Default Queen and Princess Wedding Gowns

I thought it should be of great interest if there was a thread where we could see pictures of the Wedding Gowns of current and previous Queens and Princesses. This way we could have direct access to such fantastic gowns and a way to see how fashion changes and how some gowns have the status of timeless. Any comments and details on each gown will be welcomed, as well as info on their makers and any anecdoques.
I hope this thread becomes popular, as it is the first one I propose since I'm still a commoner in the forums.
Thank you a lot.

Default Letizia's wedding gown

She married Crown Prince Felipe of Asturias on the 22nd of May 2004. She wore a gown made by the so-famous and recognised spanish designer Manuel Pertegaz. It was inspired in the "flor de lis" which is the symbol of the Borbon family. It was made of natural silk elaborated in a well-known taller in Valencia. The veil she wore was a present of Prince Felipe.
She wore the same tiara Queen Sofia wore in her wedding.

Thumbs up

Absolutely beautiful no question.:) I love the beautiful arrangement of colours, materials etc. Also Her bouquet (also beautiful and positively stunning) was in perfect keeping with her Pre, Actual and Post Wedding Attire, flowers would have seriously clashed. Finally, I love the fact that P Sarah Billah's selections were different (though remarkably beautiful) from the Orthodox White. Not that White itself isn't beautiful. Well done!:)
