Thanks Beebs, I agree that Charles and Camilla's choices around their wedding really worked. The feeling was that the point was to be married to each other rather than to have a ceremony of pomp for a second wedding.
They still had a big wedding blessing at St George’s, Windsor. I like what she wore to the registry office wedding, and I thought the long coat dress she wore to the church service, was perfect. It ticked all the boxes.
Camilla's wedding ensemble is my favourite royal look of all time! The silvery blue coat-dress is so chic and romantic, and the feathered headpiece brought just enough drama to really elevate the look. I'm a massive fan of Camilla's style despite our age difference, and if I ever get married, hers is the style that I'd probably be looking to emulate. She looked fabulous 😍
Well said. I thought she looked stunning in that outfit. Very elegant. It coordinated with the feather in her hair and beautifully complimented her complexion and hair colour. Charles looked dashing, too. Best of all they both looked relaxed and happy. The group photograph of them is lovely. Everyone seemed well-pleased.😊 Indeed a memory to cherish.
Completely agree. I think it was about the marriage for C&C & everything else was a bonus. At first I wasn't thrilled with Camilla but think she has worked hard to just be a wife & supporter of Charles & the Monarchy 😊
I'm so glad you included Camilla here! Her approach to the wedding to Charles changed my opinion of her, and them, quite a lot at the time. They were both radiant. Phillip Treacy is a genius.
I LOVED loved loved Camilla's wedding dress, so tasteful, so suited for her and her age, just stunning, she's a style icon to me as much as Princess Catherine.
My mother’s wedding dress looked very much like Grace Kellys. Almost identical bodice & veil, shorter sleeves, and only tea length. My mom got married in 1951.
Funny, I have always hated that one. The stuffed puffy sleeves and the standing collar cut wide enough to make her neck look thick. A giant nope from me. 👎🏽
I agree her wedding dress did suit her perfectly! There were two fabric stores in Pitt Street Sydney (Australia) at the time - Griegs and Hendersons sadly both closed now - Hendersons specialised in wedding fabric - they had a replica of Anne’s wedding dress displayed in their front window the next day - pattern makers and seamstresses stayed up all night to get it made - you don’t see that anymore! @@DavinaWilson58
I totally agree. Princess Anne’s first wedding dress was stunning. It looks very plain and simple but has a beautiful embroidered train that comes from the shoulders but it doesn’t really show up that well. I was lucky enough to see it when it was in an exhibition in Chester and it is fabulous.
Queen Camilla looked absolutely stunning on her wedding day, her outfit was perfect. Why the ex yacht girl wore stark white was a bloody joke, scarlet would have been a more suitable colour for her. The Princess of Wales was beautiful, her dress was gorgeous such a perfect classy dress. Diana’s dress was too fussy for my liking, it was the fashion of that era she looked beautiful.
I agree with the dress Diana wore. When I first saw it, I was like "... that's it? It's...poofy, I guess?" Well, of course I was very young and haven't seen the wedding live. I, in fact, only rememeber bits of the funeral. But still, even years later, I don't like Diana's dress. But I absolutely adore the dress of Grace Kelley. Dress and the hairstyle. This woman was really pretty. Only the Princess of Wales tops this. 😊
Camilla dresses beautifully-she always looks impeccably turned out, perfectly tailored and appropriate for the occasion. I know she has the money, but even when she's dressing down, she always looks great. And she has magnificent tiara hair!
@michanone I'm a bit older than Diana-that dress was very much every little girl's dream princessy dress, and to me it was the choice of someone who was very young and hadn't quite settled on a style of dress. Ornate frilly and fussy outfits were part of the "new romantic" era of that time, but it does look very dated now.
I loved the grey/icy blue outfit Camilla wore, I thought it was absolutely gorgeous for a second wedding. As for Markle's dress LOL wearing a very pure white for her 3rd time down the aisle and one that didn't even fit her (like all of her clothes) - I 💯% agree with her Majesty questioning her choice. Catherine, The Princess of Wales dress was absolute perfection right down to the fit. Diana's dress was beautiful, it was the 80's, everything was big and pouffy! Being married myself in 1984, my dress was a cross between Diana's and Fergie's. More the style of Diana's but made with white satin like Fergie's. Hey, it was the times! Lol
The story about women sending QEII their vouchers for her wedding dress was so cute! It would make sense that they loved her, knowing that she willingly contributed to the war efforts in her own way. I can't imagine MM inspiring the same devotion in other people, what with her attitude.
What a nice look-book. I LOVE the late Queen’s dress - it’s just so special and unique. Catherine’s dress set the tone for her royal fashion style - timeless, elegant, and unflappably gorgeous. Let’s be real, Meghan would never have been happy with “small and understated.” Her mission was to outshine Catherine (Fail!) and to try to erase her past and age.
Megan’s dress was a prime example of her idea of her own self worth. It was obvious just what kind of person that she is by going over the top on her third wedding. I was surprised too by how she and Harry went straight to Hollywood for her idea of being a a superstar. I had been under the impression that they would go to Africa to do charity work but I have the idea that Harry was probably surprised by this also.
it was also to spite the late Queen, who had said, no white, no veil, so of course, she wore the whitest white and the long train, which ended up not matching the dress, and the dress itself was not the one approved by the Queen, that is why it did not fit and looked a mess on the day, and who can forget the hairdo that fell out of the tiara. This is what we call a 'self own' - and now we know why Queen Elizabeth had that expression on her face during the ceremony (additionally, Meghan purposefully did not curtsy as an additional snub)
When they said that they wanted to leave the UK, the RF (I think it was mostly William or the Queen but not 100% sure on that one) asked them if they wanted to live in Africa to work with charities but Harry and Meghan refused.
@@KeiPalaceRumor has it she did curtsey but there weren't any good pictures of it. Supposedly she curtseyed in the same area that Eugenie did but again no pictures.
@@KeiPalace That was what I heard, that Queen Elizabeth had approved a dress for Meghan but that was not what she wore. Harry took Meghan to Africa on a date and went camping. The first night they spent in the wild with a tent. Meghan insisted they move to a Glamping outfit which had huge tents, furniture, and staff. I don't see Meghan out in a sleeping bag with hauling everything in back packs and cooking over a fire.
Loved Camillas coat dress, it was so beautiful , especially with the feather head piece. I would like to see more of Beatrices wedding dress it was so romantic. Even though my teen years consisted of ruffled blouses, head bands worn across the forehead and shoulder pads , lol, I though Dianas wedding dress was awful. She was totally swamped by it
Totally agree about Diana's dress. I was looking forward to seeing it and it came as a major disappointment. Her hair also flopped with all the weight and ruined that iconic Lady Di look.
Yeah, right. Meghan claimed she was going to "modernize" the monarchy. but right off the bat, she retreated to a totally inappropriate traditional first bride outfit even though she had already been married once or twice. Sorry Meghan, "modern" doesn't mean ridiculously tacky.
could you send me pls the source where have you from, she is married for third time? Beebs toldit too in this vid. I would lie to see source, because I also heard this "hoax". thanks
Queen Camilla was beautifully dressed on her wedding day. They both looked so happy. Finally together. Pr8ncess Elizabeth was stunning! I love all wedding dress videos!
If you get the chance Beebs, please include Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones' (Princess Margaret's daughter) wedding dress by Jasper Conran. It's one of my favourites and is beautiful 😍
H&M were offered a smaller wedding in a gorgeous chapel (I believe in Scotland), but they did *not* want that; they *wanted* the "show" and actually demanded it. Had H&M been the sort to truly want a smaller ceremony, they would've been a different sort of couple, and would've definitely been seen differently. Unfortunately, they are who they are. Btw, Catherine's dress has been my absolutely favorite dress (so far), though Queen Elizabeth's is absolutely gorgeous and is a *very* close second.
I don't think Megan not wearing white for her wedding, and not having huge fanfare, would have helped in the long run. Why? Because she is just not likeable. She's a liar, a poser, and thinks so highly of herself...so self involved. Nope, nothing would have helped. Her true self came through.
A fitting comment. (Oh shucks, pun in no way intended.) It's unfortunate that the dress did not hold up to the passage of time. But so many people have treasured memories of that wedding. I remember my mother was glued to the TV screen. She was over the moon for Diana. I hope the two of them have afternoon tea in heaven now.
Might have misheard (tend to listen while occupying myself with chores) but I thought Princess Anne did wear a tiara, the Queen Mary’s fringe. In fact, that would be an interesting topic to cover, both of Anne’s wedding as both had very different approaches.
When I first saw Princess Graces wedding dress I fell in love with it . Fast forward to Catherine and it did remind me of Graces not just the lace but the neckline and the bustier but I love the bottom fit the veil tiara elegant perfect. Queen Camilla’s dress for the blessing I thought was perfect. HLMTQS dress absolutely gorgeous the fringe tiara is my favorite that wedding dress is impeccable as was she !
Really enjoyed this. Don't know if you've already covered it, but one of my favourite wedding dresses was Lady Sarah Chatto's. Very simple and beautiful material. Also the Duchess of Kent's dress was lovely, very much of it's time but quite grand.
Beebs, maybe you could do an edition of the older wedding dresses. Queen Victoria was said to be the first to wear white for her wedding, which is why we all still to this day wear white. Also, Mary of Tech (Queen Mary), Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (personally I really dislike it, but it was the style of the time). I’d love to hear your take on some of the older looks.
Grace Kelly's wedding gown was absolutely spectacular. The design and intricate, ultra feminine details were brilliantly executed. Another favorite of mine is Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden. Her gown fit like a glove and was so unique and super glamorous. It's my all time favorite because of its elegant simplicity but also because she radiated such joy on her wedding day as she glided down the aisle. Happy New Year, all!🥂🥳🎉
Fun fact to add to the details about Princess Elizabeth using rationing coupons for her dress: There were 12 wedding cakes, some contributed by Commonwealth countries. Because food was still scarce in Britain for years after the war, most of the ingredients for the principal cake were donated by the Girl Guides of Australia, where we had no such food shortages. The crates of ingredients, including eggs and butter, took a month to arrive in Britain by sea. Elizabeth’s wedding really was a worldwide event.
Morning Beebs..I love all the dresses but the Queen’s dress is my most favourite because it was symbolic and she wanted to send a message of hope and happiness after the war …she had flora from across the commonwealth embroidered on her dress but didn’t know about the four leaf clover ..how sweet ❤ also as the UK were still on rations I know that we Aussie’s sent over dried fruits for her wedding cake as they were hard to get also…another great episode x
Princess Margaret on her wedding day with her hairstyle, tiara and dress was breathtaking in it's perfect fusion of 1960s modernity and old school elegance.
Of the brides you covered here, my favorite dress was Princess Elizabeth’s. I’m also partial to Princess Eugeine’s, Princess Beatrice’s, and Zara Tindall’s.
If anyone is interested, there is a historical novel called The Gown by Jennifer Robson that is all about the seamstresses who made Queen Elizabeth’s wedding gown! Wonderful read! I just loved Princess Catherine’s wedding gown and Queen Camilla’s blue embroidered outfit! Stunning 🥰
I've loved most of the royal wedding looks. Some great choices were made and most of them capture the style of their respective era without looking too dated. My personal favourite is the Queen's. I'm an elder millennial and it's the sort of dress my gran wore to get married in the late 40s. I love the strong-shoulder, cinched waist, full skirt look of that era and the silk/satin usually used for those gowns was gorgeous. Meg's dress could have looked so much better had it been made of a softer fabric and properly fitted. On that note, just wanted to mention that I think pretty much the whole of the UK (the royalists at least) were excited about H & M's wedding and didn't begrudge them the extravagant event they had. At that time, we were all looking forward to the era of the "Fab Four". However, as you point out, it wasn't to be... Please cover Princess Margaret's and the more recent royal brides' dresses 😊
That was a perfect summary of some of the most beautiful wedding gowns. The gown Princess Elizabeth wore was the standout for me. I really loved Anne’s first wedding dress and I thought Sarah Ferguson had a gorgeous dress as well. Camilla’s dresses were beautiful and a great diplomatic choice. Her respect for the Church, the People and the Crown were embodied by her choices.
Camilla has become prettier as she’s aged. I love what she wore for their ceremonies. Grace Kelly’s dress is my all time favorite wedding dress. Phillip was so handsome. Really a fairytale prince appearance. Elizabeth Taylor’s first wedding dress is also an incredibly beautiful one. And I love the story of Princess Beatrice modifying one of Granny’s dresses.
Really enjoyed the look at more historical items more than ones from say the last 20 years, just seemed very refreshing! Camilla's outfits were perfect for the occasion.
For me, Elizabeth's wedding dress is simply perfect and the most beautiful dress of them all (I just love embroidery so much). That being said, she had a gorgeous figure to fill the dress, with beautiful proportions, so the dress and bride worked together perfectly for a stunning look.
I saw the Queen Camilla wedding dress at an exhibition in London it was beautiful, the details were stunning. I suggest you have a look at the video on youtube. The exhibition was at V&A around 9 years ago. I don't remember if the Queen Elizabeth dress was there, I remembered that I saw her dress but I'm not if it was at fashion exhibition at Kensington Palace or at V&A
That Jordanian wedding from a few months ago. Do that dress! The ceremony dress, not that big, ballgown thing. I’ve never liked slim-skirted wedding dresses. Always felt that was better left for New Years Eve sorta things. But my god that woman’s ceremony dress stopped me in my tracks. It was devastating. I have never seen a better looking bride.
Thank you for the lovely video, the thing all these dresses have in common is that they are also modest which allows you to appreciate the actual bride rather than the dress and the dress designer IMO. With Harry & the Meg's wedding, at the time, it wouldn't have made much difference if it was more low key, there was a little grumbling on the cost but only from the usual anti-monarchy quarters which didn't have anything to do with H & M this was par for the course and would have been like Christmas without bloating had it not happened (just plain odd) basically no one begrudged them their big day and it was low key in that it was not made a bank holiday which Charles & Diana's and William & Catherine's were as they were deemed state occasions as they were / are future monarchs the main controversy with H & M at the time as I remember it was that it was scheduled for the FA Cup final weekend and that DID NOT go down well (think Super Bowl weekend) this is another episode of recollections varying because at the time of the wedding both public and press saw the Meg as a great asset to the family and the country how little we knew..... later on we definitely wanted our money back.
How lovely! Thank you Beebs! What a treat. I love seeing these iconic dresses, even though we've seen them many times before. I can distinctly remember watching Charles and Diana's wedding, for hours and hours! The anticipation of what Diana's dress would look like was thrilling. She was so beloved that she could have worn a potato sack and everyone would have swooned! In the moment, the collective sighs on seeing her dress was very much an approving nod back at her. That being said, looking at it now, it is so much over the top that it seems ridiculous. Keep in mind, that was the 80s so everything was big and puffy, from shoulder pads, bangs, hair, puffy sleeves, and fashion in general was "too much" fabric and fluff and puff. I'm still in shock right now, seeing her POP out of that carriage and she looks almost clownish as all the volumes of fabric emerges all wrinkled and creased from being stuffed into the carriage. That alone would have made me a nervous wreck. But, she was marrying the future King of England. so that in itself must have been consoling. I'd love to see more examples of recent celebrity brides that have worn more than one dress for their weddings, like Catherine and Meghan. I've only seen a couple of photos of either bride and I would love to see more! Cheers Beebs!
Although not the first to wear white for her wedding, Queen Victoria is widely credited for kicking off the trend of wearing white, for royals and non royals. Images exist of the dress. Not sure if the dress itself is inspiring anyone today, it's very 1840.
I just wanted to add to what you said about the fact that the Tiara had snapped but I’m sure you know that the pearls which were gifted to her from her father were on the other side of London and one of the couriers had to with the crowds of people go get the pearls and bring them back to her! Well I guess it brought her blessings because there marriage lasted 73 years bless them, Margrets dress was simple but elegant if Meghan followed an elegant dress like Camilla I agree it would have been more appropriate!
The Royal School of Needlework does a lot of embroidery for the royal family-its based at Hampton Court Palace, and a lot of the tutors did embroidery for the panels that surrounded the king when he got anointed during the coronation. They did most royal brides veils as well.
My mother had Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip paper dolls. She was a little girl when they got married and was in awe of all the coverage, even here in the US. She still grumbles about her mother throwing them away after she graduated high school and went off to nursing school. lol
After the wedding she was Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh. Honorable mention Princess Eugenie not hiding her back surgery scar due to scoliosis. Princess Beatrice “recycled” a dress from the Queen’s closet. Zara Philips had a beautiful dress, it was perfect for her. Love royal weddings.
I had never seen the details on Queen Elizabeth's wedding gown, and the way the embroidered flower garland at the bottom curves up in the middle and echoes the dip along the neckline made me smile. What a thoughtful arrangement!
I remember getting up at the butt crack of dawn for Diana’s wedding, so of course I had to do the same for William and Catherine! The first thing I thought was, “it looks so much like Grace’s dress!” I think I even cried lol. I loved Camilla’s dress! It was so perfect for an older bride. Thanks for this. I had forgotten how beautiful Princess Elizabeth’s dress was!
The Royal wedding dresses I'd love to see the critique of are Princess Anne's (both), Zara''s, Sophie Wessex, and heck, let's just throw in Fergie. That was another wedding that I woke up at midnight to watch on the television. The dresses you were discussing today, I've never been a fan of Grace Kelly's, but I did love Queen Elizabeth's, and didn't realize all of the embroidery that went into it.
I know I'm in the minority here, but I've never been a fan of Grace Kelly's wedding dress. Grace Kelly was obviously one of the most beautiful women on earth, but in my opinion, the top part of the dress was just a mismatch to the bottom: tightly-fitted lace meets giant bell skirt, visually held together by a cummerbund. Of course, in many churches, cathedrals, and abbeys, it is required that women have their shoulders covered, and I agree with that. It's not the Moulin Rouge. It's a solemn religious ceremony and should be respected as such. My favorite wedding dress of all time was Catherine, The Princess of Wales's dress. Sarah Burton and the designers at Alexander McQueen absolutely knocked it out of the park with the dress's perfect combination of elegance, modernity, and femininity. It was beautiful, unpretentious, and regal. Her dress continues to blow everyone else's dress away, including my own. I got up that morning to watch the ceremony live from here in Texas, and the TV commentators were beside themselves. Catherine truly was a vision. My least favorite, for obvious reasons, was meg-nut's. Wearing a blinding neon white dress, a veil that stretched across the UK, and a viciously-argued-about tiara for her THIRD trip down the aisle was a big ol' middle finger to the late Queen, the royal family, and the entire institution and customs of the British monarchy. But then again, that's how that hateful narcissist rolls.
The facts that Megan only had her Mother at her wedding. No Father, no brother or sisters, no nieces or nephews. That was a massive red flag. If you can't pull it together with your relatives for your wedding day, you have some really big issues.
Of all the royal brides, taking into consideration age and circumstances, Camilla was beautiful - her whole appearance, appropriate attire but the outfit was totally stunning. Also it has stood the test of time (I will not draw comparisons)
Hi Beebs. Charles and Camilla were told by the Queen how their wedding day had to be in order for her to agree to the marriage. Camilla was so scared she almost didn’t get out of bed that morning. As for Meghan and Harry, the wedding was the start of the fallout for some but it’s more about the Oprah farce than the wedding. We wanted the big wedding and beautiful bride for Harry. Pity it went downhill after that.
Please cover Lady Sarah Chatto's wedding dress and Zara Phillips. I adore Sarah's dress. I don't love Zara's but I've never been able to put my finger on why.
One of my personal favourites was The Princess Royal, Princess Anne's wedding dress. We had the day off school to watch it! It also happened to be on the then Charles, Prince of Wales's 25th birthday.
Sarah Ferguson dress was the best dressed I've ever seen her and beautiful. In fact I would put it as my number one dress, followed closely by Catherine's dress and then the late Queen's
The Meg didn't care what people might think. Remember "What that woman wants, that woman gets. There was no way she would settle for anything less than what Catherine had.
God, how stunningly beautiful Grace Kelly was! Surely one of the most beautiful women ever. I loved her wedding dress, but let’s face it that woman would have looked good in a sack. I think both of Camilla’s wedding outfits were lovely, extremely flattering and appropriate for an older lady. She has a lot of style. Re Haz and The Meg, THE worst thing they ever did was to rubbish the royal family. I don’t remember anybody criticising their wedding (except people who don’t like the monarchy and/or big weddings) prior to the Oprah interview. But they burned their bridges behind them and now everything they do or did is judged harshly.
I'd love to see different Royal families. Being a Spaniard it would be nice to hear your take on our queen's dress, Letizia, made by Pertegaz, or queen Sphia, then a princess of Greece. For instance.
At the time Queen Elizabeth married, clothing was still rationed here in the UK. She saved up her own clothing ration coupons to buy to material for her dress. Because she was the future Queen, the government gave her 200 extra coupons (which wasn't that many if you think a very basic raincoat cost 15 coupons!). Thousands of women across the UK sent clothing coupons to Buckingham Palace, but they all had to be returned because it was illegal to use another person's rations.
Thanks Beebs, I agree that Charles and Camilla's choices around their wedding really worked. The feeling was that the point was to be married to each other rather than to have a ceremony of pomp for a second wedding.

Camilla has best hats and head pieces in the entire family. I like that she kept it appropriate.
her hair! so magnificent! @@kakacoco5
There was no way The Meg would have gone an understated wedding. She wanted all the pomp and circumstance.
And yet she labelled it a 'spectacle' .
Megga wanted the tiara moment and wouldn't settle for anything else. A trainwreck from the jump. Not a humble bone in her body.
Big or small wedding, doesn’t mean much, it’s all the other disgusting backstabbing..
I thought Camilla was the height of elegance and so appropriate for a second wedding. She shows such class!
I thought Catherine's wedding dress was beautiful, she looked fabulous.
Less is more. She looked perfect.
@@maiaallman4635 I agree with you.
Catherine's dress is one of the most perfect wedding dresses I've ever seen. She looked absolutely gorgeous.
I also loved the dress she wore for the evening reception. I thought she looked so soft and romantic that you just wanted to hug her. Lucky William.
Well I am going to be unpopular here but I did not like Catherine’s dress. I thought it looked like Princess Grace dress from the 1950’s.

I noticed that her hair ,more or less her bangs looked flat ,some one should have fixed it before she headed off to the church .
Every time I see that photo of MM coming out of the church all I see is the evil Ursula in Little Mermaid. Its something you can never un-see.
Yeah, right. Meghan claimed she was going to "modernize" the monarchy. but right off the bat, she retreated to a totally inappropriate traditional first bride outfit even though she had already been married once or twice. Sorry Meghan, "modern" doesn't mean ridiculously tacky.
By modernize she probably meant monetize with her leading the charge.
@@mrsterious5845 Bwahahaha! 🤣😝😋 You should write comedy scripts!
Markle looked ridiculous in that virgin white gown and veil .she was almost 40 trying to play at a pure & virgin first time bride
could you send me pls the source where have you from, she is married for third time? Beebs toldit too in this vid. I would lie to see source, because I also heard this "hoax". thanks
@@Bakoska Learn to Google. Geesh, you're lazy.
Queen Camilla was beautifully dressed on her wedding day. They both looked so happy. Finally together. Pr8ncess Elizabeth was stunning!
I love all wedding dress videos!
If you get the chance Beebs, please include Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones' (Princess Margaret's daughter) wedding dress by Jasper Conran. It's one of my favourites and is beautiful 😍
Oh mine too! It’s so elegant and timeless
@@chubbermommyYes and very romantic. The sort of dress I wish I could have afforded when I got married .
I would love to see more about the Princess Royal Anne's dress, which had medieval inspired sleeves! I've always thought it had such a unique look.
H&M were offered a smaller wedding in a gorgeous chapel (I believe in Scotland), but they did *not* want that; they *wanted* the "show" and actually demanded it. Had H&M been the sort to truly want a smaller ceremony, they would've been a different sort of couple, and would've definitely been seen differently. Unfortunately, they are who they are. Btw, Catherine's dress has been my absolutely favorite dress (so far), though Queen Elizabeth's is absolutely gorgeous and is a *very* close second.
I don't think Megan not wearing white for her wedding, and not having huge fanfare, would have helped in the long run. Why? Because she is just not likeable. She's a liar, a poser, and thinks so highly of herself...so self involved. Nope, nothing would have helped. Her true self came through.
Princess Anne’s first wedding dress and the Duchess of York’s wedding dress are my favorites
In my opinion, Princess Diana’s wedding dress was so over the top and certainly not her. That dress wore her, she didn’t wear it.
A fitting comment. (Oh shucks, pun in no way intended.) It's unfortunate that the dress did not hold up to the passage of time. But so many people have treasured memories of that wedding. I remember my mother was glued to the TV screen. She was over the moon for Diana. I hope the two of them have afternoon tea in heaven now.
Might have misheard (tend to listen while occupying myself with chores) but I thought Princess Anne did wear a tiara, the Queen Mary’s fringe. In fact, that would be an interesting topic to cover, both of Anne’s wedding as both had very different approaches.
Princess Anne wore a tiara for her first wedding, kept everything simple for her second wedding.
I loved princess Beatrice's dress. And the sweet nod to the Queen
Grace Kelly's has ALWAYS been my favorite.
Grace Kelly’s dress is timeless. You could wear that dress today, it is perfection.
When I first saw Princess Graces wedding dress I fell in love with it . Fast forward to Catherine and it did remind me of Graces not just the lace but the neckline and the bustier but I love the bottom fit the veil tiara elegant perfect. Queen Camilla’s dress for the blessing I thought was perfect. HLMTQS dress absolutely gorgeous the fringe tiara is my favorite that wedding dress is impeccable as was she !
I was hoping you'd cover Grace Kelly. I 💕 her wedding dress.
Really enjoyed this. Don't know if you've already covered it, but one of my favourite wedding dresses was Lady Sarah Chatto's. Very simple and beautiful material. Also the Duchess of Kent's dress was lovely, very much of it's time but quite grand.
Camillas blue coat dress has always been my favourite of all the brides.
Beebs, maybe you could do an edition of the older wedding dresses. Queen Victoria was said to be the first to wear white for her wedding, which is why we all still to this day wear white. Also, Mary of Tech (Queen Mary), Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (personally I really dislike it, but it was the style of the time). I’d love to hear your take on some of the older looks.
Queen Camilla's dress for the religious blessing was absolutely gorgeous. The color was perfect as was the hat.
Grace Kelly's wedding gown was absolutely spectacular. The design and intricate, ultra feminine details were brilliantly executed. Another favorite of mine is Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden. Her gown fit like a glove and was so unique and super glamorous. It's my all time favorite because of its elegant simplicity but also because she radiated such joy on her wedding day as she glided down the aisle. Happy New Year, all!🥂🥳🎉
Camilla’s wedding dresses for her wedding to Charles are perfect second wedding dresses🙂
Hey fun video. Maybe in future Jackie Kennedy or Liz Taylor. Maybe Lana Turner
Fun fact to add to the details about Princess Elizabeth using rationing coupons for her dress: There were 12 wedding cakes, some contributed by Commonwealth countries. Because food was still scarce in Britain for years after the war, most of the ingredients for the principal cake were donated by the Girl Guides of Australia, where we had no such food shortages. The crates of ingredients, including eggs and butter, took a month to arrive in Britain by sea. Elizabeth’s wedding really was a worldwide event.
Morning Beebs..I love all the dresses but the Queen’s dress is my most favourite because it was symbolic and she wanted to send a message of hope and happiness after the war …she had flora from across the commonwealth embroidered on her dress but didn’t know about the four leaf clover ..how sweet ❤ also as the UK were still on rations I know that we Aussie’s sent over dried fruits for her wedding cake as they were hard to get also…another great episode x
HMTQ epitomized the Commonwealth in her gown
Princess Margaret on her wedding day with her hairstyle, tiara and dress was breathtaking in it's perfect fusion of 1960s modernity and old school elegance.
Of the brides you covered here, my favorite dress was Princess Elizabeth’s.
I’m also partial to Princess Eugeine’s, Princess Beatrice’s, and Zara Tindall’s.
If anyone is interested, there is a historical novel called The Gown by Jennifer Robson that is all about the seamstresses who made Queen Elizabeth’s wedding gown! Wonderful read!
I just loved Princess Catherine’s wedding gown and Queen Camilla’s blue embroidered outfit! Stunning 🥰
I've loved most of the royal wedding looks. Some great choices were made and most of them capture the style of their respective era without looking too dated.
My personal favourite is the Queen's. I'm an elder millennial and it's the sort of dress my gran wore to get married in the late 40s. I love the strong-shoulder, cinched waist, full skirt look of that era and the silk/satin usually used for those gowns was gorgeous.
Meg's dress could have looked so much better had it been made of a softer fabric and properly fitted.
On that note, just wanted to mention that I think pretty much the whole of the UK (the royalists at least) were excited about H & M's wedding and didn't begrudge them the extravagant event they had. At that time, we were all looking forward to the era of the "Fab Four". However, as you point out, it wasn't to be...
Please cover Princess Margaret's and the more recent royal brides' dresses 😊
That was a perfect summary of some of the most beautiful wedding gowns. The gown Princess Elizabeth wore was the standout for me. I really loved Anne’s first wedding dress and I thought Sarah Ferguson had a gorgeous dress as well. Camilla’s dresses were beautiful and a great diplomatic choice. Her respect for the Church, the People and the Crown were embodied by her choices.
Camilla’s wedding outfits are the nicest I’ve ever seen for women in her age group, she looked lovely. Her headpiece and hat, stunning.
Camilla has become prettier as she’s aged. I love what she wore for their ceremonies. Grace Kelly’s dress is my all time favorite wedding dress.
Phillip was so handsome. Really a fairytale prince appearance.
Elizabeth Taylor’s first wedding dress is also an incredibly beautiful one. And I love the story of Princess Beatrice modifying one of Granny’s dresses.
LOVE Camilla‘s and Kate‘s dresses. They looked stunning. I would love to see you featuring the dress from Queen Letizia of Spain. 🍀🌺🌼
Really enjoyed the look at more historical items more than ones from say the last 20 years, just seemed very refreshing! Camilla's outfits were perfect for the occasion.
My all time favourite was Anne's dress. I just loved the medieval style sleeves, the dress was quite plain, but it really suited her.
For me, Elizabeth's wedding dress is simply perfect and the most beautiful dress of them all (I just love embroidery so much). That being said, she had a gorgeous figure to fill the dress, with beautiful proportions, so the dress and bride worked together perfectly for a stunning look.
I saw the Queen Camilla wedding dress at an exhibition in London it was beautiful, the details were stunning. I suggest you have a look at the video on youtube. The exhibition was at V&A around 9 years ago. I don't remember if the Queen Elizabeth dress was there, I remembered that I saw her dress but I'm not if it was at fashion exhibition at Kensington Palace or at V&A
That Jordanian wedding from a few months ago. Do that dress! The ceremony dress, not that big, ballgown thing. I’ve never liked slim-skirted wedding dresses. Always felt that was better left for New Years Eve sorta things. But my god that woman’s ceremony dress stopped me in my tracks. It was devastating. I have never seen a better looking bride.
so agree!
Grace Kelly was aptly named.
Thank you for the lovely video, the thing all these dresses have in common is that they are also modest which allows you to appreciate the actual bride rather than the dress and the dress designer IMO.
With Harry & the Meg's wedding, at the time, it wouldn't have made much difference if it was more low key, there was a little grumbling on the cost but only from the usual anti-monarchy quarters which didn't have anything to do with H & M this was par for the course and would have been like Christmas without bloating had it not happened (just plain odd) basically no one begrudged them their big day and it was low key in that it was not made a bank holiday which Charles & Diana's and William & Catherine's were as they were deemed state occasions as they were / are future monarchs the main controversy with H & M at the time as I remember it was that it was scheduled for the FA Cup final weekend and that DID NOT go down well (think Super Bowl weekend) this is another episode of recollections varying because at the time of the wedding both public and press saw the Meg as a great asset to the family and the country how little we knew..... later on we definitely wanted our money back.
I liked everything about Grace Kelly's wedding dress except for the swimming cap headpiece.
How lovely! Thank you Beebs! What a treat. I love seeing these iconic dresses, even though we've seen them many times before. I can distinctly remember watching Charles and Diana's wedding, for hours and hours! The anticipation of what Diana's dress would look like was thrilling. She was so beloved that she could have worn a potato sack and everyone would have swooned! In the moment, the collective sighs on seeing her dress was very much an approving nod back at her. That being said, looking at it now, it is so much over the top that it seems ridiculous. Keep in mind, that was the 80s so everything was big and puffy, from shoulder pads, bangs, hair, puffy sleeves, and fashion in general was "too much" fabric and fluff and puff. I'm still in shock right now, seeing her POP out of that carriage and she looks almost clownish as all the volumes of fabric emerges all wrinkled and creased from being stuffed into the carriage. That alone would have made me a nervous wreck. But, she was marrying the future King of England. so that in itself must have been consoling.
I'd love to see more examples of recent celebrity brides that have worn more than one dress for their weddings, like Catherine and Meghan. I've only seen a couple of photos of either bride and I would love to see more! Cheers Beebs!
Diana's dress was so 1980's big and poufy! Loved it. ❤
Loved Grace Kelly's dress plus a beautiful engagement ring.
poor Diana, caught in the carriage in the awful pile of muslin which wrinkled so badly, she was drowning in it, I don't think it aged well at all!
I didn’t like Diana’s dress and Ididnt like Princess Grace either,her dress not her.
Princess Elizabeth sent back the clothing coupons with a thank you letter and a piece of wedding cake.
Although not the first to wear white for her wedding, Queen Victoria is widely credited for kicking off the trend of wearing white, for royals and non royals. Images exist of the dress. Not sure if the dress itself is inspiring anyone today, it's very 1840.
I have always liked Princess Anne’s wedding dress as it was perfect for the 70’s when she was married. I especially loved the sleeves.
I just wanted to add to what you said about the fact that the Tiara had snapped but I’m sure you know that the pearls which were gifted to her from her father were on the other side of London and one of the couriers had to with the crowds of people go get the pearls and bring them back to her! Well I guess it brought her blessings because there marriage lasted 73 years bless them, Margrets dress was simple but elegant if Meghan followed an elegant dress like Camilla I agree it would have been more appropriate!
Camilla’s wedding dress and feather headpiece was absolutely beautiful. They both looked happy and relieved.
The Royal School of Needlework does a lot of embroidery for the royal family-its based at Hampton Court Palace, and a lot of the tutors did embroidery for the panels that surrounded the king when he got anointed during the coronation. They did most royal brides veils as well.
My mother had Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip paper dolls. She was a little girl when they got married and was in awe of all the coverage, even here in the US. She still grumbles about her mother throwing them away after she graduated high school and went off to nursing school. lol
Thanks for saying that you wouldn’t change a thing on QEII’s wedding dress. It brought a tear to my eye. What a lovely thing to see and say.
After the wedding she was Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh. Honorable mention Princess Eugenie not hiding her back surgery scar due to scoliosis. Princess Beatrice “recycled” a dress from the Queen’s closet. Zara Philips had a beautiful dress, it was perfect for her. Love royal weddings.
Princess Anne, Princess Margaret and Queen Camilla's dresses were my favourite from The British Royal Family. All so different and so beautiful.
My favs 1) Grace Kelly 2) Catherine, Princess of Wales 3) Princess Eugenie
I had never seen the details on Queen Elizabeth's wedding gown, and the way the embroidered flower garland at the bottom curves up in the middle and echoes the dip along the neckline made me smile. What a thoughtful arrangement!
I remember getting up at the butt crack of dawn for Diana’s wedding, so of course I had to do the same for William and Catherine! The first thing I thought was, “it looks so much like Grace’s dress!” I think I even cried lol. I loved Camilla’s dress! It was so perfect for an older bride. Thanks for this. I had forgotten how beautiful Princess Elizabeth’s dress was!
The Meg has a lot of class! All third!
The Royal wedding dresses I'd love to see the critique of are Princess Anne's (both), Zara''s, Sophie Wessex, and heck, let's just throw in Fergie. That was another wedding that I woke up at midnight to watch on the television.
The dresses you were discussing today, I've never been a fan of Grace Kelly's, but I did love Queen Elizabeth's, and didn't realize all of the embroidery that went into it.
Queen Elizabeth was stunning
My favourite royal wedding dress is the one worn by Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden.
Albeit it was a tad to long. She looked marvelous. Also, very happy.
I know I'm in the minority here, but I've never been a fan of Grace Kelly's wedding dress. Grace Kelly was obviously one of the most beautiful women on earth, but in my opinion, the top part of the dress was just a mismatch to the bottom: tightly-fitted lace meets giant bell skirt, visually held together by a cummerbund.
Of course, in many churches, cathedrals, and abbeys, it is required that women have their shoulders covered, and I agree with that. It's not the Moulin Rouge. It's a solemn religious ceremony and should be respected as such.
My favorite wedding dress of all time was Catherine, The Princess of Wales's dress. Sarah Burton and the designers at Alexander McQueen absolutely knocked it out of the park with the dress's perfect combination of elegance, modernity, and femininity. It was beautiful, unpretentious, and regal. Her dress continues to blow everyone else's dress away, including my own. I got up that morning to watch the ceremony live from here in Texas, and the TV commentators were beside themselves. Catherine truly was a vision.
My least favorite, for obvious reasons, was meg-nut's. Wearing a blinding neon white dress, a veil that stretched across the UK, and a viciously-argued-about tiara for her THIRD trip down the aisle was a big ol' middle finger to the late Queen, the royal family, and the entire institution and customs of the British monarchy. But then again, that's how that hateful narcissist rolls.
I adore your content and i find myself very interested in subjects i would have never explored on my own. Thank you!!
Loved both of camillas dresses also the queen but my favourite has to go to princess Catherine she looked absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤❤
The boys were both joint Best Men for Charles. So the naysayers were shocked to see the boys excited and jittery.
The facts that Megan only had her Mother at her wedding. No Father, no brother or sisters, no nieces or nephews. That was a massive red flag. If you can't pull it together with your relatives for your wedding day, you have some really big issues.
Of all the royal brides, taking into consideration age and circumstances, Camilla was beautiful - her whole appearance, appropriate attire but the outfit was totally stunning. Also it has stood the test of time (I will not draw comparisons)
Camillas was fab. Catherines was elegance and her evening dress was a strapless ballgown with a bling belt and little fluffy shrug. Timeless
Hi Beebs. Charles and Camilla were told by the Queen how their wedding day had to be in order for her to agree to the marriage. Camilla was so scared she almost didn’t get out of bed that morning. As for Meghan and Harry, the wedding was the start of the fallout for some but it’s more about the Oprah farce than the wedding. We wanted the big wedding and beautiful bride for Harry. Pity it went downhill after that.
And yet, Charles and Camilla had their cheering crowds, and afterwards they both burst into tears, as they feared no one would show up.
Grace Kelly really did live up to her name. Wow.
You could do a whole series on the wedding attire of Elizabeth Taylor! LOL!
Please cover Lady Sarah Chatto's wedding dress and Zara Phillips. I adore Sarah's dress. I don't love Zara's but I've never been able to put my finger on why.
Grace Kelly is my favorite because everyone called me Gracie when I was younger because I resembled her a bit!
I loved Queen Elizabeth's wedding dress. Its my favorite. It's too bad it's become discolored over the years.
Although she looked rather lumpen in it, "Fergie's" wedding dress was very attractive.
I would love for you to talk about Princess Anne's first wedding dress. I think it suited her so well.
I love all the dresses but my favourite is Queen Elizabeth's ❤
One of my personal favourites was The Princess Royal, Princess Anne's wedding dress. We had the day off school to watch it! It also happened to be on the then Charles, Prince of Wales's 25th birthday.
Sarah Ferguson dress was the best dressed I've ever seen her and beautiful. In fact I would put it as my number one dress, followed closely by Catherine's dress and then the late Queen's
Loved Princess Margaret 's
She looked lovely.
The Meg didn't care what people might think. Remember "What that woman wants, that woman gets. There was no way she would settle for anything less than what Catherine had.
Awww, you're killing me with this one. I love royal weddings! 😍
God, how stunningly beautiful Grace Kelly was! Surely one of the most beautiful women ever. I loved her wedding dress, but let’s face it that woman would have looked good in a sack. I think both of Camilla’s wedding outfits were lovely, extremely flattering and appropriate for an older lady. She has a lot of style.
Re Haz and The Meg, THE worst thing they ever did was to rubbish the royal family. I don’t remember anybody criticising their wedding (except people who don’t like the monarchy and/or big weddings) prior to the Oprah interview. But they burned their bridges behind them and now everything they do or did is judged harshly.
I'd love to see different Royal families. Being a Spaniard it would be nice to hear your take on our queen's dress, Letizia, made by Pertegaz, or queen Sphia, then a princess of Greece. For instance.
At the time Queen Elizabeth married, clothing was still rationed here in the UK. She saved up her own clothing ration coupons to buy to material for her dress. Because she was the future Queen, the government gave her 200 extra coupons (which wasn't that many if you think a very basic raincoat cost 15 coupons!). Thousands of women across the UK sent clothing coupons to Buckingham Palace, but they all had to be returned because it was illegal to use another person's rations.
Please make a video on Princess Anne's first wedding dress! I think it's underrated
