Even before receiving a marriage proposal, each of us has long dreamed of a gorgeous wedding dress and somewhere deep in the head knows how it should be. This is dictated by our childhood desires to be a princess and an endless stream of information from the Internet, secular newspapers and TV programs.
When we start to think about the most famous wedding dresses, perhaps the first thing that comes to mind is Princess Diana’s dress. This truly masterpiece was made for young Lady Di by two young British designers David and Elizabeth Emanuel. Until the wedding day, no one except Diana and her mother had seen the outfit, and on June 29, 1981 the bride appeared in a luxurious dress made of ivory satin, embroidered with diamonds and thousands of small pearls.
A special attention deserves eight-meter veil, decorated with vintage lace of the XIX century. Just in case, an exact copy of the dress was made, which was later sold at auction for 175,000 dollars.
No one is indifferent to the wedding image of Hollywood diva Grace Kelly. More than half a century has already passed since her wedding to Prince Rainier of Monaco, and girls from all over the world aspire to be like her. She is a style icon for brides and designers alike. Her wedding gown was created by MGM movie studio designer Helen Rose. An immeasurable amount of taffeta and Valenciennes lace, 35 seamstresses managed to turn into a masterpiece, which then became a museum piece. The bell silhouette skirt was both feminine and elegant, noble but not too grand.
The Duchess of Cambridge did not let Lady Di down and worthily entered the royal family. Of course, the wedding image of Kate and Diana will be compared for many years to come, but the fact that they were both perfect is a fact. In April 2011, the world saw the new British princess in a “stylish and beautiful, elegant and understated” white dress by Sarah Breton, who represented the fashion house Alexander McQueen. Traditional symbols of Great Britain: the English rose, Welsh daffodil, Scottish thistle, and Irish trilby were complemented by the finest hand-worked lace.
The back of the dress was fastened with 54 tiny buttons, and the length of the train was not as long as Diana’s, but not small – 2.7m. The veil was held by a small Cartier tiara.
To summarize the most famous wedding dresses, Kim Kardashian, although not a member of the blue bloods, but no less famous social diva and lover of selfies, can safely draw the line. The wedding dress was created by a family friend and creative director of Givenchy brand Riccardo Tisci.
The dress was Kim’s style tight, with lots of lace and a long train. In general, she once recalled that she wanted a wedding outfit like Kate Middleton’s, but the only thing the two dresses had in common was the color, lace sleeve and long veil. There was only thin lace on the back and stomach, which created a naked body effect. Kim’s wedding outfit was generally restrained and elegantly modest and cost the bride 300 thousand pounds.
