Wonderful Wedding Dresses at The V&A Museum in London

  • Wedding dresses

Wedding dresses, their designers and who’s wearing what has been of interest to bridal aficionados for centuries. I for one, love looking at the most famous wedding dresses of all time and seeing how these beautiful gowns have become such a talking point for future brides and designers around the world. Princess Diana, Princess Grace of Monaco and more recently Princess (she may as well be) Kate Moss. Their dresses have inspired thousands and have graced the covers of many a glossy magazine and tabloid.

The Victoria and Albert museum in London, is currently hosting a truly stunning exhibition showcasing some of the most famous and celebrated dresses and designers of all time. Their dresses range from 1775 – an era where bridal dresses were much more conservative and formal not to mention luxurious and classic to 2014 where we can see how the wedding dress has evolved into a much more contemporary and personal item of clothing.
