Isaac Mizrahi Bridal for Target!

Budget brides all over the US will rejoice when the Isaac Mizrahi Bridal collection hits target online May 1st!

More than just wedding dresses, the comprehensive collection includes 8 wedding gowns (available in Ivory and White), 10-12 styles of bridesmaids dresses with matching wraps and clutches, satin peep-toe pumps and other bridal shoes and even cummerbunds with matching ties for the groomsmen!

And the best part? The retail price of every item in the collection ranges from just $9.99 to $159.99!

It remains to be seen what the quality of the materials is like, but I was pleased to see that the only gown I found a picture of online (other than the taffeta number above) is this cowl neck made of silk charmeuse and not a synthetic substitute like sateen. And as far as the bridesmaids dresses go, they can’t really be of any WORSE quality than the current polyether standard, so they seem worth a look at the very least right?

So you wanna be a fairytale bride?

Grab your ribbon wand and check out Disney’s new wedding gown collection by Kirstie Kelley and you’ll be sure to feel like Cinderella on your wedding day. Or Belle, or any of the other characters that inspired this 34 gown collection unveiled at New York’s Bridal fashion week.

The gowns range in price from $1500 to $3000 and according to a Disney spokesperson “The price point is aimed at a generation of couples who are getting married older and paying for their own celebrations.”

Huh? Speaking as someone who was married at 32 and could be considered an “older” bride, I don’t think that the words “fairytale” “princess” or even “tiara” entered my mind when planning my wedding..but hey, maybe I’m the exception!
