Weddings & Honeymoons

I’m thrilled to announce our 2013 Bridal Showcase will be on February 9th, 2013 at Disney’s Contemporary Convention Center. Mark your calendars for a day full of fun, creativity and a little Disney magic- from guest speaker David Tutera to demonstrations from our culinary team, it’s a Bridal Showcase like you’ve never seen.

Keep your eye on Ever After and our Facebook page for event updates and additional details.

See you on the 9th,

In today’s society, the terms escort and place cards are used interchangeably- and if you’re like most brides, you’re probably asking yourself if there’s even a difference between the two. Well I’m here today to tell you that escort cards and place cards are in fact two very different things.

Escort cards are standard at almost every wedding, and are typically what most brides refer to with regards to where their guests will sit. Typically arranged in alphabetical order by guests’ last name, these are the cards that your guests will pick up to escort them to their designated table.

Place cards are used to inform guests exactly which seat is theirs, or their place, at a designated table. Place cards can be helpful if you are looking for your guests to mix and mingle with particular attendees.

My favorite thing about both escort and place cards is that they allow the bride and groom to let their personality shine through- you can’t go wrong with either of them.

Eat, drink and be married!

Many brides are mesmerized by the warm and alluring climate of a destination wedding at Walt Disney World or Disneyland Resort. While the tropical conditions make for a beautiful ceremony and outdoor reception location, rain seems to be the biggest worry for our Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings brides. And I can totally relate- I chose to have my own fairy tale wedding outside.

We’ve all heard that rain is good luck on your wedding day- and I’ve seen some of the most magical and breathtaking wedding photos take place in the rain! Sometimes things don’t go exactly as planned, but know that even if it does sprinkle on your big day it will still be a special moment you’ll remember for the rest of your life. So grab an umbrella (and your new spouse) and get that rain “money shot”! Cherish it, embrace it and have fun.

Rain? What rain?

Every day here at Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons we have the privilege of creating magic for couples from across the country and around the globe. It’s pretty obvious how much I love this brand (so much that I even had my own wedding here!) so today I’m sharing five of my top reasons to have a Disney’s Fairy Tale Wedding:

• Simply stated, planning a wedding can be stressful. It’s often a relief for many brides when they realize that Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings is a one-stop-shopping planning experience. With wedding planners and coordinators on site, a renowned bakery and culinary team, and multiple ceremony locations at your disposal, a wedding here is anything but stressful.
• Destination weddings are a great way to give your guests a vacation of their own, and Disney is no exception to the rule. With multiple theme parks in our own backyard, you never have to worry about entertaining your guests.
• Though destination weddings seem like they might break the bank, they can actually be more affordable. Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings offers a wide variety of Collections that are guaranteed to fit your budget needs.
• We all know planning a honeymoon isn’t any less stressful than planning a wedding, so why not have your cake and eat it too? The beauty of a Disney’s Fairy Tale Wedding is that you are already at an amazing honeymoon location. At Disney, your big day doesn’t have to end right after you say your vows.
• Finally (and most importantly), destination weddings give you a memorable experience and the best thank you present to your guests imaginable – memories that will last a lifetime. And what better way to say thanks than with a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth?

I love a good pair of heels- what girl doesn’t? But I’ll be the first to admit that after running around in my heels all day my feet need a little break. Needless to say, when I stumbled across the TOMS website and discovered their new Wedding Collection I was thrilled. The TOMS Wedding Collection covers the bride, groom and entire bridal party- without sacrificing style. Plus, TOMS offers a 10% discount on bulk wedding orders!

Most importantly, for every pair of TOMS you purchase you’re also giving a pair of shoes to a child in need. Cute, comfortable and charitable- what more could a girl ask for?
