Wow! When we found out that Lee and Tiffany were planning a Beauty and the Beast themed wedding, we had NO IDEA it was going to be this amazing! They truly thought of everything! This enchanting Disney wedding was definitely straight out of a fairy tale.
For starters, The French Estate in Orange, California is the CUTEST, most charming intimate wedding venue. We were so excited to shoot Lee and Tiffany’s wedding here because we’ve never shot at The French Estate before.
Tiffany definitely thought of everything while planning this incredible celebration! From the roses on each table at the reception (thanks to the groom!), to the blue and yellow color palette, and even the elegant draping fabric throughout the venue, it really felt like we were immersed in the Beauty and the Beast world!
Lee and Tiffany, thank you so much for allowing us to “Be Your Guests”! We wish you the best and we can’t wait for all the many adventures that lie ahead for you both!
Lee and Tiffany’s Love Story:
1) How did you both meet? Who liked who first?
We met through a mutual friend at a country bar. Lee probably liked Tiff first.
2) Tell us about your first date. Who was more nervous? What did you guys do?
We went to a healthy restaurant at the Orange Circle that was terrible and we both had bugs in our salads. After that, we walked around the antique stores a little bit and then had tea at another restaurant with fire pits at the tables.
3) What’s the proposal story? Give us all the details! Who cried first?
Tiffany has always wanted a caricature at Disneyland. Lee happened to see something about secret caricature proposals on Youtube one day, and in that moment he knew that’s how he was going to pop the question! So, he arranged for a secret caricature proposal to ask her! When the artist was finished, he got on his knee and proposed. “There was a bridal party for another wedding watching (and oooing and ahhhing) who cheered afterward. Neither of us cried (sorry :P). Lee was hoping I would cry and I just “stared at him like he was an idiot”. Hahaha. He got choked up for one second.”
4) As you approach the wedding day, what have you both enjoyed most about the wedding planning process?
Uh…hahaha.
5) What has been the hardest part about planning your wedding?
We were forced to move unexpectedly, and the budget.
6) Why did you choose your particular wedding and reception venue?
It’s cute and vintage-like, totally my style. They were also open to us bringing in outside catering that would work with her food allergies and we didn’t like the time restrictions for the other place we considered.
7) Where did you draw some of your inspiration from for your wedding day?
Beauty & The Beast Disney Cartoon
8) Where are you going for the honeymoon?
Disney World because it’s the best!
