We’ve shared a look at just how much a Disney wedding costs, a peek at Disney wedding rings, and details about the NEW Disney princess-inspired wedding dresses. But just how many popular is it to have a Disney-themed wedding, or even a wedding-themed to some of the other things that now make up the Disney Company (like Star Wars)? Well, it seems these are MORE popular than you might expect!

According to a study done by engagement ring company Taylor & Hart, themed weddings are becoming a more popular thing! Taylor & Hart shares that “Google searches for ‘themed weddings’ are currently up 48% year on year.”

But just what are the most popular wedding themes? Well, that depends on where you look. Let’s start with Pinterest.

Could this be a product of those who watched Disney’s Star Wars-themed show, The Mandalorian, and got inspired by the things they saw? HELLO — Baby Yoda as a ring bearer?! Or arranging it so that you walk under a series of Lightsabers to exit the reception?! YES, YES, and more YES!

To help you on your Star Wars wedding planning journey, Taylor & Hart even designed a stormtrooper engagement ring and other Star Wars-themed wedding ring designs.
