If a princess were to throw a party, what would it look like?
Better yet, what would 12 princess parties look like?
As 2020 came to a close, it was hard not to imagine the wonderful holiday parties we would all normally be hosting.
That’s when I started thinking: what if we let someone else do the hosting?
Over the 12 days of Christmas, I decided to imagine what a Disney princess' holiday party would look like. From Snow White to Moana and everyone else in between, I put my visual storytelling and design skills to the test with 12 unique event mood boards inspired by the lovely ladies of Disney’s royal table. Gathering inspiration from luxury event vendors from the Greater Toronto Area, I based each design on the princess’ storyline, aesthetic, and visual style as a way of bringing each of their beautiful stories to life.
