Planning a wedding can be one of the most magical times in our lives. This winter join Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings with hosts tWitch and Allison Holker who help couples have the wedding of their dreams.
This year’s stunning and romantic weddings at Walt Disney World Resort will feature a spectacular “Mary Poppins Returns” theme and a special performance by country music superstar Martina McBride.
You may not be able to get to the Magic Kingdom for your big day but here are 7 ways to create an enchanted day!
- Lights can add a magical ambiance to your theme. With hanging lights create falling snow in the night sky. These can be hung on walls, windows, doors, floors, ceilings, grasses, christmas trees etc.
- Every princess sings with her animal friends, include a dove release in your ceremony.
- Flower girls create an Awww factor when surrounding the bride, making her feel like a true princess!
- Take ballroom dancing lessons and be twirled round the floor like a true princess
- Wear a tiara! Every princess should have a tiara that sparkles as much as her! This tiara (on my daughter) became a family heirloom and will be passed down to all the girls!
- Long tables with romantic decor will set a regal atmosphere
- Rent a horse or unicorn for your wedding day photos- yes this can be done!

We sat with Allison and tWitch to talk about the holidays. The dynamic duo, who met on So You Think You Can Dance, may be creating holiday magic for others but they have their own holiday traditions at home that they shared with us.
First let me say that they were so much fun and we laughed and even danced. They’d be perfect guests at your holiday party! Allison shared that like many women, she loves to have more than one Christmas tree. One for the family and themed trees throughout the house. We laughed as we shared that although we let the kids (and hubby) decorate the tree, we always go back and adjust the ornaments and ribbons but don’t tell.
tWitch confirmed this, “I even looked at the tree yesterday, and I thought, like, man, those ornaments look great. They’re so perfect, I know that I hung some of those, right? Like, everything looks really perfect right now.”
I LOVE the look on his face when he finds out his suspicions were correct. Oh tWitch, trust me, in a few years you’re not going to feel slighted, you’ll roll with it. As The Sicilian (my hubby) says “30 years ago he was 6’2″ but after being with me for 30 years, he’s a beaten man” In other words, he gets what’s important to me.
Besides both being beautiful, their personalities are fun and down to earth. They truly love giving these amazing opportunities to people!
Allison and tWitch also shared how Allison collects nutcrackers but she’s keeping herself in check by getting only one each year.
Allison tells us about being a part of Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings
“Being able to be a part of other people’s lives and celebrate their wedding, which is like one of the biggest things that they’re gonna experience in their lives is really, really special. It really bonds us with these people, and we really get to know them and we get to be a part of this monumental moment with them, and it kinda makes us feel that we relive our marriage and our wedding…………….We then surprise them with something really, really epic.”
It’s Disney, it’s love, and it’s magic all coming together in one thing. ~Allison
