THE LOW-DOWN

Vanessa and Timothy’s Orlando Disney wedding was truly magical, and we were so excited to be a part of it! This sweet California couple held their dream wedding ceremony at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion followed by an unforgettable reception at the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve. They then topped off their Disney wedding celebration with an EPCOT Dessert Party that completely wowed their guests. It all came together exactly as the couple envisioned it!

We thought Vanessa and Timothy’s blush pink and soft blue wedding color scheme was soft and romantic, ideal for an Orlando Disney wedding. We also enjoyed the unique and thoughtful choices they made, such as bringing in a live painter for their reception and giving their guests custom cookies as favors. These were details that really made their event stand out!

Vanessa looked just like a Disney princess. She wore two different spectacular wedding gowns, pearl-covered Jimmy Choo wedding shoes, and a crystal tiara with a cathedral length veil. And she wasn’t the only Disney-themed part of this celebration! The couple had custom Disney-themed ceremony programs, the flower girls carried pink Mickey pomanders tied with aqua ribbons, Cinderella’s carriage greeted the bride at the Wedding Pavilion and another horse-drawn Cinderella-style carriage greeted her at the WDW Swan, their place cards were Disney Fast Passes, and their table names were Disney rides. Vanessa and Timothy captured the essence of an Orlando Disney wedding to perfection!

WHAT WE LOVED

The Just Marry! team so enjoyed working with Vanessa and Timothy on their amazing Orlando Disney wedding! We asked their Just Marry! wedding planner, Ellis, to share some details about this event, and here is what she had to say:

What role did our team play on the wedding day?

Vanessa and Timothy’s wedding day had many incredible elements and moving parts! I partnered with them as an addition source of planning and coordination support for their ceremony at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion, their reception at the WDW Swan Reserve’s Vue Ballroom, and their Epcot Dessert Party that night. I also helped with their pre-planning, and was there for whatever they needed on the day-of. Our team helped with décor set up, greeting guests, and being there to encourage the beautiful bride right before she walked down the aisle. This is truly a wedding I will never forget!

Were there any planning hiccups you helped address for the couple?

Yes! The couple didn’t initially book their ceremony at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion, so when they decided they really wanted to do that, I helped navigate them through the process, notifying all of their vendors, obtaining new contracts, and ensuring it was exactly as they envisioned in the end!

What was something about this event that really stood out to you?

Photos with Mickey and Minnie in their 50th anniversary costumes! This was so sweet and special to experience. The couple absolutely LOVED this!

Tell us about a moment during the wedding that truly touched your heart.

This is a tough one, as I have two! First were their personal vows. Those always get me emotional! The second was their first look. It was SO SWEET! Timothy’s reaction was so authentic, excited, and pure awe as he saw his bride. It was precious!

What modern or trendy elements did the couple include?

Vanessa and Timothy had a white light-up dance floor, which was so cutting edge!

What fun traditions did the couple celebrate?

THe cake cutting! They got to cut two amazing cakes. They cut one custom cake at the Swan Reserve with a crystal Mickey and Minnie cake topper, and then a second cake at the Epcot Dessert Party.
