Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen designed Kate's wedding dress and I have to say this is going to be one copied style. There is something incredibly romantic about iconic brides and wedding dresses from the past. This dress definitely drew inspirations from some pretty famous princesses. With vintage being on trend at the moment, these vintage inspired wedding dresses are an amazing way to steer away from traditionalism for your big day. Princess Katherine changed into a second gown for the reception. The dress appears to be silk or satin, with a jewelled belt and a full skirt. She’s also sporting a white cardigan. Like her wedding dress, the reception dress was designed by Sarah Burton.
When film star Grace Kelly married Prince Ranier II of Monaco in 1956, it was one of the most glamorous affairs ever. Young, beautiful and wearing couture. In fact she wore two dresses one for the civil ceremony just as Princess Katherine did and one for the more public religious ceremony. The most memorable was the lace bodice, high necked dress which she wore for the religious ceremony which you can see Sarah Burton drew inspiration from.
Also another British Royal with an iconic wedding dress, Princess Margaret wore a simple v neck style of dress with a neat long sleeved bodice and a simple flared skirt which was very flattering and even years on still looks amazing. The dress was designed by Norman Hartnell. Simple and unfussy.
The second dress
