So what is everyone else saying about the new bridal line? Take a look:

• Designer Kirstie Kelly: “Looking like Cinderella is probably something they never considered before they got engaged, but then the traditional side almost always comes out. It’s hard to resist romance and sparkle”; “Every look takes its inspiration from the silhouette, palette and icons of each Disney Princess story and interprets the spirit of each young woman”; “Each of them has a unique, charming and very individual style that many brides can identify with, and now truly emulate, on their wedding day.”
• Chairman of Disney Consumer Products Worldwide Andy Mooney: “If you think about who the first person who teaches you about love, romance and Prince Charming is, it probably happened between the ages of 2-5 and included Disney.”
• Knot editor-in-chief Carley Roney: “[T]he success of this line all depends on the dress design,…The Disney brand has a strong, positive, emotional meaning for a surprising number of people - consider the couples who choose to get married at Disney. But I see these ‘Disneyphiles’ as being a relatively small group. As to the women who have no real Disney brand loyalty, if the dress designs are strong enough, they will probably overlook the brand association.”
• Brides magazine editor-in-chief Millie Martini Bratten: “I think it plays into a lot of other things that Disney has done in general to expand what people already love (and) the service they get,…They are offering different types of weddings for different budgets and … they have the resources and the imagination and the focus to attract the higher-end weddings.”
