Designer Barbie Bride Dolls Collectibles

"What? Not again! Why is Barbie is getting married so many times?!" I was quite tickled when I first came across people making such exclamation. Do you know that Barbie is not married yet? (I don't think Mattel would allow her to. LOL!) However, she is probably one of the most sought after supermodels that many fashion designer would love to design outfits for. So, she gets plenty of opportunities to don on some of the best works by talented bridal designers.

In this lens, I shall feature the Barbie Bride Dolls for adult collectors. These collectors dolls are typically above $100. They wear exquisite doll dresses designed by some of the world's most favorite contemporary wedding fashion designers such as Vera Wang, Reem Acra, Carolina Herrera and Monique Lhuillier, just to name a few. If you are going to be (or already are) a Barbie doll collector, you really should never miss them.
