We are doing a womens conference next year at my church. We want to focus on being Princesses in God's eyes. Our target audience is teens.
Womans bible study about being a princess of God. Need some ideas. Anyone have any?
I don't know about princesses, but my first thought was the story of Esther. As a youth pastor, I have done a series on her and can say that there are loads of principles and truths that can be applied young women's lives.
Hope this helps a little!

You can start out with what it means to be daughter of God. the importance of adoption (ie, once you adopt, you cannot EVER disown your child, and that is what it is like with God.)
What God expects out of His child, and how much He loves us.
You can end with an annointing for all those who have accepted their adoption into the family of God using Rose of Sharon oil on their forehead (you can get into the annointing of David to do God's work) as a symbol of that acceptance and willingness to follow God's calling in their lives.

EDIT
OH and what it mean that we are joint heirs with Christ Jesus.
Reply:you can have some lessons that focus on sexual purity and the characteristics of a virtuous woman.
also, let them know that they can serve the kingdom so much more than they can imagine!
reaching out to their lost friends, living a holy life, asking God to fulfill their dreams of becoming an evangelist, doctor, lawyer, etc.
let them shift their focus from themselves, to God.
edit: yup, plus the anointing part. and pastors praying for them, commissioning them.
