Amrit Grewal is a photographer from Canada who was part of a project that aimed to demonstrate how Disney can inspire multiple ethnicities’ aesthetics. In an email conversation with 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 Wellgroomed Designs, an Indian couture bridal gallery, conceptualised 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.”

Amrit says that the response to the 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.
