With the aim of “bringing fairy tales to life” through weddings, honeymoons, vow renewals, and anniversaries at Disney locations around the globe, Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons is offering even more ways for couples to celebrate their wedding in 2022, including new venues, offerings, and fashions.
Providing couples with a personalized experience through products, services, and locations “that only Disney can provide” for over 30 years, the Disney global brand is taking its cue this year from several company milestones this year, including the Walt Disney World Resort 50th Anniversary celebration, the Disneyland Paris 30th Anniversary, and the launch of the newest Disney Cruise Line ship.
Here’s a look:
Walt Disney World
The Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary kicked off Oct. 1, 2021, with new attractions and entertainment as part of the 18-month-long celebration. Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons as debuted a new wedding venue for the festivities – Place de Remy, inside the newly expanded France Pavilion at EPCOT. The new venue evokes the feeling of France, inspired by the whimsy of the park’s newest attraction, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and includes the attraction marquee and the pavilion’s central fountain at its heart. Place du Remy is the newest of more than 50 wedding venues across the Walt Disney World Resort, from theme parks to resorts to a dedicated wedding pavilion.
Complementing the new venue, Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons offers other new and distinct ways for couples to bring the magic of the Walt Disney World Resort 50th Anniversary celebration to their events. Four new décor concepts are now available, modelled after the “EARidescent” glow of each of the four Walt Disney World Resort theme parks. Special food and beverages exclusive to The World’s Most Magical Celebration can also be incorporated into a Disney’s Fairy Tale Wedding during the 18-month-long festivities. Couples can also take wedding portraits in front of the Beacons of Magic at all four theme parks or celebrate with dessert parties and receptions during new nighttime spectaculars at Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT.
Disneyland Paris
A favourite for a Disney wedding is Disneyland Paris, and, in honour of the resort’s 30th anniversary this year, Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons is debuting a stunning new coach – the Disney Fairy Tale Carriage. The hand-crafted coach features 13,000 Swarovski crystals and more than 2,000 golden leaves. It is one of several enhancements – including live music, distinctly Disney entertainment, personalized menus and wedding cakes, and unique floral and décor – offered at a fabulous destination that’s just minutes from downtown Paris.
Disney Wish
When the newest Disney Cruise Line ship, the Disney Wish, makes her maiden voyage June 9, it will include a new Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons venue – the Grand Hall. Inspired by a fairytale castle and the ship’s design motif of enchantment, the Grand Hall will feature a magnificent staircase, shimmering wishing star chandelier and elegant royal blue and gold colour palette.
Bridal Collection Debuts
In 2020, Disney and Allure Bridals launched a sophisticated bridal line offering modern brides stunning, on-trend wedding gowns that capture the style and spirit of Disney Princesses. More than two dozen all-new dresses make up the 2022 Disney Fairy Tale Weddings Collection and 2022 Disney Fairy Tale Weddings Platinum Collection. Jasmine and Snow White-inspired gowns pay homage to the respective anniversaries of both beloved animated classic films. This year, Disney’s Aladdin celebrates its 30th Anniversary, while Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the very first Disney animated feature film, celebrates its 85th Anniversary.
The gowns created in celebration of these anniversaries were inspired by Jasmine and Snow White’s individual personalities and senses of style. The Jasmine Platinum gown sparkles with almost 14,000 beads and crystals – mesmerizing elegance softened by the floating silhouette of bishop sleeves. The design team modernized Jasmine’s look by incorporating a beaded appliqué to the shoulder and a cuff for the adventurous, modern bride.
Meanwhile, worthy of a modern fairytale, the Snow White gown glitters with more than 2,000 beads throughout and showcases an intricate train detail of floral appliqués, creating a dramatic finish. Designed with the classic and timeless bride in mind, this gown features a more traditional silhouette, including cap sleeves, a satin ballgown skirt, and soft floral details.
The 2022 collections will also include dresses inspired by Ariel, Cinderella, Jasmine, Snow White, Tiana, Aurora, Pocahontas and Rapunzel. All gowns are available in sizes 0 to 30, starting at US$1,799.
One-of-a-Kind Gown
In honour of the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebration, a one-of-a-kind gown is also part of this year’s collection. The limited-edition gown features a gorgeous bridal silhouette with 15,000 shimmering beads, 3,000 sparkling crystals, 167 total yards of fabric, and 129 yards of horsehair trim.
Virtual Fashion Show
The full collections of dresses were recently revealed during a virtual fashion show from Magic Kingdom Park, which can still be viewed on the Disney Parks YouTube channel. The 2022 Disney Fairy Tale Weddings Collections will be available at select bridal boutiques across Canada and the US.
