As established in my last post, wedding dresses have been prominent in weddings for a very long time. Wedding dresses have always been a centerpiece in weddings. Here are a few, but most certainly not all, influential and gorgeous wedding dresses that have been worn by important women throughout history.
1. Queen Victoria to Prince Albert
Queen Victoria is largely credited to starting the trend of the white wedding dress. Her dress started a wave of trends, all being white and fairly modest.
2. Grace Kelly to the Prince of Monaco

The American Grace Kelly married The Prince of Monaco in 1956. She married him in a lace dress with long sleeves--inspiring people across the world. Her dress also served as an inspiration for princess bride Kate Middleton.
Jackie Kennedy's dress, made by African-American designer Ann Lowe, is a ivory-silk-taffeta dress. This dress was new and different to the times and cause a wave of similar dresses.
4. Princess Diana
Princess Diana's iconic wedding dress was as over the top as her elaborate wedding. It had a 25-foot train, big, puffy sleeves, and a classic princess ballgown. Princess Diana's dress is now valued as priceless.
4. Duchess of Cambridge Catherine Middleton
Kate's dress was designed by Sara Burton for Alexander McQueen. As it was inspired by Grace Kelly's bridal gown, Kate's dress has long lace sleeves and hand-embroidered dress with a 6 foot skirt. Already thousands of copies have been made around the world, as Kate's dress serves as a huge inspiration for brides across the world.
