If you love everything about fairy tale endings, from swoon-worthy ballgowns to enchanting carriage rides into the sunset, we've got a few ideas for you. There are subtle ways to tie the magic you love about your favorite Disney movies into your wedding day without going over the top—or being too cliché.
Did you grow up fascinated by Beauty and the Beast's enchanted rose? Hello centerpiece inspiration. Maybe Alice In Wonderland is sparking some cocktail hour ideas (think: calligraphed "drink me" straw tags). Here are 19 ways to elevate sweet Disney details into wedding-worthy decor.

Add a play on words into your wedding invitation suite that nods to a magical evening. A phrase like "Dinner and enchantment to follow" is sophisticated yet wondrous.
