    So I know a lot of you bees have been waiting for my recap! I'm still waiting on all the photos from our photographer, but I do have a good handful of photos from our guests, and a few preview shots from our photographer, so it was a good time to start this thread!

    We had a Princess and the Frog themed wedding, at a castle banquet hall, with little touches from the movie throughout! For all the Disney themed details, check out my THEME THREAD HERE. We also did a Princess and the Frog themed engagmemnt photoshoot! We used those photos in our guestbook. Engagement Photos are in THIS THREAD HERE.

    The weather was pretty gloomy on our wedding day but we got some nice pictures outside anyway. I had an amazing time, and I felt like a princess!

    Here are some pictures from our guests and my cell phone.

     

    And here are some preview pictures from our photographer.

    @nashanta:  All those details are TDF! Love the cake, guest book, and nail polish. Looks like everything really came together in an incredibly classy way!

    Thanks for sharing your wedding pictures with us. I really like the lights on your dance floor.  What kind of dance where you two doing when you had your hands extended?

    I think your hair clip is very pretty and I like the table decorations. So you used similiar colors as were are using. We were doing a princess and the frog theme but my FI shared it with some of his friends and they teased him that he was a Frog so now he just wants to keep with the colors and fairytale type theme, but without the frogs (hehehe)

    Our colors are lavendar, sage, and silver as an accent color. I am actually making a brooch bouquet that I am almost finished making that is lavendar and sageI have already borrowed some of your ideas such as the lilypad centerpieces and can't wait to continue to use you as my inspiration.

    Thanks everyone for all the wonderful comments! I LOVED the lights on the dance floor, was just like the fireflies in the movie (I thought), and you can't see it in any of the pictures but there's a night sky paiting on the ceiling above the dancefloor. Everything about the venue just went so well with our theme!

    @TinaJade:  Actually, I'm a full time graphic designer, and I just started a home business where I make handcrafted jewelry! So I sort of have two creative jobs :) I love creating things!

    @proverbs131:  We did a waltz, we took private dance lessons and had this whole dance created for our first dance :) I'm lucky my husband loves The Princess and the Frog as much as I do, so he was definitely on board with the whole theme. Good luck with all the planning!

    @nashanta:  I've got to ask-how did your guestbook turn out? I just ordered mine from Shutterfly almost just like that style and I'm a bit worried if people will sign or not. I'm probably just freaking out.

    But otherwise, your theme was so well executed! You looked just like a princess!

    This is THE BEST "Disney/Cartoon" themed wedding I have ever seen!  You guys are gorgeous and so are all these details.  This is a perfect example of taking something simple that you have (a concept, a location, a mutal-love) and really making it yours.

    Well done!

    Thank you everyone for following my threads, and loving all our details and photos. We got a few more of our pictures from the actual ceremony.

    The ceremony went perfectly. Everything was a blur. It was super convenient to have everything (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) in the same venue. Practically everyone who RSVP'd actually showed up. We had maybe 4 or 5 no shows! Which is great for any wedding!

    Before I post the photos, I have to say I did an awesome job with the drawing for our guest book cover. After seeing this particular photo of us, I think I captured us both pretty well in my illustration!

    And now for some more pictures! I also did my own hair and make-up for the big day (I had a make-up artist teach me how to apply make-up months before because I never wear the stuff lol). I think I did a pretty good job.

     

    I swore I wouldn't cry walking down the aisle, and I didn't! I didn't tear up until we read our vows. We wrote our own, and I just couldn't hold back tears. My (future) husband handed me the handkerchief out of his pocket.

     

    When I handed it back to him I believe my exact words in a timid teary voice were, "Here....it's gross now" And that's why we were all laughing.

     

    The sand colors we chose matched the color of our wedding bands. My ring has yellow sapphires, and his has a blue opalescence inlay.

     

    Getting married in a castle wouldn't be complete without the thrones! I love these pictures with our wedding party Laughing

    @Jessy727:  I made a cute little sign and framed it, and encouraged the wedding party to sign it, so when other guests looked through it they would sign. We had something on every page, but everyone didn't sign it. We still got a lot of "yearbook" like messages and paragraphs from people though, which was fun to read afterwards Laughing

    @dewingedpixie:  OMG! That sounds so cool. I can't wait to see all the little touches you come up with. I love Disney themes (obviously)

    @Araya:  Isn't he though? I need to buy him more vests. The man looks good in a vest and tie. And I LOVED the shoes he picked for the wedding!

    @queencharlotte04:  Our theme was very subtle I think. So if anyone didn't see The Princess and the Frog, they would just enjoy a beautiful wedding. But there were a lot of our guests who totally got the details. And even though we had a "theme" it still was very much a wedding, and not like a children's party lol.
