Beam in a Princess Wedding Dress
As a little girl, many women dreamed of getting married as a real princess. A fairytale wedding with a princess wedding dress is therefore a dream come true for many. Do you also want to look like a real royal at your wedding? Or do you just love the style of a princess wedding dress? Read here everything you need to know about this style and get inspiration for your own dream dress!
What is a princess wedding dress?
As the name suggests, a princess wedding dress is one in which you look like a princess. The dress is characterized by a narrow waist and a wide skirt. This puts emphasis on your narrowest part. And the great contrast with the full skirt makes your waist look even slimmer!
The silhouette of a princess wedding dress is feminine and elegant. But several variations are also possible with this style of wedding dress. From classic to modern and from clean to embellished with lace, beads, stones and glitter.
Getting married in a Disney princess wedding dress
As a little girl, did you dream of getting married as a real princess? And do you still want nothing more than to shine in a princess wedding dress? Your dream dress has come true with the Disney collection of Allure. Each wedding dress is based on the dress of one of the Disney princesses. With magic in every thread, you’ll feel like a real princess.
The full skirt
The full skirt is characteristic of the princess wedding dress. That volume is not created overnight. A full skirt is often created with a lot of low. The most commonly used fabric for this is tulle because it gives a voluminous effect without the extra weight. But even more often, the full skirt is created with an underskirt that ensures that the silhouette of your dress is maintained.
Difference with an a-line wedding dress
The name says it all.
The a-line wedding dress is shaped like the capital A. From the tight waist, the skirt fans out wider.
Basically, a princess wedding dress still has an a-line silhouette.
The difference is in the volume of the skirt.
An a-line often has a supple skirt while a princess wedding dress always has a striking full skirt.
The benefits of an underskirt
An underskirt is not the cutest and certainly not the most exciting part of your bridal look.
But it is an essential part.
The fit of your wedding dress stands or falls with the underskirt.
Especially with a big princess wedding dress, a hoop skirt can make all the difference.
Besides defining your complete silhouette, a hoop skirt also dresses tremendously slim. All without adding much extra weight. Your bridal look gets a boost on every level. And that hoop skirt also gives you more freedom of movement. Not only does it make you walk more smoothly down the aisle, it also allows you to dance the night away.
Create an extra dramatic effect with a long drag
On your big day, you get to stand out. This day is all about you and you get to be the center of attention. Do you like a princess wedding dress but want a dress that really makes you stand out? Choose a princess wedding dress with a long train for an extra dramatic effect. A train gives an extra elegant effect to your dress. And of course you have a lot of choice.
The chapel drag
The chapel drag is a rather understated but distinct drag of 1 to 2 meters.
A real eye-catcher but practical for an intimate or smaller wedding.
The cathedral drag
According to tradition, the cathedral drag, as the name suggests, was mostly worn at church weddings.
Pretty logical, because with this 3-meter drag, you’ll need plenty of room as you walk to the altar.
The royal drag
The royal drag is the royal and extravagant variant among drags.
This is the longest variant you will find.
You may need a few extra hands with this drag, but you will make an unforgettable impression!
Would you like a dress with a train but think a princess wedding dress stands out enough? Then choose a subdued brush train! This is the shortest train within the wedding dresses. This way you have a beautiful train but without the dramatic effect or the extra challenge while walking.

Or choose a veil to go with your princess wedding dress
Do you love the effect of such a long drag? But are you afraid of those challenges it poses? Then consider combining your princess wedding dress with a long veil. This can create an equally dramatic effect but gives you the freedom to easily detach it after the ceremony.
Are you choosing a princess wedding dress? Keep this in mind!
Of course super beautiful, such a great princess wedding dress. But you have to take a few things into account. Because the bigger the dress, the heavier it is. And that limits your movement. You will be carrying that weight with you all day. Also keep in mind that you won’t be able to move around as flexibly. And going to the bathroom alone will be out of the question on your big day.
You can solve this by changing your bridal look in the evening. For example, choose a supple wedding dress, a short wedding dress, or even a wedding jumpsuit.
Besides the size and weight, a princess wedding dress also affects your entire bridal look. There is a lot going on in such a big dress. No downside, of course, because you want to be in the spotlight on your big day. But keep this in mind when choosing your accessories.
