I thought in celebration, I would leave you with five of the most iconic wedding gowns in recent history.
I hope you enjoy them!
Audrey Hepburn, 1952
Hollywood sweetheart Audrey Hepburn's gown for her first wedding epitomized the 1950s charm. It is one of the most replicated wedding gowns of all time.
Jackie Kennedy, 1953
America's future first lady was a newspaper reporter when she wed Jack Kennedy. Her gown featured 50 yards of ivory silk taffeta and took two months to make.
Grace Kelly, 1956
To become a royal, Grace Kelly’s wedding dress features 100 yards of silk net and 15 yards of silk taffeta. Helen Rose designed the wedding dress with round collar, fitted bodice, and full skirt, which was stitched using old-century lace and peau de soei fabric.
Elizabeth Taylor, 1958
By her fourth wedding, La Liz proved you don't need to wear white to be a bride. This olive green silk dress dons a hood and sheer sleeves. But, unfortunately, I don't think her fashion-forward attire was the topic of many gossip columns when the wedding occurred. Eddie Fisher, the groom, had just left his wife, America's Sweetheart, Debbie Reynolds for the sultry, violet-eyed Hollywood diva.
Mia Farrow, 1966
She was 21. He was 50. Never one to follow convention, Mia Farrow chose a two-piece ensemble for her first wedding to the famous crooner, Frank Sinatra.
Princess Diana, 1981
Diana's wedding dress was a delicious fairytale dream-come-true puff ball. The gown, which featured 10,000 pearls and a 25-foot train, delighted billions of people at a time when dreams really didn't seem to come true. Unfortunately, we know Diana's marriage was anything but a dream.
What do you think of these gowns? Which one was your favorite?

I am one who loves going against the grain so I am going to have to say mz.taylors dress is the bees knees
Beautiful. I hope you have a great time :) x
now you must add Kate Middleton's! :) Enjoy the wedding!
Fun post, Jenny! I love Jackie's dress the best. Some are too "meuringu-ish" (Diana!) and others a little too simple (Mia, or Audrey) -- Jackie strikes the perfect balance. Grace, of course, has impeccable taste, as always. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
I loved looking at these. Grace Kelly and Princess Diana's gowns have definitely been the best in history.
Enjoy your cousins wedding!!
Grace Kelly's is my favorite. Beautiful. But I also like Mia's look.
I love Audrey's. Have a great time in Illinois!

My fave here is probably Grace Kelly's dress, although she doesn't look too happy in the photo, lol.
Love Grace's gown! And Mia's is stunning too :)

I'm almost never a fan of wedding dresses/ gowns. I think if we ever get married I'll wear something very non traditional, just a totally fabulous gown.
Love Grace Kelly's dress!
Audrey Hepburn looked sooooo elegant.
A wedding dress is a cult object. Even if the bride is not quite innocent, you wish that, during the ceremony, this dream about an ideal would come true.
Either Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn. Im designing my own wedding dress now and Ive had such inspiration from gowns like these. So classical and romantic.
Grace Kelly's has got to be the favourite! :)
I think Grace Kelly's was my favorite, but Kate Middeltons was amazing... hehe. I don't get all mushy about weddings, but I did love her dress!
I'll never get over Grace's gorgeous gown!
Grace Kelly's is killer! Love that chic and sophisticated silhouette...and still so mod after all these years!
Thanks for visiting and leaving such awesome comments, hope to see you back soon!
