When you think about Disney Princesses you think about those flowy and and beautiful gowns. What if I say that they adorned the attire of a Desi bride. Will you believe?
Yes, believe it cause its true. Recently a fashion shoot has depicted all the Disney Princesses as what will they look like if they dressed like an South Asian bride.
Amrit Grewal, is the photographer behind this photo series,who originated to demonstrate how Disney can inspire multiple ethnicities’ aesthetics.In an interview to Buzzfeed he said.
“Being a part of the Vancouver wedding industry, a common occurrence of themes are the various Disney Princesses.
Jasmine Nijjar, who worked as the Marketing Manager for Well groomed Designs, an Indian couture bridal gallery, conceptualized this project with brides in mind. With a need to show how mainstream Disney can migrate into other ethnicities, Jasmine built a theme that used each Disney princess movie as the inspiration all while integrating traditional Indian bridal wear.”
The photographs were originally carried in South Asian Bride Magazine.

Rapunzel’s set was inspired by Kim Kardashian’s famous flower wall. “To create her braid, we rolled hay (yes, hay) for about 6 feet with zap straps and wrapped the thick rope-like hay with matching blonde extensions,” Grewal told BuzzFeed. “We adorned the braid with tens of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and perched her on top of brick pillars.”

Grewal and his team opted to keep Pocahontas’s styling simple — three single feathers in her hair — so as to not inadvertently offend Native American sentiment.

“Ariel was definitely the most detailed one, but one of my personal favorites,” Grewal said. “We really wanted to show off a tail look, so we clipped the sari from at the knees and really accentuated the hips and tail fin. We used an aqua backdrop and built a rock-like platform so Ariel could stand on it. To give her a more sexy look, we used a short strapless crop top.”

Cinderella was shot at the local Hycroft Manor, using the outdoor stairs as her running point.Amrit explained to buzzfeed that response to their Disney project has been overwhelmingly positive.
“We received an amazing response to the Disney project and we were so incredibly happy that it was all positive. There was finally a look that Indian brides could aspire to that worked with their ethnicity and as a team, we were extremely proud to have been able to provide that joy to them. The online response was absolutely amazing! I’ve been flooded with inquires about this project, so much that I’m unable to respond to them all.
So,what do you think about the idea?And the creations that the designer and the photographer duo created?
Stay Gorgeous,
