2. The Little Mermaid, for Bright and Colourful Ocean Vibes
Ariel was my favorite Disney princess through my entire childhood, no doubt. She’s beautiful, has red hair, sings like an angel and is a mermaid. ‘Nuff said.

Bride style: Choose a gown with a mermaid cutting and a sweetheart neckline with embellishments around the bustier area. A brush/court lacy train would be perfect to simulate Ariel’s tail.

For your makeup, have your eyes drawn bigger with the magic of eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow, because, contrary to what most believe was her voice, Ariel’s big gorgeous eyes is the reason why Eric fell in love with her. ;)
Wedding Cake: Carve fondant seashells over a white base cake.
Tablescapes: Sequined table cloths would be perfect to represent the scales of Ariel’s beautiful tail.
