Ashridge House

Ashridge House

Did someone lose a glass slipper? Cinderella is a truly timeless Disney classic and we have found a wedding venue that features some of the details from this iconic animation. Situated amongst the lush meadows of Hertfordshire, Ashridge House is an enchanting wedding venue with over 700 years of history. One of their most popular wedding settings is The Grand Hall. This space's most fabulous characteristic is the stunning staircase; to exchange vows on, or to walk in through a striking entrance. In Cinderella, as the clock strikes midnight, Prince Charming follows Cinderella down a grand staircase, only to find her glass slipper. This venue is perfect if you want a magical, Cinderella-inspired venue for your fairytale wedding. It's also fit for a Princess!

Is Ashridge House the perfect venue for your wedding?

Grittleton House

Grittleton House

Imagine having a wedding so fun even the cutlery dances along with you! Beauty and the Beast is another magical Disney classic. The Beast is isolated in his huge, dark castle, situated in the middle of nowhere, but ends up becoming a beautiful, joyous setting for everyone. Grittleton House gives us major Beauty and the Beast vibes! This large manor house wedding venue is situated within 35 acres of Wiltshire parkland and has equally beautiful architectural features and facades. We think this wedding venue would be ideal for a Beauty and the Beast inspired wedding.

Hever Castle

Hever Castle Kent Wedding Venue

Star Wars fans, may the force be with you...on your wedding day! Jedi must not form attachments such as marriage, and we are not a fan of this Jedi Code! However, Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala took the risk of getting married, and tied the knot on Naboo in the Lake Country, which was the most isolated area of the planet. The breathtaking balcony and scenic views made us go straight to the beautiful Hever Castle in Kent. This wedding venue has stunning architectural features and is surrounded by 600 acres of countryside. So if you're wanting to get married in a secluded and private venue like Anakin and Padmé, then look no further; this magical venue is just perfect.

Deene Park Walled Gardens 

Marquee interior at Deene Park

Dumbo was one of the first ever Disney films created. This film really does pull on the heart strings as the baby elephant finds a magical ability to fly with his comically large ears. Even though the film does take us on a journey of ups and downs, we can't ignore that WDP Circus is a fascinating setting, and could inspire many to have a magical Disney wedding. Deene Park Walled Gardens has a permanent marquee within its beautiful grounds, and is perfect for an outdoor wedding in Northamptonshire. If you loved the draping circus tent in Dumbo, then this stunning marquee with a draped ceiling, along with the gorgeous backdrop of the Deene Park Estate, is wonderful for a fairytale venue.

Disney Inspired Wedding Dresses

Natasha - Sassi Holford

Princess Tiana and Bride wearing the same dress style

Disney princess Tiana from Princess and the Frog wears a stunning, strapless, sparkly blue gown. Tiana wears this dress just before she plants a kiss on her soon to be husband, Prince Naveen. The magical Disney moment happens in this dress and we have found something similar in this dazzling number from Sassi Holford in the style "Natasha". This dress features sparkling details on the skirt and a beautiful strapless neckline, just like Tiana's. Visit Ellie Sanderson's Beaconsfield Boutique to find your perfect Sassi Holford gown.

Lira - Eva Lendel

Elsa wearing the same dress as a bride

LET IT GO...wait, don't let this dress go! Elsa from Frozen is draped in this magnificent gown, and the cape is our favourite part of this dress. We have found a great alternative to this magical Disney dress, by Eva Lendel in the style "Lira". This mermaid dress has a removable veiling skirt which will give it the Elsa touch. You can find Eva Lendel gowns stocked at Ellie Sanderson's Woodstock Boutique

Zander - Maggie Sottero

Zander Maggie Sottero Dress similarity

"Life's full of tough choices, isn't it?"...Not if you're wanting a wedding dress that oozes Ursula-level sass and sophistication. Only the most fierce brides can pull off a black wedding dress and 'Zander' by Maggie Sottero is a show-stopping choice. We are obsessed with the long illusion sleeves and plunging neckline. Ursula is an iconic Disney villain who has a lust for power and an over-powering sense of confidence, which is why for your Disney inspired wedding day, 'Zander' is perfect for you. Find a Maggie Sottero stockist near you.

Tiana DP276 - Allure Bridals 

Princess Tiana Green Dress and a bride wearing a similar looking dress

One of Disney's magical moments was Tiana turning the frog back into Prince Naveen, in which she transforms into wearing this beautiful green lotus inspired dress. This Tiana dress from Allure Bridal's Disney collection is designed to be the perfect match! This stunning dress mirrors the neckline of Tiana's dress, along with gorgeous crystal encrusted dimensional florals and vine like appliques that sparkle and shimmer.

Mila - Sassi Holford

Mila and Sassy Halford dress similarities

"Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?". You will certainly be the fairest of them all in this stunningly elegant dress 'Mila' from Sassi Holford. This dress oozes power and sophistication, with the high neckline and dramatic long draped sleeves. Disney's famous villain, the Evil Queen, held a lot of power, despite being hated by many. Her dress is dark which reflects her personality, but with her turtle neck and cape, it gives her a certain type of finesse. The Sassi Holford dress mirrors this brilliantly, and will bring power and sophistication to your magical wedding day. Find a Sassi Holford stockist near you.

Premium Feather Hem Halter Neck Mini Dress - Coast

Tinker Bell mini dress with coast model wearing the same style of dress

The sassiest Disney fairy of them all, Tinker Bell. Tinker Bell is a sweet but feisty character and her outfit has mischievous written all over it. This Feather Hem Halter Neck Mini Dress from Coast displays a fun yet classy style. The quirky yet beautiful bow at the back of this dress mirrors Tinker Bells fairy wings. This dress is perfect for a second wedding dress at the reception so you're ready to show off all of your sassy moves on the magical dance floor. Buy this dress on Coast.

Blanc - Love and Liberty

Cruella Ellie Sanderson Dress similarity

Are you a fan of one of Disney's wickedest villains, Cruella? We can't deny that her fashion is eccentric, but this alluring black dress is beautifully figure hugging. 'Blanc' by Love and Liberty is a close match, and is stocked at Ellie Sanderson's Beaconsfield Boutique. This dress accentuate curves and is undeniably sleek with a v-neckline. If you love Cruella and want a Disney inspired wedding dress, then this is the perfect match for you.

DP252 Belle - Allure Bridal

Belle Disney Princess Wedding Dress

Beauty and the Beast is a beautiful romantic fairytale, so we understand exactly why you might want a Disney inspired wedding! Belle's yellow dress is iconic and the ruffled layers make this ballgown a real show-stopper. We have found this stunning dress 'Belle' from Allure Bridal's Disney Fairytale collection. The dress features a soft pickup, giving it an elegant fall and making it the perfect gown to give you that fairytale wedding you have always dreamed of. 

Orla - Stella York

Stunning Fishtail Wedding Dress

The Little Mermaid is a musical romance and we are obsessed with Ariel and Eric! Ariel does wear a beautiful pink dress but we also love her iconic mermaid tail. This fit and flare dress 'Orla' is absolutely stunning and we know that Prince Eric would approve. The shimmery material of this gorgeous gown mirrors Arial's enchanting mermaid tail. If you're having a Disney inspired wedding, you can find this dress in the Stella York range at Bicester Bridal.

Blair - Wilderly

Blair Wilderly

Is a villain really crucial in making a fairytale? Even though sometimes we despise them, they are extremely powerful and have a certain flair about them that keeps us intrigued. In this instance, we're obsessed with the flared sleeves on Mother Gothel's dress. We have found this elegant wedding dress 'Blair', design F231 by Wilderly which has magnificent flared sleeves. This dress really does all of the talking and if you're having a Disney inspired wedding, then why not have a breathtaking dress to match. Find this gown at TDR Bridal.
