique idea!  Only thing that bugs me a bit is the fact that it says "Were engaged."  Sounds like it's past tense to me.  I know, I know, it's supposed to be read, "We're engaged."  Well put a freakin' apostrophe there, then, k?  Haha.  That is my grammar rant of the day.


I love this next one.  Wouldn't it be cute to do some shots like that in an engagement photo shoot, and then print them off and just mail them as is?  Probably wouldn't be super expensive, either, which, as you may know, is a must for me.


This next one is AH-MAZE-ING.  Seriously.  What a cute idea.  The ring is just the perfect touch.  Brilliance.


Again, another cute idea for an engagement photo shoot, I think!  Almost like a two-birds-(two love birds?)with-one-stone kind of thing, doing a Save-the-Date shot during the shoot.  I lurve it.


Have you ever seen a unique Save-the-Date?  And another question: do you think Save-the-Dates are 100% necessary, or just an extra little thing to add to the wedding planning?  I had the thought of skipping them altogether, when I get married, but after seeing these, I might just reconsider....!
