Our favourite royal wedding dresses

From respectful, aristocratic unions arranged that have united foreign monarchies, to romantic tales of a commoner finding love with a prince, there’s no doubt why there is such a fascination with royal weddings.

In the spotlight of any royal wedding, is of course the dress. The tumbling stitches of white lace and silk that symbolises the untouchable purity of a princess and the regal perfection of a queen.
