2024 Disney Fairy Tale Wedding Collection Is Dark And I Love It

Disney fans rejoice! The 2024 Disney Fairy Tale Wedding Collection is out and this year the line is screaming villains! I don't remember how old I was when I went over to the 'dark side' but I know by age six, I was over being a Disney Princess. If you're like me and enjoy all the villains, this year's dresses are right up your alley.

In 2000, I married my first husband. I was 30 and he was 23. Looking back, I think we both knew we were too different to make a marriage work. That may be why we eloped in Charleston, S.C. For the wedding, he wore a suit, and I wore a black cocktail dress. For my second wedding, my mom made me get a wedding type dress. I'm not a white fan, so my dress was the color of coffee with cream. But my second husband wore all black with a red tie. We looked like an old school mob couple. I loved it.

Now, I know you should never say never, but the chances of me getting married a third time are REAL slim. That said, IF I were to walk down an aisle again, I'd want to wear one of these dresses. According to Good Morning America, this year's Disney Fairy Tale Wedding Collection is inspired by Disney villains. You know, the classic bad girls: Ursula, Maleficent, the evil Queen. Allure Bridal came up with themes that honor the classic bad girls, with all of the gowns in shades of black. LOVE!

If black isn't your thing, don't worry. This year's collection also comes in ivory if you're not with the villain theme. All of the dresses are different, and all pay tribute to four of the most popular Disney villains. Looking at the collection, I'd have to say that my favorite is the Maleficent gown. It's black but has a dark green velvet and lace appliqués overlaid across the organza of the gown. It's stunning!

There are new gowns in the 2024 collection that are more traditional, and not in black, and they're also stunning. If you're all about Disney and are planning on getting married this year, you should definitely check out the collection. See all of the dresses here. 

What would a wedding reception be without music? Whether the happy couple hires a band or a DJ, the right mix of songs can take the post-nuptial party from ordinary to epic. A new survey of 2,000 wedding guests reveals the 40 songs that should be on the playlist at the reception.

According to The Sun, “Dancing Queen” by ABBA, which was first released in 1976, took the top spot. ABBA actually made the list twice. You can see the top 10 based on the survey results below. Thankfully, "Macarena" is no where to be found. But I'm a little surprised Kool & The Gang's "Celebration" didn't make the cut.
