Sister Friend Thursdays

Big Sister wants magic, make believe, and fairy's at her fairy tale wedding. I wonder what she might think about this fairy inspired wedding. The photos look like they're straight from an editorial shoot but it is indeed an honest to goodness, breathtakingly beautiful fairy wedding!

Disney Inspired - Ariel

It's now time for our favorite redheaded Disney character. The Little Mermaid turned princess (with legs) - Ariel!! I remember seeing this film in the theatre - I loved it. I loved it because Ariel was a redhead and she had cool what's it's and who's it's galore. (I happen to be a redhead as well, although I was a decidedly uncool, scrawny redhead - Ariel and Jessica Rabbit somehow made it a bit easier to be a redhead back then.) She was a dreamer and always wanted more and that's what she got. And how about that crazy Sea Witch character, good ol' Walt sure knows how to make his baddies bad! Is it weird that I had such a crush on Prince Eric? Yup - super weird. He was an animated character and I crushed on him like crazy. ANYHOOO.....

Here are the Disney, Ariel inspired wedding dresses. I really like the detailing on a couple of them.

Sea inspired colours for the bridesmaid dresses

And of course the mermaid style flower girl dress

You could go with a number of decor ideas for your reception. Blues, purples, greens - anything sea inspired - anything to make your guests feel like they are dining "Under da sea.."

Disney Inspired - Princess Jasmin

I loved Disney's Aladdin. It was more of a grown up kind of Disney movie - Robin Williams was brilliant as the voice of the Geenie - so funny.  The baddie (Jaffar) was super bad, Aladdin got the girl and of course that girl is Princess Jasmin. I also believe (and I could be wrong here) that Princess Jasmin was the first ethnic Princess in any kind of Disney animated film. 

So here's your Princess Jasmin Disney inspired wedding fun!

For reception ideas think intense jewel-tones, tents, rugs, lots of pillows...

Sister Friend Thursdays

I was doing a little research this weekend on different kinds of weddings and I came across this website called Offbeat Bride.  Offbeat Bride is the brain child of a Seattle author of 'Offbeat Bride; Creative Alternatives for Independent Brides', Ariel Meadow Stallings.

The site provides information and different ideas for various showers, stagettes and parties as well as some cool do it yourself projects for centerpieces like these frosted glass pieces, creating your own reception back drop, making brooch bouquets - even making your own 'Hello Kitty' garters.

There are also loads of real wedding photos and articles you can browse through to get your own ideas. After going through some of the pictures, there are certainly some very creative people out there. Check out this rainbow dress.

I also found this other photo of another wedding and I thought it was SO cute!!

When I saw THIS picture, I immediately thought of Big Sister and Fiancé!

I'm thinking Big Sister could spend hours on the site and come away pretty inspired.
