Princess ballgowns

Brides dreaming of the ultimate Cinderella-esque wedding, there’s nothing like the  ballgown. Gossamer layers evoke a more whimsical and fairy tale-like quality, while structured shapes deliver a regal feel.

High necklines

If you’re gunning for a classic look, consider high necklines – think Grace Kelly’s iconic wedding dress.

Long sleeves and lace

Kate Middleton’s Sarah Burton-designed wedding dress (which paid homage to Grace Kelly’s bridal gown)  sparked a worldwide trend for lace, long-sleeved wedding dresses – and who can blame them. It’s altogether elegant, feminine and timeless.

Grand Train Wedding Dress

When it comes to royal wedding dresses, you can’t leave out a grand train – Princess Diana’s famous ivory silk taffeta and antique lace gown had a 7.62m (25 foot) train! 

If you have a penchant for dramatic trains, here are 12 gorgeous styles to inspire you.

Bridal capes

Capes have always been associated with royalty, so if you’re planning to forgo the veil, this is a stunning alternative. For a more whimsical and dreamy take, go for ones in sheer fabric, like tulle.

Wedding dress overskirts

If you can’t decide between a more fitted silhouette or a ballgown, overskirts are your answer. It also imitates the cascading look of a train so you’ll get a dramatic effect for a grand celebration.

Duchesse satin
image

There’s something about duchesse satin that evokes a grand and formal feel – and an evergreen choice for wedding gowns. 

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden donned an unembellished off-shoulder duchesse satin gown when she tied the knot to Prince Daniel in 2010. 

Fuss-free and stylish
image

Do like Princess Charlene of Monaco who took a fuss-free approach with a sleek off-shoulder number from Armani for her nuptials in 2011, to Prince Albert of Monaco.

Delicate embroidery, appliques and sheer panels (a la Mira Zwillinger) lend an extra feminine touch.

Gleaming touches
image

There’s nothing like a gold or silvery sheen to instantly luxe up any wedding look. Add intricate embroidery, like baroque detailing, and you’ve got a gown fit for royalty.
