Disney-Pixar UP Inspired Wedding Help!

I'm super far out from my wedding but want to start thinking about an overall "theme" and really could use some help.
First, here are a few pictures of my reception site-- The Palm Beach Zoo:









FI and I love love love Disney and one of our favorite movies is UP. For those who haven't seen the movie, the two main characters work at a zoo (!) and eventually the main character goes on an adventure to South America. It's a super cute movie and we'd love to find a way to incorporate it into our wedding.

Another couple did an UP themed wedding and I love it but don't think we could use any of their ideas (except the grade soda bouts. and the mailbox for a card holder) because it's much more vintage and rustic than the zoo allows. Here's a link to their pictures if anyone is interested (super cute wedding that I'd love to have!): http://wildflowersphotos.com/blog/james-lynnettes-wedding-up-up-amazing/

So, does anyone have any centerpiece, color, or reception ideas? It doesn't have to be UP related but I'd love to hear if anyone thinks UP could work in there.

Anything helps so throw whatever ideas you have at me!! Thanks!

    You gotta have lots of balloons and two worn out arm chairs for you and FI.

  • Walk down the aisle to the Michael Giacchino score from the movie, for starters.  I am seriously considering walking down the aisle to music he composed for LOST.  And balloons.  Like, everywhere.

  • I third doing lots of balloons.  Maybe put some on the floor and some on the tables so there is a tiered look.  Maybe do your guestbook like the adventure book in the movie, but personalize the pages for stuff that you and you're FI have done/hope to do.  Also, you could do an ice cream bar at the end with your cake. 

    PS-- Love the theme!  :)

  • for the tables you could have different characters with their pictures on them instead of numbers. maybe have the bridesmaids walk with ballons instead of flowers as well. love the theme by the way!

  • Wow, I just saw an Up! inspired wedding photoshoot, crazy!  Such a sweet movie (I only cried twice).

    Maybe you could focus on the travel aspect? 

    Here's the link, hope you find something useful!

    I too am having an UP inspired wedding. For you ladies who have already done it: any chance you would share some pictures?
