Inspired By This Real Wedding, Here’s How You Can Have A Beauty & The Beast Themed Wedding

“She warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within.” – Beauty & The Beast

 

Even today, there’s magic in the ‘tale as old as time’; the idea of falling in love with the person inside rather than simply what you see on the outside, and overcoming the odds to be together, still resonates just as much today, as it did then.

The bride met her groom when she was on a holiday in Nigeria. A rendezvous that started as a casual pleasantries exchange in a Church turned into a full-fledge fairytale over messages and calls. The wedding took place on the 12th of December, 2020 in Nigeria and witnessed 1200 guests in total over 3 ceremonies. The wedding had three celebrations – Wedding Ceremony, Reception and After Party. #MJ2020 and #MJEasyLove.

Miriam and Jerry’s wedding was their own magical version of Beauty and the Beast. The couple drew inspiration from the Disney film and created their own day of love, beauty, and fun. We are feeling inspired by this Belle and her beast, so here’s how you can incorporate this theme at your wedding!

 

 

 

Warm Welcome: If you are planning a wedding worthy of Belle and her cohorts, you’ll need to make your guests feel truly welcome. This signage greets them warmly and makes them feel that they’re an important part of your day.

 

 

Adorn the entrance gate with lush flowers: The ceremony took place in the garden where it was decorated with pretty floral elements and its accessories. A door leading to the aisle and then to a background of sheer drapes gave a dreamy touch.

 

 

Red Rose: You can’t have a Beauty and the Beast-inspired wedding without including the all-important red rose. The groom channeled the beast in a black tux with a single rose boutonniere.

 

 

Hello Lumière! Make Lumière proud by lining your tables with candelabras and gilded touches that as shown here!  Embellish your tables with dramatic candlesticks to add instant opulence, drama and romance to your reception.

 

 

Timeless throne: What’s a royal wedding without a throne? Once the ceremony is done, behold the throne with your ‘beauty’ and rule the kingdom of your love forever!

 

 

“Tale As Old As Time” isn’t just a timeless tune — it’s also the perfect choice for your first dance as a couple. The Belle was found dancing with her prince charming in the ballroom as the evening unfolded itself with moments of joy and laughter across the face of guests.
