Rustic Beauty and the Beast wedding-IDEAS!

Since you say you don't want it too based on the movie, i'm not sure if you want beauty and the beast or french country. i google imaged french country wedding and the images are beautiful. based on these images i'd suggest:

Venue: vineyard or outdoor park, woods setting

Table Decor: long tables as opposed to rounds, white linens, dark wildflowers in clear vases, accents of gold in the plates, place cards, or whereever

Bridesmaids: maybe cream, rose pink or raisin, and flowy like in Jane Austen movies?

What do you think? ivory, rose and gold with dark wood as the base

That would be really pretty!! And I can totally picture being able to work that all together!

Yeah I love Beauty and the Beast and I would love to incorporate some details from it on my decor (like the roses/flowers in the vases, and have like candles and old vintage tea sets?) I just don't want to go over the top with say like big yellow dresses or anything to "Disney" i guess. Since it takes place in France, thats where I got the idea for the romantic, french country look Almost fairytale like!

And yes to flowy dresses! I love that soft vintage look

Ooh and then I can play up the "Be Our Guest" for invites and such!

Sounds awesome! I did a beauty and the beast wedding, but it wasn't obvious that it was b&tb.

I'll post some pictures for you... just a mintue while I get some.

I think it sounds beautiful. If you want to include teacups, either they can be vases or decor scattered in the centerpieces and on the side tables, or my friend did a vintage wedding before it was a trend and she collected floral china from thrift stores to be her dinner china. it was a buffet so each seat had a mismatched dinner plate, dessert plate, teacup and saucer already set up when you sat down. i think it could be expensive to collect though if you didn't have a plan to reuse it or sell it afterwards. but you could definitely find some teacups at thrifts and yardsales for the decor.

Picture of our ceremony decor.

Table setting and centerpiece. All the flowers were fake. Lots of red roses.

The sign outside of our cermeony (we didn't do programs). The frame my mom had from an old picture, and the inside is a poster I had made for us.

Book card box that I made.

Our super awesome book cake!

Wedding party. The colours we used were midnight blue (worn by the wedding party), red (roses and accents and worn by my husband), gold (this was present in the venue), and ivory (also part of the venue)

If you like the idea of tea cups, google "tea cup centerpieces" and you'll see some AWESOME ideas. I almost went with a centerpiece like that, but I didn't have the time to put something like that together.

Your wedding was beautiful!! I lovelovelove the gold touches throughout! And yes lots and lots of roses, you have to have roses for beauty & the beast What colors did you do for the wedding party?

I love the idea of mismatched china! I'll have to start thrifting and yard sale-ing! Maybe to save some cost I could just do it for the wedding party or something? Everyone is so hot for the "vintage" look its hard to find things quick enough! haha but it looks so pretty!

Oops I replied before seeing the rest! haha I love how you did your colors and everything! I like that you can tell its beauty and the beast without it being to obvious.

Thanks. ^_^

For the wedding party we went with a midnight blue ... ish. You can see them in the last picture I posted. The girls had floor length blue dresses and the guys were in tuxes with blue vests and blue pocket squares.

I got the colour idea from the movie. When the castle is cursed it's very dark blue.. navy, midnight blue, royal blue etc. It's a great colour that's not obviously part of the movie.

Also, here is a picture that gave me some inspiration when I was planning. It's abit more rustic which might be what you are looking for. Sorry it's not very high res, I can't find the exact image I used.

I really like A&G's simple white table with the tall red rose. very dramatic and definitely reminds me of the movie in a good way

Thanks all!

It was gorgeous! I really like the tall single roses too!

Thank you for all the awesome ideas ladies!!

LOVE the idea of a beauty and the beast inspired wedding! I might be biased since it's my all time favorite disney movie, though.

A&G, yours turned out great! And Kelsey, please keep posting pics as you take on some of the DIY aspects along the way! :-)

Thank you! It's my favorite too! And I definitely will!!

Just wanted to share that FH played Chip on Broadway from Dec '94- Dec '96. (I like to brag about him.) We're toasting with B&B flutes that his mom saved.

That's so cool!! That's an awesome idea to! What a cool keepsake. I've always wanted to see it on broadway some day!

You can have red roses under glasses like this: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/138907969729196949/

and alternate between these and add little teacups: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/521010250611546117/

Good luck!
