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 On the gilded wave following Diana's royal wedding in 1981-reinventing an outdated bridal industry and bringing weddings back into high-style-Cornelia created a store for the new woman emerging that decade...a design haven for this \"grown-up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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornelia Powell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1505514886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781505514889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.66d","brand":"Cornelia Powell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439515611391,"sku":"9781505514889","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_973245ab-720c-47cf-b713-5c2ae7c0844d.jpg?v=1777178096","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-end-of-the-fairy-tale-cornelia-powell-9781505514889","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
