Help with ideas for Disney details for our wedding!

[Tori-ori-oria]

Hi everyone!

Getting married in less than 3 months and want to start trying to bring some very subtle Disney Park hints to our big day. Neither of us are in-your-face Disney or character fans - our favourite things about the parks are stopping to smell the roses and appreciating the small details. We love the art and theatre of the parks and finding the little hidden meanings.

I’m a wedding cake maker by trade so making my own cake - the plan is to stencil a white pattern onto a white cake around the bottom tier - it’s a hexagon so we will pick our 6 favourite attractions and I’ll make stencils for them - for example, the geometric facade of IASW. The rest of the cake is covered in sugar flowers so you get an idea of how subtle the Disney is.

Planning to use Disney parks as an inspiration for our table names, but switching it up a bit. For example, so far we have:

- Hollywood Tower Hotel
- Andy’s Room
- Tortuga
- Briar Patch
- Thunder Mesa...

We need some more table ideas though! I thought you were the best people to ask! You’ll see that we aren’t actually using the ride name, really going for the subtle approach. We’d love to try and get nods to Wishes and Illuminations and maybe some other things that aren’t attractions like restaurants or shops.

The plan is, on the reverse of the table name sign, to have a blurb about our memories with that attraction and either a photo of us there or a photo we’ve taken of it. We’ve only been to WDW and DLP but done them extensively. DL and TDR are our honeymoon destinations!

Does anyone have any other ideas of small subtle nods to the Disney parks? I’m planning to create a playlist of dinner music full of the BGM from the parks as well as things like illuminations Fantasmic but trying to get all instrumental!

Thanks so much in advance! Time is flying now and we need to get our skates on!

If your having table Confetti you could pop a few holographic mickey heads in there? (Ebay has mickey head glitter in different colours)
Table - tomorrow land terrace, or maybe find out some of the business names in the windows above Main Street?
Maybe a subtle nod to the rose in beauty and the beast, Cinderella’s glass slipper ect.?
I love the ideas you’ve already got going!

Hundred acre wood
One of the star wars planets? Hoth / batuu if that's how you spell it
Pandora
Never land
Temple of doom


We had some disney touches to our day - our tables names were 'lands' so we had never land hundred acre wooda star wars planet etc and then on each table the centre piece had something to reflect that land a Peter pan style hat a mini millennium falcon etc.

How about "The West Wing" as a tsbke name and you could have a cloche with a "suspended" rose (hung using nylon thread)

The Diamond Mine as a table?

What about the pattern from Spaceship Earth as a background somewhere?

We are getting married in September and having Disney themed table decorations- due to bits I already own we are having a princess theme so we are having:

Beauty and the beast (mrs Potts and chip with a red rose)
Aladdin (gold lamp with treasure)
Tangled (frying pan and lanterns)
Cinderella (glass slipper and pumpkins)
Little mermaid (shells and a big fork and pipe!)
Frozen- snowflakes

I cannot wait! We didn’t want it in people’s faces but it’s escalated lol! We were wanting more props than actual characters as think that would be too much.

I'm planning a subtle Disney theme to my 40th party. We're having cheese and biscuits for the food and so I'm going to have the cheese truckles arranged like hidden mickeys. Could you do something similar with some of your food?

All I can think of is Ohana to represent family and friends

See more...

I was totally going to do this but with Disney rides! So an old oil lamp and cactus for big thunder, old crates with stamps on the side and tropical plants for jungle cruise...

And then we fell in love with the most beautiful barn venue and I decided uniform flowers would look a lot better in the (expensive!) photos than a collection of old artefacts.

Still keeping the idea for a big birthday or anniversary though 😉
