This dress was seen as one of the great royal wedding dresses and its not hard to see why. The dramatic and chic design was perfect for the royal wedding and had everyone captivated. We feel that Zaragoza, Scarlett and Serenade have all taken inspiration from Dianas beautiful dress and brings to same amount of grace and drama flare as the princess of Wales dress.
- Meghan Markle: The Duchess of Sussex's wedding dress, worn for her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018, was designed by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy. The dress featured a boat neckline, three-quarter sleeves, and a simple A-line silhouette made of silk cady. This dress was seen as the embodiment of simplistic elegance. Inspired by the duchesses iconic dress, we think that Kadi and Willow shares many of the same characteristics, allowing our brides to feel like a timeless princess on their wedding day.

The dress featured a fitted bodice with a lace overlay, off-the-shoulder sleeves, and a full skirt with a sweeping train. This dress has quickly become a favourite due to the flattering; simple design that can suit any body shape. The chic designs has inspired many of our favourite designs, including Skye and Zadie. The embellished lace and feminine detail makes this perfect for any brides wedding.

For her star-studded event, she opted for an exquisite Oscar de la Renta gown that featured a high neckline and long sleeves, all carefully embroidered with pressed flower thread work. This was the wedding dress of the season and inspired many brides. The fashion-forward and modest dress was seen as very different from what many of the public thought she would wear and we loved it. Salome and Priya are both perfect if your wanting the timeless, traditional wedding look inspired by Paris herself.
- Hailey Bieber: Hailey Baldwin tapped Virgil Abloh and Off-White to design a custom gown for her September 30, 2019, nuptials to Justin Bieber. The details, including a lace tulle veil and all over pearl embellishment, are what make this dress special. Though the dress featured modern elements like a corset bodice, long sleeves, and an off-the-shoulder silhouette, what truly made the ensemble stand out was the drama-inducing train embroidered with "Till Death Do Us Part." We love the personalised touch that Hailey made on her veil and her dress. To be able to recreate this look, Zella B is perfect, with its feminine floral lace and sleek silhouette.
- Sofia Richie: Perhaps the most talked-about wedding of 2023 was that of Sofia Richie and Elliott Grainge. The couple celebrated their nuptials in Antibes back in April, with Richie wearing three bespoke Chanel designs. Her main ceremony dress was an embellished, lace gown with a criss-cross neckline that was inspired by a look from the spring/summer 2023 collection. This iconic dress was the talk of bridal wear 2023. Elegant, chic fashion-forward yet timeless. We feel that if you wanted to recreate this look Keona is the one. The sleek key hole back fitted dress leave a breath-taking image as is perfect for a bride wanted to have a little Sofia Richie magic on her big day.
