Want to be part of their world?

Dreams do come true, especially for women who grew up dreaming of a fairy tale wedding modeled after their favorite Disney Princess character. Alfred Angelo and Disney recently debuted their first collection of bridal gowns, Disney Fairy Tale Weddings by Alfred Angelo, at the National Bridal Market in Chicago.

Marking their first collaboration, the bridal gown collection is inspired by the essence, style and personality of seven iconic Disney Princess characters: Ariel, Aurora/Sleeping Beauty, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Snow White and Tiana.

“This collaboration is a wonderful testament of two long-standing, established and respected industry leaders…the magic and storytelling heritage of Disney and the internationally renowned bridal fashion of Alfred Angelo,” says Michele Piccione, co-owner and Chief Creative Officer of Alfred Angelo. “For 75 years, our product has been known for great style, quality and affordability. We are excited to use our expertise to fulfill the dreams of brides everywhere who long to feel like a Disney Princess.”

“Every bride wants to be a princess on her wedding day, and through this collaboration with bridal fashion experts Alfred Angelo, we can now extend the reach of the Disney Fairy Tale Weddings brand and make beautiful Disney Princess-inspired gowns accessible to all brides at a broad retail distribution and affordable prices,” says Pam Lifford, executive vice president, global fashion and home, Disney Consumer Products.

Acclaimed Alfred Angelo designer Michael Shettel designed the Disney Fairy Tale Weddings by Alfred Angelo gowns. Michael has a keen eye for trends and the ability to translate that vision into beautiful gowns. As a result, Michael sought to capture every girl’s fantasy of feeling like a princess on her wedding day, while being inspired by the magic and identity of each Disney Princess. With each gown, brides can showcase their personal style. The collection includes classic, grand ball gowns in layers of tulle and sparkle net, updated fit and flare styles to highlight curves and movement, and pleated and wrapped bodices to flatter the bride’s figure.

The treasures of the sea inspired Ariel’s gown. The mermaid silhouette features re-embroidered lace, pearl beading, and sequin sparkles.

Aurora/Sleeping Beauty’s gown is romantic with a dreamy, willowy skirt for this slumbering princess.

Belle’s wedding dress, with a draped waistline is inspired by the iconic ballroom dance scene from the film and focuses on making a grand entrance.

Cinderella’s gown radiates with sparkle as its inspiration is the fairy tale’s enchanted glass slipper.

Jasmine’s wedding dress conveys freedom and individuality and as a result her shimmering soft satin gown is exotic with a bejeweled neckline and low cut back.

Snow White’s dress is inspired by nature, beauty and grace like the Disney Princess character herself.

The regal, one-shoulder taffeta gown for our newest princess, Tiana, reflects her independent spirit with an asymmetric bodice and ruched skirt.

The Disney Fairy Tale Weddings by Alfred Angelo collection will be available in sizes 0 to 30W, at all Alfred Angelo Signature stores in 2011.  All gowns will be priced $599 to $1,199.

Wedding Date: August 08, 2009

Photography by Chuck Roberts Photography

Tell us a little about you and your beloved:  We met in high school, but we only had one class together, and we didn’t keep in touch after graduation. We randomly ran into each other almost five years later at a dive bar – and have been inseparable ever since!

What was the most amazing part of your day?  The venue and the photography! We both knew we wanted to get married outside, and as soon as we saw the golf course at Whitney Oaks, we knew we had found our wedding site! Chuck and Mackenzie (with Chuck Roberts Photography) did a great job with the pictures, and the scenery was breathtaking!

What else would you like to share about your big day?  Everything flowed so nicely on our wedding day! Our photographers put together a schedule for us, and worked with our wedding coordinator to make sure that everything was taken care of. The pressure and stress was taken off of our hands and we were able to enjoy our big day!

What’s that I hear? It’s Dazzling Dress Thursday? Then let’s bring on the gowns!

We’re crazy about Alfred Angelo gowns. With so many of their gorgeous dresses on our minds lately (have you seen the current issue of Real Weddings Magazine featuring some of their gowns in our cover model finalist photo shoot?!), we just couldn’t resist sharing another of their beautiful offerings with you.

Here we have a mermaid style showstopper in iridescent satin with metallic embroidery, crystal beading, sequins and rhinestones. The gown, from the Alfred Angelo Sapphire Collection, is designed with a semi-cathedral train and comes with optional beaded straps. In this stunner you could easily walk down the aisle and onto the red carpet!
