You've been dreaming of your wedding day since you were a little girl, are we right? Turns out, you don't need a fairy godmother to get your fairytale wedding—or look like a fairytale princess after all. All you need is an ethereal ballgown paired with cascading waves or a chic updo. Oh, and a picturesque backdrop doesn't hurt either!
Just take a cue from these eight brides, who look like their love story began with "Once upon a time..."
Modern-day Cinderella here stunned in a whimsical blue Tara la Tour ballgown. A fitted strapless bodice gives way to a drop waist that introduces layers upon layers of cascading ruffles—charming and just as dazzling as the bride’s silver chandelier earrings.
This bride is looking pretty in pink, thanks to the magic of Lazaro. A flouncy blush gown with asymmetrical lines, a sweetheart neckline, and beaded embellishments at the waist is both dreamy and artistic.
This ivory Watters gown practically glows in the autumnal sunlight, billowing in a way that is wistfully ethereal. A softly swept updo and minimal jewelry makes no distractions, allowing the detailed and dazzled corset to shine in this elegantly airy style.
Spotted—Snow White in her enchanted forest. A lace sheath Tara Keely dress topped with a full tulle skirt is classic princess romance, especially when paired with a flowing veil attached to a floral crown. It can’t get much more woodland fairytale than this.
We could wax lyrical about this fairytale princess all day. A subtle tiara and sparkling statement necklace echo the glitter in the dress’s bodice. From Suzanne's Bridal Boutique, this voluminous gown takes its royal duties very seriously, with dainty off-the-shoulder straps and illusion fabric across a plunging neckline.
This Mira Bridal Couture gown brings a bit of drama to the simplicity of nature. A thick, flowing train mirrors the waterfall behind this beautiful bride, with heavy drapery in the front. A bedazzled and embroidered corset laces up in the back for an honest touch.
Hello, Elsa. A custom hushed blue gown by Little Pink Dress makes for one stunning ice queen (the sweet kind, of course!). A bounty of tulle, touches of lace, and a powder shade that captures the color of light as it hits the snow is nothing but divine.
Sleeping Beauty, anyone? This fairytale bride awaits her debut inside the castle wearing a blush gown from Unbridaled, featuring a white bodice with illusion overlay adorned with enchanting silver embroidery and a bit of fairy dust. A deep burgundy floral crown and matching bouquet contrast the softness with a hint of moodiness.
