Fairy Tale Wedding Dress (Almost Literally)



Jasmine Wedding Gown by Alred Angelo



 "We are excited to use our expertise to fulfill the dreams of brides everywhere who long to feel like a princess," says Michael Picone co-owner and Chief Creative Officer of Alfred Angelo.  Well, here's a new twist for the dress part of it.  Working with a Disney design team, wedding outfitter Alfred Angelo has just created a series of wedding dresses inspired by the Disney Princesses: Ariel, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Snow White, and Tiana (Princess and the Frog). 

Disney Fairy Tale Weddings collection  is a series of seven dresses.  Each gown has similarities to the inspiring princess's character, culture, and overall appearance.  While these gowns take their inspirations from Disney, there's enough uniqueness within each design to prevent  guests from recognizing you as a direct princess impersonator.  For example, Ariel's dress takes a mermaid-style cut, pearl beading, and sequin sparkles.  Cinderella's dress relies on lots of sparkles in reference to her glass slipper.

Disney released this showcase of the new collection:

This brand new collection just debuted October 2, 2010 at Chicago's Bridal Expo.  It will be available at Alfred  Angelo Signature stores and select Alfred Angelo wholesale Partner Bridal Boutiques next year.  Sizes will range 0 to 30W and prices  $599 to $1,199.   For more information on this unique trend and twist, visit http://www.disneybridal.com/.
