14 Real Life Princesses’ Wedding Gowns

I’ve always been fascinated by real life princesses.

Growing up, I knew more about Grace Kelly than Cinderella. But enough about me – are you curious about their lives as well? Real life princesses seem as if they already look glamorous upon waking up, but they look a million times more glamorous on the day the whole world fixes its eyes on them: their wedding day.

Ever wondered about real life princesses’ wedding gowns? We fantasise about them, all the time!

Probably the most amazing factoid about then Princess Elizabeth’s wedding dress is how the material had to be purchased using ration coupons! It was designed by Norman Hartnell and is said to had been inspired by Botticelli’s painting, “Primavera,” in 1482.

One of the most famous dresses in the world was worn by one of the most loved princesses to ever grace this planet, Princess Di. The iconic wedding dress was made with ivory silk taffeta and antique lace and was then valued at £9000.
