...and I found my fairy tale gown!

Not more than twenty minutes after posting my latest blog entry I checked my facebook and saw that my friend Madeline had suggested I check out Disney Bridal (Big thank you to Maddy!!) A couple of years ago I had poked around looking at the Kristie Kelly for Disney Bridal gowns. They were all beautiful and lovely but there was never just one that specifically appealed to me. I would like the waistline of one and the bust of another but there was never just the right one. I have been looking at David's Bridal but it seems their dresses are either too simplistic (I wanted a little panache! It is a wedding after all!) or was just too over the top and glamazon. 


I googled Disney Bridal and followed the link. A new designer did this year's collection, Alfred Angelo and it makes all the difference. I wanted to view all of the gowns (without seeing which fairy tale inspired them) and sure enough one of the first gowns I saw I fell in love with!! It's as the website says 'classic ballgown of tulle and glitter net over taffeta, inspired by Cinderella's glass slipper. The draped criss-cross bodice features a romantic sweetheart neckline accented with sparkling crystal beading and rhinestones.' It is in one word, breathtaking! I knew the moment I saw it. The ballgown was distributive yet had a flow to it, and the touch of glitter in it makes it look as though it twinkles. I adore the criss-cross bodice because the bridesmaids gown I chose has one as well and I love that there will some coordination to the gowns. There is no price on the website, which doesn't inspire confidence but it is everything I want my gown to be. I cannot express how thrilled I am to have found it. After assessing it critically next to my bridesmaid's gowns, David and I decided together that the bridesmaid's gowns would be more appropriate in a navy rather than a canary (which I am certain will be to the delight of my bridesmaids) and then I can have my lovely little flower girls wear a nice sunny color! It's wonderful and inspiring how everything seemed to just flow and fall into place once I found the right dress! I am so excited that I have found my fairy tale gown to marry my prince charming in!!! 


Just in case my gushing over the dress doesn't paint the picture...here it is:
