Alfred Angelo, America’s oldest and foremost bridal company debuted its magical 2016 Disney Fairy Tale Weddings bridal collection during New York Bridal Week. Onstage at the historic New Amsterdam Theatre, home of Disney’s hit Broadway musical Aladdin, the fashion event culminated in Broadway’s Jasmine, actress Courtney Reed, modeling the Princess Jasmine-inspired strapless tulle and glitter net bridal gown by Alfred Angelo.
