Please seach the forums for existing threads as there are already many photos posted at Prince Rainier & Grace Kelly: 19 April 1956

And, just reminder to everyone to follow the Royal Forums rules with regard to posting photos.

My favourites:

* Mette-Marit : The dress suited her alot! To me it looked like a true Fairy-tale dress. MM looked extremely beautiful on her weddingday. The dress looked very simple , but so lovely! It was definitely my favourite!

* Claire and Anita: They're dresses looked very similar and very nice, IMO. Loved the collar!

* Máxima: Maxima's dress was the most interesting dress for me. The colour of the dress and the long veil looked amazing! The collar gave it the special touch! I also loved the cut of the "skirt".

In-between:

* Mary: The cut of the dress and the old veil were amazing! I just didn't really like the colour of the dress and Mary's hairdo looked a bit too huge to me. Nevertheless she was an amazing bride!

* Letizia: I think the weddinggown made her look very small... The collar of the dress was stunning ... I didn't like the cut of the "skirt"...

Bad ones:
* Mabel: .... the bows... especially the giant bows on the train ruined the dress!

* Märtha: I didn't really like the coat of the dress... The shoulder-parts weren't really my cup of tea... I think the dress made her look so small... well, I liked her Tiara and hairdo..

For me (not necessarily in the exact order):

The Best Ones:

1. Mette-Marit - I loved the dress, so simple yet elegant. I can't imagine Mette-Marit in any thing else. She looked beautiful on her wedding day.

2. Camilla - I was wondering before the wedding what can she choose, had some ideas, but her choices, both for civil ceremony and the blessing, were amazing. suited her perfectly.

3. Letizia - I admit, I didn't like the dress at first. But the more I see it, the more I like it.

4. Maxima - One dress I thought was perfect for the future Queen (or Princess Consort, whatever) of the Netherlands, she looked very smar in it.

5. Grace - One of the most amazing brides ever. She looked every inch a Princess.

6. Claire of Belgium - I like her dress and it suited Claire

7. Queen Elizabeth - Princess Elizabeth was a breathtaking bride, possibly my favourite. The dress was one of the most amazing I had ever seen.

8. Anite - Anita looked sweet in her dress, liked it very much


In Between

Mary - the dress was nice, she looked lovely, but there was nothing special in it. She did still look lovely

Marie Chantal - too much Grace Kelly attempt. And not a successful one.

Cristina - Cristina looked looked nice, and yet nothing special in the dress for me (imo).


Worst Dresses

1. Mabel - one word: bows

2. Diana - Diana looked lovely and sweet on her wedding day but the dress was terrible. Like a huge cake (and I don't like cream).

3. Astrid of Belgium - I love Astrid very much but that dress didn't flatter her, in my opinion.

4. Clotilde - the dress wasn't terrible but the shoes... I still see them in my nightmares.

My five favorites are-

Alexandra von Furstenburg(nee Miller) I gasped when I saw her as a bride. The dress was just the ultimate bridal gown IMO. MUCH better than her sister
Marie-Chantal. Alexandra looked like a Queen.

Fabiola of Belgium-a winter stunner, with the dropped waist lined in ermine or mink. I loved that gown!

Maxima Zorregueta(the Netherlands) I loved her gown so much that I clipped photos of it. I thought the neckline especially elegant, and the skirt of it was sensational.

Grace Kelly(Monaco) Honestly, what is left to say that hasn't been said already about this gown? I can't believe how tiny her waist was. The gown displayed her long elegant neck and entire body to perfection. A CLASSIC.

Infanta Cristina of Spain. Ahhh. PERFECTION. She had the perfect lace mantilla worn over a perfect hairdo and perfect diamond earrings. She had a stunning gown that showed off her beautiful shoulders. And she had a PERFECT GROOM. My goodness he is gorgeous! I have never seen Cristina look that amazing.


Honorable mention to Mette-Marit of Norway. I never thought she was beautiful but on her wedding day she surpassed all expectations. She chose a simple, elegant gown that showed off her tall slim figure.

The Best
Princess Margaret
Lady Sarah Chatto
Princess Claire--
Honorable mention to Infanta Cristina
as a side note, Queen Paola's family veil is absolutely stunning. The most beautiful veil I have ever seen

The Worst--tough b/c of all of the royal brides, the 3 mentioned above stand the test of time. You could wear Princess Margaret's dress today and it won't look dated. The one's I dislike are the one's that look like a function of their time--ie, Diana, Astrid. Mabel is just in a class by herself. The most heinous creation I have ever seen.

A few mos ago Point de Vue had an issue devoted to "nos plus belles mariees"...or our most beautiful brides of all time. I can't remember all their choices, but the ones I do remember are Grace Kelly, Queen Fabiola, Princess Maxima, Princess Clothilde d'Orleans, Diana Princess of Wales, one of the Shah of Iran's wives, and Princess Letizia.

I was so thrilled to find three of my choices on the list!

1)Grace Kelly-almost too beautiful to be real

2)Queen Fabiola of Belgium-the most "Queenly" bridal gown I have ever seen, so elegant and majestic! The most beautiful and moving Royal Wedding of the Sixties, in my opinion.

3)Princess Maxima-Stunning. I wanted to jump right out, grab some guy off the street and get married just based on that STUNNING wedding gown and veil!


I didn't agree with the choice of Princess Letizia...I think her face looked like an angel but her hair looked unwashed and the neckline made her look like The Wicked Queen in a fairy story. I would have given the Infanta Cristina her spot as most beautiful bride.

But then again, I am not on staff at Point de Vue!!

I absolutely adored the "calla lily" sleeves on Mary's dress. I'd say it's my favorite. I didn't really like Diana's dress, too puffy.
