Happily Ever After in Disney Designer Style

Although Disney is not the original author of many fairy tales, they are the flagship when it comes to marketing the idea and making it a reality for those who want it. Disney, with their movies, stage productions, and theme parks all over the world, is like an American cultural tradition. You would be hard pressed to find a woman who did not at some point in her life dream of being a Disney princess or any child who would have passed up the opportunity to go to Orlando to meet their favorite characters in person.

Disney has been offering brides the opportunity to live out their fairly tale wedding dreams at their theme parks, complete with horse drawn carriages and opulent 'castles', for a long time, but starting in the Summer of 2007 brides will have yet another way to live out their Disney dreams.

An article in the WallStreet Journal says that beginning in June 2007, brides will have the opportunity to get married in true Disney style by purchasing one of their Disney Princess wedding gowns. According to the article, Disney will be releasing 34 princess designs their first season, each one completely unique and inspired by the styles worn by Disney favorites such as Ariel, Cinderella, and Jasmine. The dresses will be priced from $1100 to around $3000.

When I was a little girl, I would have given anything to dress up as Cinderella and waltz away with my prince charming, and even though I think it would be insanely fun to be able to wear one, I'm not sure I'd choose it as my wedding gown. I want to know what yall think! Make sure to vote or leave a comment and let me know :-)
