    I never dreamt of getting married when I was younger but I always loved the dresses. And some of celebrities or from film and TV have really wowed me or given great inspiration.

    I think my all time favourite celebrity dress is the one the Dutch princess Mabel wore. I love, love, love it.
    (I find all Dutch and Scandinavian princesses dresses beautiful)

    In the first episode of Pan Am - that dress is just swoonworthy.

    JLos 60s wedding outfit in The Wedding Planner is great too.

    When Katherine Heigl got married I knew I wanted a birdcage veil.

    And Gwen Stefanis wedding dress was quite the show stopper for me.

    And of course I liked Kate Middletons dress - though I like Grace Kellys or Princess Margarets better.

    Is she wearing this in Bridewars? I forgot! I saw it the other day on a wedding blog and loved it - I really heart the pockets!

    Haven't seen Breaking Dawn yet - need to google. I assume she's not wearing the victorian number like in the book? :-)

    I'm going to wear a polka dotted shorter 50s dress - with lots if bows attached :-) There's a rough sketch in my album - bodice will be different though.

    No only place I could ever find it was on a Scottish site online but at £2000 I could only dream - a few people have mentioned its similar style to Ian Stuart but I didnt find any of those that was a patch on this.

    My actual dress I have bought is nothing like this but if that lottery win comes up its mine! lol x

    Yes this Stephanie Allin dress made me look up Stephanie Allin - lots of beautiful dresses. I also find Belle & Bunty quite swoon worthy!

    I forgot in my first post - I also LOVE Grace Kellys weddimg dress in High Society and the simple vintage suit in S.e.x. and the city. I also like her in the big Westwood dress and the blue feather on her head but I think I only like it because it's her in a Westwood dress - it's not what I normally like.

    A lot of Candy Anthony and Dolly Cotoure dresses make me go Oooooohhh :-)

    This dress is not for me but I remember thinking wow! because it was different and showstopping at the time - Carolyn Bessette's dress when she married John Kennedy jr.

    I'm on a roll - Jennifer Love-Hewitt in the film with Sigourney Weaver and Gene Hackman. Where they trick the men into marriage but she actually really falls in love with Jason Lee. Now what's the name of the movie?? Anyhoo - that dress was so cute!

    Eva Longoria's wedding dress was very simple and beautiful!

    Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face... That dress is soo Audrey! Lovely :)

    When I was engaged at 17, I was adamant that I would get married wearing the dress from My Chemical Romance's "Helena" video. But in white and red instead of black and red. So silly!

    I loved Taylor Swift's dress in her video for Love Story, don't like her much but that dress was quite impressive!

    How could I have forgotten the Funny Face dress - obviously. The Jennifer Love-Hewitt dress is based on that one.

    Had to google the others apart from Lily Allens. Yes not bad indeed - her headpiece was similar to Kate Moss'

    I always want to add to this thread and forget!

    I forgot in my very first post the dress Stephanie Seymor wears in the November Rain video by Guns'n'Roses. That dress and that kiss most certainly made me go wow when I saw it for the first time when I was 12. Not my thing these days though.

    And the first dress I ever considered as 'my' dress is a white dress worn by Doris Day in 'The Glass Bottom Boat' - it's a very typical simple 60s dress - plain top half like a vest and a wider skirt - with daisies appliqued (is that a word?) all over. I always thought I get married in this dress but favoured polka dots over the daisies. But one day I'll make myself such a dress.

    I forgot about this thread - now as a power user I can illustrate better.

    I had the other day a short wobble why I didn't go for the most dreamy dress I have ever seen - I LOVED this dress when Princess Mabel of Holland got married. LOVED it. LOOOOOOOVED it.

    bow dress.jpg
    bow dress.jpg


    Apart from the dress above I always wanted to get married in this kind of dress - simple top but bigger skirt and daisies all over the skirt. I went with polka dots in the end. When I first saw this movie (The Glass Bottom Boat) as a child I already loved that dress and later on I was convinced I'll get married in it.

    And here's the Pan Am dress I had mentioned in my first post - it is so beautiful. Totally simple only a few thin bow elements on the straps and as a belt.

    Dream Dress
    Dream Dress

    Since I first saw this 2 years ago, this was my dream dress! It is Donald Trumps daughter Ivanka. I have no idea the price of the dress but I know her earrings alone cost $130,000.00 so I am guessing the dress was a wee bit out of my mere mortal league.

    Strange thing is I came across a dress that had been handmade by a woman in Tavistock and it was exactly like this dress....and in my size. She was selling it for £3200 and my h2b bless him (knowing how long I have had the pic of the Ivanka dress on my desktop) suggested we could buy it if we put our search for a bigger house back by a few months. My head may be in the clouds over this dress, but at £3200 my feet were firmly on the ground. I couldn't justify holding our life up for the sake of a dress. Quite happy knowing the dress I will be wearing on my wedding day cost £108 ...and we have our dream home instead.

    European princesses tend to have more elegant dress, one of my favourites is Princess Charlene of Monaco, just a shame there's supposedly so much unhappiness surrounding the wedding. It's an Armarni dress.

    And this is the Austrian crownprince if we would still have the monarchy (ended in the last year of world war 1). He married in the early 90s in the snow - that's when I decided I wanted a winter wedding because I loved her coat so much.
