At some point in their lives almost all little girls will become fascinated with bride dolls, the most popular of which are those made from porcelain. It is a good thing then that there are now several different styles of porcelain bride dolls in unique variations of costume and artistic influence. In fact, if your little girl grows up and continues to be fascinated with dolls, you can help her put together a truly versatile bride doll collection.
When people talk about porcelain dolls they often think of ancient times and porcelain dolls are so often thought of as antique dolls. Take note, however, that there are a lot of modern doll manufacturers who make collectible porcelain dolls. These dolls are known as reproductions and while they can be just as attractive and appealing, they certainly do not have the same value as real antique dolls. Here are some of the most popular porcelain bride dolls that you may want to include in your collection.
Ava is a collectible bride doll created by designer Donna RuBert. Ava is a very elegant-looking bride who stands 19 inches tall and comes with complete accessories. She wears a full-length satin gown adorned with tulle and lace accents and an exquisitely detailed beading. This brunette bride has striking features that will certainly catch your attention and make you feel that she is an essential inclusion in your bride doll collection. You can get Ava complete with a certificate of authenticity as a guarantee that it is indeed made from porcelain.
The bride doll Nicolette is another must-have for collectors. She wears a dramatically sweeping gown sewn from sheer organza in blinding white. This floor-length gown is adorned with satin, lace, and an elegant bodice. The doll itself is beautifully designed and very lifelike in appearance. This may be the primary reason why Nicolette is among the most coveted doll of porcelain doll collectors.
A set of porcelain bride dolls known as the Royalton Collection Porcelain Winter Bride Doll also features another must-have for doll collectors. Courtney is a top-quality doll wearing an elegant hand-made gown made from superior fabrics. Gown details include a velveteen skirt, covered buttons, and faux fur collar, among others. Courtney is approximately 17 inches tall and is indeed a coveted collector's item.

Brittany stands approximately 17 inches tall and has a truly beautiful face. It is considered as an excellent inclusion to any doll collector's gallery of porcelain dolls.
Popular doll-making companies like Ashton Drake also have a considerable collection of porcelain bride dolls that you can choose from. Whether you decide to stick to antiques or expand your collection to include the most popular porcelain dolls of modern times, you will surely find more than enough to satisfy your fascination in dolls. If properly cared for, these dolls can even become heirlooms to be passed on from one generation of little girls to the next.
