14 wedding dresses for the anti-princess bride

Not every bride dreams of tying the knot clad in a bedazzled, pick-up scattered dress worthy of a Disney princess.

How do you know if you’re an anti-princess bride? You’d rather look cutting-edge than like Cinderella; wear something on trend than a tiara and you breakout in a cold sweat at the thought of too much tulle. And if you’re thinking that your perfect very un-princess like dress isn’t out there, it is – and we’ve even done the hard work for you. These dresses are feminine, beautiful and will still make you feel like a bride – no curtsying required.
