To mark the anniversary of ‘20 years of fairytales’ world renowned dress designer Alfred Angelo joined forces with Disney to create a stunning Princess tribute collection set for release in over 65 bridal boutiques in the UK.
Special childhood memories most young girls obtain from Disney and it’s fairytales often remains with them throughout their lives, dreams of becoming a princess on their wedding day are consistent girls with most and an enormous part of this fantasy is stemming from ‘The dress’. This genius collaboration now gives many women the chance of obtaining a stunning hand crafted Disney inspired dress, that encapsulates that childhood dream bringing fantasy to reality for one of the biggest days in a bride’s life. 7 iconic Disney princesses have been carefully picked and chosen as inspiration for the collection; each dress has been designed and created taking key elements and infamous characteristics from their enchanting fairytale story and character. Ariel, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Snow White, Tiana and coming this Autumn/Winter special edition Rapunzel have used as for the exquisite bridal compilation.
5 Star Weddings had the wonderful opportunity to preview the dresses at the 5 Star boutique Soho Hotel in central London where the dresses debuted to the press prior to its release, we spoke to the very passionate Alfred Angelo representative to learn more about the creations and why they have been so successful. The current high demand for the dresses has been immense since the original announcement of the collection on CNN.
With the most popular dresses being the Cinderella Deluxe edition and the dazzling Bell, both very elegant and dramatically statemented fairytale dresses. Whilst Tiana, the newest princess to Disney and another popular choice, has been carefully designed to portray her strong independent personality incorporating diamanté lily inspired bodice of the dress. Rapunzel is the latest addition to the collection, the dress captures her naturist, confidant, outgoing persona through the use of a lavish skirt adorned with light-catching crystals, twinkling sequins and three-dimensional satin petals. Each dress has its own interpretation of the princess and tries to use the personality of each character rather than the simple obvious features from the story.
Our conversation with the Alfred Angelo rep continued to the future trends of the collection of which he suggested there might be a further evolution/development of some dresses using a different parts of the characters personality, which has been demonstrated in the limited edition Cinderella dress. We also wanted to find out about future princesses that may be added to the series, but with no conclusive answer he suggested the idea of an interesting Pocahontas dress.
The collection is truly breathtaking with a variety of different styles for every possible bride, each dress is beautifully crafted and appeals to the inner princess of every woman and with a RRP from £600-£1300 the collection is stylish, enchanting and affordable. The collection can be viewed at any one of the 65 boutiques across the UK, but for more information about each dress of the collection you can view the official Alfred Angelo website.
