The author has a singular perspective on Princess Diana's influence on weddings including their complement of womanly rituals. On the gilded wave following Diana's royal wedding in 1981-reinventing an outdated bridal industry and bringing weddings back into high-style-Cornelia created a store for the new woman emerging that decade...a design haven for this \"grown-up bride.\" And her invitation over the years to all those brides-to-be, \"don't settle for being a princess for a day, be a goddess for a lifetime,\" shapes the heart of this book. Called \"such an intimate experience from which the reader emerges transformed,\" the book wraps its narrative inside the heart-opening legacy of an archetypal princess who changed our notion of 'happily ever after', who ended the myth of the fairy-tale bride, and who opened a tender pathway to love for those she left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45510612844695,"sku":"9781505514889","price":1706.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781505514889.webp?v=1767170864","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-end-of-the-fairy-tale-bride-volume-one-for-better-or-worse-how-princess-diana-rescued-the-great-white-wedding-9781505514889","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
