Princess Week: Cinderella

She may be fictional, but she is probably one of the best known and most loved princesses in all of history.  Cinderella tells the story of a down and out girl who wins the heart of the dashing and handsome Prince Charming.  Although she thinks she's just a common girl, her fairy godmother know she deserves a dress that shows off her inner beauty.

In the Disney version of the story, Cinderella ends up getting married in a white, chiffon-looking, ball gown, complete with poofy sleeves and bustles.  But in 2011, who wears that dated stuff anymore?  If Cindy (if we may be so informal) were getting married today, she'd undoubtedly go for a ball gown more like this one from Moonlight Bridal's Stephanie Collection.  It retains all the elements you'd want to see in the gown of a princess, but updates it with a sleeveless neckline and adds just the right amount of sparkle (something missing from the Princess' original dress) to set off those one-of-a-kind glass slippers.

Don't you think Cinderella would look amazing in a gown like this?

Best Wedding Wishes!

Princess Week: Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco

As a model, actress, and princess, Grace Kelly – who became Princess Grace of Monaco - undoubtedly lived a charmed life. She reigned alongside her husband from 1956 until her tragic death in 1982. Although Her Serene Highness (as she was titled) was known to be as gracious as her name would suggest, she was also rumored to have something of a wild side. I imagine that if she was getting married today, Grace Kelly would want a gown that showed off both sides of her personality.

This amazing ball gown from Justin Alexander’s Signature collection achieves both the serious and playful sides of a woman like Grace Kelly. The dress features a removable, lace, reverse bolero with full sleeves and a high neck. The romantic modesty would appease both her Catholic family and his royal family as she walked down the aisle for their church ceremony.

After the world had watched what had become known as “The Wedding of The Century”, Grace could let loose and enjoy a private reception by removing the lace top to reveal a stunning and sexy, strapless bodice. With or without the lace bolero, the dress would be stunning. The full, ball skirt is exactly what a princess of her nature would wear.

What do you think? Does the gown do Princess Grace justice?

Best Wedding Wishes,

It's Princess Week!

If you haven’t noticed, Royal Wedding madness is everywhere! One of the biggest weddings of our generation is coming up in just a few days and we thought we’d join in the celebration. In honor of Prince William and the soon-to-be Princess Kate’s upcoming nuptials, we’re declaring it Princess Week!


As we all count down the days until the Royal Wedding, we’ll be taking a look back at some of history’s most famous women in royalty and the dresses they might have worn if they were getting married today. Once Kate becomes Princess Catherine, we’ll show you some hot gowns that could have you looking as amazing as the most fashionable Kate!

First up, Nefertiti…



Nefertiti and the PURE by Justin Alexander dress she'd wear.

Thought to be one of the most beautiful women in the world, Nefertiti reigned alongside the Pharaoh of Egypt from about 1353 B.C. until 1330 B.C. With those warm, desert temperatures, an Egyptian bride might desire a light, flowing fabric, like the organic silk in this PURE by Justin Alexander dress. Nefertiti would undoubtedly appreciate the lovely beaded bateau neckline on this gown. I imagine that she’d accessorize with a similarly beaded and ornate crown.

We know Nefertiti would love this dress; what do you think?

Best Wedding Wishes,
