Sleeping Beauty Pavilion, Disneyland Hotel

The Disneyland Hotel houses various different venues for both wedding ceremonies and receptions. One of the most popular locations at the hotel is the Sleeping Beauty Pavilion. It is easy to see why many brides choose this ballroom, it's beautiful! There are large open windows that go around the room, a fancy chandelier in the center of the room and the circular shape of the venue adds a sense of intimacy and coziness to any reception set-up. 

The Sleeping Beauty Pavilion back during renovations. Disney had frosted the windows to prevent guests from viewing the pool construction outside. The windows are now clear and look out onto the Disneyland Hotel pool. 

I also like how the decor shows the "swag" fabric around the room. I know this is an extra add on, but it does add some extra "style" to the room. I also really like the lanterns in the center of the room, creative.

Two set-ups of night receptions. I love the twinkle lights added into the drapery. It adds a nice light to the room making it very romantic.

As pretty as the Sleeping Beauty Pavilion is at the Disneyland Hotel, my heart is still set on the Grand Ballroom at the Disneyland Hotel. The Pavilion venue is great for a smaller wedding and when going for a "cozy" atmosphere. 

Disney Wedding Cake ideas, Disneyland Weddings

Disney wedding cake overload tonight. My last post was all about cake toppers and I wanted to carry that theme over into this next post which is all about fairy tale wedding cakes.

This cake is fun and whimsical. I like the topsy turvy look to it, very Disney. I am still debating on my color scheme, but these colors seem to go nicely on this cake.

 Simple Mickey Mouse cake. I like the Mickey dot pattern around the cake, but I would change the topper to something else, maybe a Mickey and Minnie topper?

Fancy Mickey Mouse wedding cake. I love the quote on the cake, along with the Mouse ear topper and fancy Mickey pattern flowing around the tiers.

"And they lived happily ever after" cake. This is a front runner for cake designs. It is elegant, clean and Disney all at once. I like the castle topper, too.

Disney Castle cake. Another version of the castle cake, this time there is no writing, but the details are just as nice.

So many cake options, I do not know how I will be able to choose just one design, they are all so "magical".

Mickey and Minnie Cake toppers, Disneyland Weddings

Mickey and Minnie Mouse are the icons of Disney and a staple of Disneyland weddings, so why not incorporate them onto a Disney wedding cake? I was searching for some cake toppers and came across these cute Mickey and Minnie figurines that can also be used as potential cake toppers.

A Jim Shore Mickey and Minnie. It might be big for a cake topper but maybe it can be used as part of the cake table decorations?

I love how elegant this Mickey and Minnie topper looks. 

Mickey Mouse carrying Minnie? I really like this figurine.

So as you can see, there are lots of fun and different options to choose from when it comes to Disney style cake toppers. We are still a long way away from even choosing our cake design, but it is nice to know that there are lots of options when it comes to adding in a hint of Mickey and Minnie to our cake.

Disneyland Weddings, Disneyland Hotel Grand Ballroom

The Disneyland Hotel seems to be the hub of a lot of Disney Fairytale weddings. One spot that seems to really have a dazzle factor is the Grand Ballroom at the hotel. It is a very large and elegant location and does not seem to need a lot of extras to make it look great.

Disneyland Hotel's Grand Ballrom sure does have an elegant feel to the space.

I stumbled on this beautiful Disneyland Hotel Grand Ballroom reception on a Disney Weddings website. I loved how fun and sophisticated their wedding looked.

The colors of yellows give the room a great pop. 

A wedding cake with Mickey Mouse? How cool! I also love the lighting of the room in this picture.

How pretty is the ballroom's chandelier? It is stunning, a picture perfect backdrop for any reception

The Grand Ballroom is now on the short list of possible future Disney wedding locations. I think the Disneyland hotel has such a great variety of areas to choose from, all with their own look and feel to them. The hotel is definitely a great choice for any Disney bride.

Disneyland Weddings, Disney Inspired Princess dresses

Disney teamed up with bridal gown maker, Alfred Angelo to come up with a collection of wedding gowns inspired by the Disney princesses like Ariel, Tiana, Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White and of course, Belle! Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite animated movies so it is fitting that I am in love with her dress.

So much intricate detail on the bodice. 

The dress truly screams, Belle. So pretty.

This may be the perfect wedding gown...

It is still so early in my wedding planning stages that I am sure I will gush over a million more dresses, but this one has definitely captured my heart!

Disneyland Wedding, Cinderella Coach

Disneyland wedding's Cinderellla's coach is beyond words beautiful. The coach is the perfect princess touch to any wedding and to arrive in such a fairytale way to a wedding would be a dream come true.

What a way to arrive to your wedding ceremony. Photo from the Festival of Brides.

I need to double check the pricing on this feature as I am hearing that it is well about $2,000 to use the coach! Crazy how pricey Disney wedding features can be, but the memory of arriving to your wedding like a true princess must be priceless. 

I don't know if my fiance will be happy with spending such a huge amount on something like a wedding coach, but you never know, wedding dreams may come true....

Disneyland Wedding Locations, Rose Court Garden

There are so many Disneyland wedding locations to choose from that seem to fit every size and budget for any couple. Here is a pick of mine for a potential ceremony venue.

Rose Court Garden at the Disneyland hotel. This seems to be the a popular ceremony spot for Disney brides and grooms and I can see why. I used to walk by this little garden area when my family and I would visit the Disneyland resort and think that it was so pretty. There is a time of the year where the roses all bloom together and it creates a beautiful backdrop for the garden. I also really like the white gazebo at the end of the aisle. It looks like you do not even need a lot of decorations or flowers to dress up the garden area, it is pretty as is.

A ceremony set up with fewer decorations. Still very pretty.

Night time picture of the Rose Court Garden. Very dramatic.

You can see the roses in bloom int his photo. The night ceremony set up is so pretty.

As you can see from the pictures, this is a very beautiful ceremony location. I think I really like the night set up, it really adds something special to the area. My fiance is not too keen on night weddings, but I have a feeling that I may be able to sway him into liking this location. This is definitely a favorite of mine.
