DISCLAIMER: THIS POST IS IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM MEANT TO BASH THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY, DISNEY FAIRYTALE WEDDINGS, OR DISCOUNT THE SERIOUSNESS OF COVID-19. THIS IS PURELY AN OUTLET FOR ME TO SHARE WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW AND SHARE MY STORY.

Today’s blog post has definitely not been easy to write. And the topic I am covering is definitely still fresh and new, so please bear with me. If you follow me on Instagram you may have already heard, and if you are a close friend or family member and just finding out via this blog post, I am sorry.

There is no question 2020 has been chaotic, and the last few months have brought numerous challenges for me in my personal life. But last week we reached the cherry on top of the cake that is 2020 – we made the decision to cancel our Disney wedding.

A few weeks ago, I found my wedding dress! We went shopping the weekend of my bridal shower – which was in mid-September – and I could not have asked for a better experience.

It was super important for me to have my best friend Gabby there, and since she was traveling in for the weekend it just made sense to do it now! Plus, most bridal shops recommend shopping between 6-9 months before your big day since getting the dress made can take a hot minute, especially right now with COVID. Needless to say, everything worked out perfectly!

Today I am doing something a bit different. This post won’t necessarily be about my wedding specifically, but it may be helpful for those of you who are interested in planning a Disney wedding of your own! I get so many questions on how to start planning a Disney wedding, so hopefully this post will answer some of those questions.

These tips are based off of my personal experiences. That being said, these details could be subject to change at any time. Regardless, this should still be helpful! These tips are not necessarily in a specific order – so do what is best for your timeline and situation.

I am back with another Q&A! I am always getting new questions for y’all regarding my wedding, so I’ll be doing these Q&A posts whenever I think it is necessary. I haven’t done one of these since we first got engaged, needless to say the questions are extremely different!

If there is a question that isn’t covered here, be sure to read through my other Wedding Planning Diaries to get caught up. If you still don’t see your question answered, feel free to DM me on Instagram or leave a comment!

Okay y’all, it has been SO HARD to keep the secret for the past few days… BUT WE GOT OUR WEDDING DATE!

We (jk actually Grant) wanted to wait until we signed our contract to publicly share, however considering that won’t be for about 2 weeks from now I can’t stand to wait anymore! But you could say that “The Force” was with us on May the 4th, because at 9:55 am we got an email from our wedding planner and we got EVERYTHING we wanted!
