]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> I call bullshit on this, Jez. According to this site, nothing's wrong with going to chick-flicks that endorse this same "princess" mentality...but don't you dare literally dress as a princess. Bullshit.

Mr. Gretch and I skipped out on the big wedding, got married at the courthouse and used the money to buy a house instead.

bellethellama

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> Jennifer, darling, you sound bitter. Sure there's a lot of tulle and froof going on there but isn't that the case in every wedding collection out there? I'm sure other wedding designers have taken inspiration from much more ridiculous sources than the gowns of beautiful cartoon women. I think this designer should be commended for not desaturating the color in some Disney movie still shots and passing those off as wedding gowns. At least she used a little creative license with these looks.

shlovemonster

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> As completely lame/disturbing as I find the Disney Bride thing, some of those dresses are gorge. And I agree with previous comment re: not looking like the actual princess dresses, which I guess gives them a wider appeal?

I would be embarrassed to admit that I wore a Disney Princess dress, though.

snappletree

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> I'm already wed, and I've told Mr K if he ever has the urge to make a grand romantic gesture...NO second wedding, plz. Cruises, trips to Vegas, THAT's the romance I'm looking for! That said, if I were tying the knot, I wouldn't look to Disney for a gown. I used to work for Mickey back in the day, and they told me I was too "womanly" (read: BUSTY) to play a face character. So I think the chances of their designs accentuating my figure are not so good.

Mama Kinn

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> I like some of these but most are too skimpy for me. Never thought of myself as that modest though. Hmm.

I'm a disney kid so perhaps that's why when I first heard of this a year ago I thought "awesome!" Doesn't mean I'm getting married in one though.

dummyfakeroller

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> @LouLouDownUnder: I could be completely off base on this, but "Jasmine" or "Jasmine Bridal" is a wedding dress brand. So I think Disney might have to use "Disney's Princess Jasmine" to deliniate itself from the Jasmine bridal brand.

I might also mention that I hate what planning a wedding does to one's brain. I shouldn't know this stuff.

Gumbina80

nardo218

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> @bellethellama: Yeah, that apartment I bought? At 27? With my own money? That was the most important purchase of my life, hands down. A dress? Puh-lease. Priorities, people!

BeckySharper

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> I always liked Ariel's silver dress her father gives her when she walks out of the ocean at the very end. Can we get one of those?

nardo218

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> @BeckySharper: Gotcha--that's what I've gleamed from the show, but I was curious as how it may have compared to actually being there. They keep saying how buying the wedding dress is the most important purchase of your life--I dunno about you, but when I bought my first car it was a.) more expensive than my dress and b.) something I have to live with every day. I'll feel the same way when I look for a house to buy. And salespeople need to STFU about "planned" bridal diets (but as you said, that's another thread).

bellethellama

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> @rocknrollunicorn: Her yellow dress was gorgeous, I wish they'd done a modernized version of that. People DO get married in colors! They should have done a dress in each princesses' color, as Disney merchandising has assigned them. I love Ariel's seafoam, and plenty of women would be married in Cindy's baby blue or Sleeping Beauty's shell pink.

... swear to god, I haven't stepped foot in the disney store in a decade, it's just THAT INSIDIOUS that I remember the color scheme.

nardo218

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> @bellethellama: I think the thing that makes me queasy about Kleinfeld's is the fantasy they're selling, which is basically Disney Princess for adults. It's this notion that on one special, special day, you get to wear a fairytale dress and be a princess and it's somehow the specialest moment of your whole entire life, even if you've got an M.D., a J.D., a Pulitzer Prize, whatever. It's infantilizing.

Also, the salesgirl asked my friend, who is at most 130 lbs "how much weight are you going to lose?" But I think we discussed the whole bridal-rexia thing in an earlier post.

BeckySharper

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> I . . . don't get it. They don't remind me of anything to do with the movies, the characters, or the fairy tales. They look like ordinary ugly wedding dresses.

nardo218

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> All this wear-it-once white. Still claiming to be a virgin on the altar? But WHY? I just don't understand the white wedding concept. Especially when most brides are living with the groom. The Disney princess theme is not far off from the actual traditional wedding theme: princess for a day. If you really believe in all the symbolism you're decked out in, fine. But otherwise, aren't you just living out an expensive fantasy in order to get some great kitchen appliances? Go all out and be a princess--wear some royal purple.

Annika-Lux

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> The dresses supposedly start at a mere $1,100, and go up to $3,500. If I am going to spend that much to look like Cinderella, I sure as hell better get a fairy godmother to go with it.

MissMel

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> My wedding dress was 10000x more princessy than any of these. Pathetic, Disney, I'm disappointed in you. I expected huge and poufy and sparkly with insane bows and ribbons, like everyone else has said.

I just had a high school friend find me on Facebook - and now I get to look at her wedding at Disneyworld pictures. I love Disney, but not enough to sell out the most meaningful day of my adult life. Then it's just a production, not a wedding.

brassinpocket

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> Truly I don't see much diff between these and most non-Disney bridal dresses. Some of these are pretty, some aren't. You sound a tad to critical because it's Disney.

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> ooh that would be amazing if the cinderella dress came in blue. My grandma wore a pale blue gown to her 1949 wedding. She thought she looked totally different and rad, but everyone else at the wedding just whispered "NOT A VIRGIN" as she walked down the aisle. I wish I could wear her dress to my own hypothetical wedding (it's gorgeous), but she threw it in a box and left it in her basement, only finding it three years ago, whereupon she expressed surprise that it hadn't been thrown out yet. I love ladies who don't go to pieces about their weddings - it's just a day!

@BeckySharper: I cannot handle bridal salons of any sort--I spent an hour trying on short versions of J.Crew dresses one Saturday afternoon with one of my best GFs in the store, and afterwards we went out to lunch and I had a Manhattan.

cargirl86

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> What is wrong with a dress with sleeves? Not every bride has the triceps to pull off a sleeveless gown. And some brides have terrible scars on their upper arms from when they were burned accidentally as a child and although they are not ashamed of said burn scars, they would also not like their wedding day to be all about highlighting the unhideable burn scars in a sleeveless dress which is very difficult because it is IM-fucking-POSSIBLE to find a decent dress with sleeves these days.

Why can't a dress accentuate my perfect breasts AND hide my scarred arms at the same time? Why???

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> @LeggoMyEggo: That collection could be for mothers of the groom.

And I like the third Belle one.

Is there a way for me to make money off of such fabulous ideas?

Gumbina80

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> @hortense: Couldn't we also over examine the other way and see her as a girl who flees the tyrannical world of her father the only way possible. OK I'll admit I made that up, but she does save the prince and she's pretty brave. I don't know, when I was five I thought it was very cool. I just like it, always have, probably always will.

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> These dresses aren't nearly as wacky as some of the ones featured on TLC's Say Yes to the Dress that follows brides and bridal consultants around Kleinfelds in NYC. They have a house designer whose dresses "surprisingly" get a lot of airtime even though they look like this and cost northwards of $6k:

[www.kleinfeldbridal.com]

The designer actually has some nicer dresses, but the featured brides are all in love with sheer corsetry for some reason...

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> @soofthemoment: Don't look for "bridal gowns" -- hire somebody to design exactly what you want in whatever color you love, look at regular gowns, or even consider looking at bridesmaid dresses. Take the "bridal" (and the white) out of anything and it becomes much cheaper and much more sane.

My sister's dress was gorgeous and free through a ridiuclously unfair series of events. Like a $14,000 handbeaded swarvorski crystal designer gown. le sigh. it was gorge, she was gorge, but i like the simple j.crew dress.

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> There was an interesting article a while back (can't recall if it was here or elsewhere) about the Disney wedding phenom.

They're a little more pricey than typical maids dresses, but they're really well-made. Good luck!

magiciannamedgob

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> @Lymed: no such thing as a "requirement." it's your wedding, you get to do whatever you want! i think having more than one "color" looks way better than picking one and sticking to it for every element.

Since then I've helped other friends shop for more traditional dresses, and on occassion I've gotten the niggling feeling that perhaps I should have gone that route. But then I tried on my dress when I was home this weekend, and happily it erased all doubt. They're a great option if you don't want to spend a ton and don't mind something more simple, because they're made from silk and don't have beading or rhinestones that don't always look as good on a cheaper dress.

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> given that they look like any other standard-issue wedding dresses, i can only assume that the disney branding just means that they cost twice as much. and are probably made out of ripstop nylon, or something.

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> @sarah.of.a.lesser.god: I can't help but go traditional with a shade of white. I can't actually wear pure white without getting washed out. But I've been playing with the idea of some red accents on the dress since my ring is a ruby instead of a diamond. But then that requires red flowers, and I don't want red flowers.

These only look like their respective princess if you already know it's supposed to. Otherwise, it's any given gown. I mean, c'mon. If I have such an obsession with Belle as to want to look like her on my wedding day, I'd like to look like her, yellow gown and all.

I'd have my mom sew those types of straps on that dress, because knowing me it would fall down somehow. So pretty. Much more of a princess dress.

I get hives at the thought of the virginal white gowns, so I'm going to go with one of those two options if I get married.

Hint: if you don't tell the dressmaker that it's a wedding dress, you'll likely be charged non-wedding dress prices. Just say it's for a big party or something.

BeckySharper

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> If that's what these brides want (and can afford without going into ridonkulous debt) more power to them.

I agree, our society places too much emphasis is on the wedding and not the marriage. Bridezillas are frakking annoying and negate many positive feminist strides. But the constant mocking of brides 'round here just reeks of ...dare I say... jealousy?

ceejeemcbeegee

]]> <![CDATA[Disney Bridal: For The Fairy Princess In None Of Us]]> When I first heard about this scheme, I was hoping they'd basically just reinterpret the outfits from the movies - I was specifically hoping for Belle's ball gown, just in white. But none of these dresses remind me of the princesses. They're not horrible, but not special, either.
