Royal Wedding Dresses

Happy last day of March!

I've seen all over the web that people are counting down the days until the upcoming royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The biggest thing that we're anticipating is most probably her wedding gown.

Let's take a look at royal wedding dresses! :D

1. Princess Grace of Monaco -

This is my favorite - she looks so beautiful - classic and timeless. I love the Grace Kelly-inspired wedding dresses that designers like Monique Lhuillier (my favorite!) make.

Princess Grace's dress was made by MGM designer Helen Rose - it was made from 125-year old Valenciennes rose-point lace, silk taffeta, and 98 yards of tulle.

2. Diana, Princess of Wales -

Perhaps the most famous wedding dress of all time!

Made by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, it features 275 yards of pearl-studded taffeta, tulle, and netting, and a 25-foot train.

Did you guys see the article on Yahoo! showing her alternate wedding dress?

3. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden -

She looks absolutely beautiful!

I love how simple and elegant her cream-colored duchess satin Par Engsheden gown is. Her train is 16.5 feet long. And look at that breathtakingly gorgeous gold and pearl Cameo tiara! What makes it more special is the fact that it was the same tiara her mother, Queen Silvia, wore on her wedding day. :)

4. Princess Letizia of Asturias -

The Spanish princess wore an off-white Manuel Pertegaz gown that features a silk veil and an almost 15-foot train. Her diamond and platinum tiara was the same tiara Prince Felipe's mother, Queen Sofia, wore on her wedding day.

5. Crown Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece -

For her 1995 wedding to Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece, the Crown Princess wore an ivory silk Valentino gown (made by more than 25 seamstresses!). Her tiara was borrowed from her mother-in-law.

6. Crown Princess Mary of Denmark -

Prince Frederik's bride wore a scoop-neck ivory satin gown created by Uffe Frank. Her veil was the same veil used by Crown Princess Margaret of Sweden for her 1905 wedding.

7. Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway -

She wore a simple and beautiful silk crepe and tulle long-sleeved gown by Ove Harder Finseth. She finished off her look with a 20-foot train and a tiara - a gift from the King and Queen.

8. Princess Maxima of the Netherlands -

Look at that 16.4 feet lace train! Her long-sleeved ivory silk wedding dress was designed by Valentino. She also wore a diamond tiara and a lace veil.

9. Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York -

This Lindka Cierach ivory duchess satin gown is not my favorite, but I like how there was a beaded letter "A" (for Prince Andrew) at the bottom of her 17-foot train... although sadly, their marriage didn't last.

10. Queen Rania of Jordan -

The 22-year old bride wore a gold-trimmed short-sleeved Bruce Oldfield gown for her 1993 wedding to Jordan's Prince Abdullah.

11. Crown Princess Masako of Japan -

After wearing traditional Japanese wedding attire, the Crown Princess changed into this more contemporary ivory gown.

I can't stop looking at her tiara and necklace! ;)
