7 Christmas Wedding Dresses That Are So Enchanting, You'll Feel Like A Disney Princess
There's something extra enchanting about tying the knot near or around the holidays. Everyone's in a cheerful mood, and in addition to sleigh bells ringing, so are the bells at your wedding. This calls for a magical gown, of course, and Christmas wedding dresses conjure some of the most mystical and chic looks.
No matter what season, putting on your wedding dress is an inexplicable feeling for anyone. It's sort of like putting on a fabulous suit of armor, without the hard metal exterior. You become ready to open and face the next chapter of your life and walk confidently down the aisle to your knight.
Disney princesses always had the most amazing dresses, and our want for something like that never really stops. It's technically attainable, but ultimately, I think Disney's message wasn't necessarily that the princess was beautiful on the outside, but that she was genuinely glowing on the inside from extreme happiness. On your day, you are going to feel transcendent, partly because of the dress you chose, but mostly because you are about to become a wifey — a new and rewarding title to add to your identity. But if your heart is set on slaying as hard as the Disney princesses, these dresses give glitz and glam a completely new meaning.

The sweetheart shape has had our hearts since we were little girls. It's just so playful, yet elegant at the same time. It's no wonder it's a fan favorite when it comes to wedding dresses. It always seems to go well with a fluffy tulle finish.
04Beaded Lace Dress
Beaded Lace Wedding Dress With Pleated Skirt, $1,708 — $1,808, David's Bridal
First off, all hail this veil. Normally, long veils are a tad bit intimidating because of the potential for it to be everywhere except where it needs to be. This long veil is gorgeous, and seems to be more than manageable. The way it lays over this beaded lace gives it such a royal feel.
05Classic Tulle Ball Gown

07Long Sleeve Periwinkle Blue Gown

The holiday season is all about expecting snow in some parts of the world, and that makes you think of ice and soft colors like periwinkle blue.

A white half-sleeve faux coat would go so well with this.
At the end of the day, just make sure that your wedding dress is something you feel extraordinary in. After all, you're on your way to your very own fairy tale.
