No matter how much time goes by, we just can’t seem to let go of our love for Frozen and its unstoppable heroine, Queen Elsa. We’re not the only ones, either. Even though spring is finally upon us, next year’s winter brides are already getting inspired by everything from beautiful blue gowns to faux-snow centerpieces that look like they came straight out of Elsa’s ice palace. Here, we’ve pulled together 15 ideas for planning the ultimate FrozenDisney Princess wedding IRL. And even if you can’t go tie the knot in Arendelle or add Olaf to the guest list, it’s bound to be a cool affair.
