The Most Iconic Wedding Gowns From History

Weddings are considered a milestone by many since they mark the beginning of a new chapter. They also seal the deal with the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. However, there is another thing that brides look forward to during this special day.

Their wedding is when they get to wear the dress of their dreams. The famous brides on this list wore some of the most iconic wedding gowns of all time. Most of them were a vision in white as they went for the classic bridal look.

Others marched to the beat of their own drums as they defied traditional colors and silhouettes.

Jackie Kennedy

The former First Lady of the United States has always been a style icon. On her wedding to President John F. Kennedy, Jackie did not disappoint with her bridal dress. An outfit that was apt for her future role, she wore a ball gown by African-American designer Ann Lowe.

Jackie paired her off-the-shoulder ball gown with a pair of white gloves. The memorable event took place in 1953 in Rhode Island. As expected, their beloved family and friends were in full attendance.

Kate, Duchess of Cambridge

The royal nuptials of Kate Middleton to Prince William in 2011 was dubbed the “Wedding of the Century.” All eyes were on them during the big spectacle. Kate wore a stunning dress that was fit for a duchess. She stunned thousands of guests and the people watching from home.

The Duchess of Cambridge’s custom gown was created by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. Much like her previous outfits, Kate’s wedding dress became an inspiration for other women who are also planning to tie the knot.

Grace Kelly

Before Kate Middleton, there was Grace Kelly. The Hollywood actress arguably paved the way for other “commoners” who married into royalty. She captured the heart of Prince Rainier III of Monaco and walked down the aisle in 1956. Their wedding was an unsurprisingly star-studded event.

Grace’s ballgown went down in history as one of the most elegant bridal looks of all time. Costume designer Helen Rose designed it, which was actually MGM’s wedding gift to her. The remarkable dress reportedly took 30 seamstresses and six weeks to make.

Debbie Reynolds

Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher are among Hollywood’s most unforgettable couples. These stars crossed paths while performing abroad for the troops during the Korean War. By 1955, they became husband and wife through a ceremony held in New York.

While Debbie was a blushing bride during their union, she had no idea how their marriage would turn out. Unfortunately, she and Eddie headed for divorce when he left her for their close friend, Elizabeth Taylor. This romantic love story turned into a scandalous love triangle.
