Think timeless, bridal design. Think fashion legacy. Think Grace Kelly.
Often described as the most celebrated dress of the 20th century, Grace Kelly’s royal wedding gown is an inspiration for classic bridal fashion worldwide. The lace vintage gown was designed by academy award-winning costume designer, Helen Rose and is the epitome of classic bridal style.
From Kate Middleton to Naomi Biden, modern-day versions of this dress have walked the aisle of the grandest 21st-century weddings. With adaptations coming from the House of McQueen and Ralph Lauren, it’s no wonder this gown’s legacy constantly reaches new generations.
Joyce Young took great inspiration from Princess Grace’s classic bridal style and modelled her very first wedding dress on the royal gown. See our bride Caroline’s image below.
In true testament to its timeless quality, this dress was recently adapted for our bride, Helen. See Helen’s couture gown below.
Whilst these images are decades apart, this classic design will never date thanks to timeless design and the legacy of Princess Grace
This influence on Joyce Young’s design aesthetic can also be highlighted in her fabric choice and elegantly formed silhouettes.
Take our Tiffany gown for example, a modern twist on a classic shape. The subtle similarities of the full skirt and handmade lace bodice can be seen as a nod to Princess Grace’s dress.
To find out more on the legacy created by Grace Kelly’s wedding dress and its effect on modern bridal design, watch Joyce Young’s guest feature on the Alan Titchmarsh Show.
