The Disney Fairy Tale Weddings Collection, created in collaboration with Allure Bridals, features a total of 16 wedding gown styles in different silhouettes and fabrics. The designs all capture “the style and spirit of Disney Princess characters such as Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Jasmine, Cinderella, Pocahontas, Rapunzel, Tiana, and Snow White,” according to a statement from Allure Bridals.
The fantasy gowns feature various timeless silhouettes, with “romantic ball gowns, mermaid trains and fit-and-flare hemlines” incorporated throughout the collection. Fabric options will include “soft mikado, ethereal tulle and flowing chiffon, balanced by the dramatic structure of ruffled organza and unique, dimensional lace,” the bridal dress company stated.
The full Disney Fairy Tale Weddings Collection will be unveiled at New York Bridal Fashion Week in April this year, after which the collection will be available at selected boutiques across the country. Nine of the dresses will be priced from $1,200 to $2,500.
Seven of the aforementioned 16 styles will form part of the Disney Fairy Tale Weddings Platinum Collection, priced from $3,500 to $10,000. Available exclusively at Kleinfeld Bridal stores in New York and Toronto, the platinum collection features “extensive crystal beading, pearls and hand-embroidered appliques and delicate sparkle tulle” and includes the Tiana Platinum gown, which is “covered in bayou-inspired shimmering vines and blossoms,” the statement reads.
All gowns will be available in sizes 0 to 30 for both collections.
“So many brides grow up admiring their favorite Disney Princess characters and are inspired by their journeys, gowns and stories of the classic films,” Kelly Crum, CEO of Allure Bridals, said in the statement.
“Our design team worked tirelessly on each of these incredible gowns, as each dress features intricate detailing specifically inspired by the timeless characters known and loved by all of us at Allure and Kleinfeld, as well as our brides. We are honored to work with Disney on this collection and see the romance of it come to life,” the statement said.
The news of Disney’s new wedding dress collection was followed by the 70th anniversary of the classic Disney film Cinderella, which was first released on February 15 in 1950.
In honor of the milestone, the Magic Kingdom Park’s Cinderella Castle at the Walt Disney World Resort will get a “royal makeover”. A series of “stunning enhancements” to the castle will be seen in the coming weeks and into the summer, the Magic Kingdom Park’s vice president announced on the Disney Parks blog Monday.
“Cinderella first transformed into a princess 70 years ago this week when the animated classic was released—and ever since, her courage and kindness have been inspiring guests and cast members alike. We are excited to share that her story has inspired a bold, shimmering and royal makeover of her namesake castle at the heart of Walt Disney World Resort,” Kirk said.
Last December, Disney unveiled the new Riviera Resort at the Walt Disney World Resort, whose design was inspired by “the grandeur and enchantment of the European Riviera,” the company said.
Next month, Disney’s first-ever Mickey Mouse-themed ride is slated to open its doors at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida.
Last week, the Disneyland park in Anaheim, California, increased the prices of its day passes, annual passes and digital MaxPasses, with tickets now costing up to $209.
