I heard about Disney coming out with a line of wedding dresses based on Disney princesses, and I have to admit that my initial intention was to rip the idea to shreds. I'm a bit of an anti-Precious Moments type, and in my mind, Disney princesses were not what I would encourage any bride to emulate in real life. I much prefer couture to cartoon.
That was until I actually looked at the gowns, and now I'm going to go ahead and eat my words.
The dresses really are beautiful, and who can blame Disney for adding dresses to the already prosperous Disney Fairy Tale Weddings? While I wouldn't care to get married in Cinderella's castle, I can see the appeal. But I must say that these gowns are not meant for the Magic Kingdom.
Choices include Cinderella, Jasmine, Snow White, Ariel, Aurora, and Belle (lucky Belle actually gets two dresses -- I guess putting up with a beast pays off). They're not hokey or cartoonish. I'm torn in choosing a favorite between Belle #2 and Jasmine, and I really liked Ariel, too ...
These may not be the princess dresses you dreamed of as a little girl, but the updated styles can certainly help any bride to feel like a princess on her wedding day.
