Most Iconic Dresses Of All Time
There are many styles of wedding dress that have stood the test of time. Even without
a team of trained professionals or couture designers by your side, you can create these iconic looks. Whether you want to emulate 1950’s glamour, bring an edge to tradition- al styles, or prefer the high fashion styles, there is a dress style to suit your taste.
KATE MIDDLETON
Style: Long sleeved wedding dress. Designed by Sarah Burton. Kate’s dress achieves a balance between tradition and contemporary style. Ivory satin, appliquéd lace bodice, lace long sleeves, low neckline and a full skirt and train create a classic look. The dress has many components which can be incorporated into your own dress of choice.
JACQUELINE BOUVIER
Or otherwise known as the famous style icon Jackie O, wore a delicate and soft bouffant wedding dress made from nearly 50 feet of ivory silk taffeta. Consider adopt- ing the portrait neckline if you would like to recreate the look, which draws attention to your collar bone, and the feminine and attering detailing of the tted bodice.
OLIVIA PALERMO
Olivia veered away from tradition with
her beautifully chic three-piece wedding dress by Caroline Herrera, which included a cream coloured cashmere sweater, white shorts and a tulle skirt overlay. You can get the look by considering a two piece out t that incorporates a light, owing skirt and a more tted cardigan. Subtle details like beading can add your own personal touch to your dress.
KATE MOSS
Kate’s stunning custom champagne coloured wedding dress by John Gal- liano caught the eye with its metallic and rhinestone embellishments and a sheer overlay which created a beau- tiful plunging neckline. To emulate Kate’s signature boho and glamorous style, be sure to incorporate a delicate sheer neckline.
