I love Autumn Kelly's wedding dress. However, she left the Church to marry Peter Phillips, son of Princess Anne. If someone in the royal family marries a Catholic they have to give up their place in the line of succession. Even though he was like 642nd in line for the throne. (OK, he was actually 11th in line or something like that.) Stupid Autumn.
OK, so the late Mrs. JFK, Jr. isn't royalty but it seemed right to include her as she was considered married into American "royalty." I am sure this "slip dress" trend helped start the strapless trend. Bo-ho-ho-hooooring! I hate her dress. Period. And she got to kiss JFK Jr. Grrr. Hmm....John Jr. is another Catholic who left the Church to wed.
Grace Kelly. Perfection. The veil is exquisite. High necked but not a turtle neck. Love the sash.
Jackie Kennedy's dress. Her mother loved the design, Jackie didn't. I don't either. I keep thinking she had wheels sewn onto the front of her dress. The only redeeming feature of this dress is the bodice - snug without being unseemly. It does seem a teeny bit revealing for a Catholic wedding of 1953.
My ultimate favorite - wedding dress of then-Princess Elizabeth.
The embroidery was symbolic, everything that should be covered is, and she wore it with a real diamond tiara!
And THE Royal wedding dress of all dresses - the Diana DUD. I HATED this dress! It was fussy, precious, unsophisticated. Not to mention it looked dirty and wrinkled! Gee, adjectives that could describe Diana at many turns of her life...
I know she felt like the lamb going to the slaughter at her wedding but I am sure when Charles saw this silly, girly dress she wasn't the only one that felt that way.
May she rest in peace.
