The wedding of  Jackie  and  JFK  beautifully exemplified how formal weddings came back into style in the fifties. Jackie Kennedy wore her grandmother’s lace veil, a tiara of orange blossoms and a gown stitched from fifty yards of cream faille. The classic formal wedding.

Another example of a formal wedding that influenced millions, is that of American actress  Grace Kelly  with  Prince Rainier III  of Monaco in 1956 in what was then called “the wedding of the century.”

Dress hemlines continue to rise loosening the strict formality of the 50s. According to  BridalGuide.com , “Gowns in the ’60s featured high-waisted empire lines, and many brides wore domed pill-box hats with bouffant veils flowing from the hat.” According to  About.com , ” Priscilla  wore a floor-length wedding gown of her own design: white silk chiffon, with beaded yoke, trimmed in seed pearls and topped with a three-foot tulle veil secured by a rhinestone crown.”

Mid-decade a more minimalistic style gained momentum. The tide turned when  Carolyn Bessette  married  JFK, Jr  in a slim sheath, bias-cut shift dress. Simpson was right in line with the burgeoning style of a sleeveless gown. John Galliano  designed an ethereal vintage-inspired wedding dress for supermodel  Kate Moss . The sheer slip dress was made of bias-cut silk and embroidered with gold sequins and beading.

Designed by  Sarah Burton  of  Alexander McQueen , Kate’s wedding gown had a lace appliqued bodice and skirt, and veil. The lace on the bride’s dress detailed a rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock, and was hand-made by the  Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace . The bridal train measured 2.70m! Kim Kardashian looked absolutely beautiful in a custom-made, haute couture wedding gown designed by the couple’s close friend,  Givenchy creative director  Riccardo Tisci .
More and more brides are favoring curve-hugging gowns – the mermaid is one of the hottest silhouettes. But really, anything goes. It’s about personal style.
