Timeless Celebrity Inspiration for Bespoke Bridal Gowns

It’s no secret that when most celebrities decide to tie the knot, they go all out when it comes to the wedding dresses. This is because they can afford to do so, and it doesn’t hurt that some of these celebrities are personally acquainted with famous fashion designers. However, even if you're not a celebrity, getting the perfect dress doesn’t need to cost a fortune or come from a famous fashion house. You can opt for bespoke bridal gowns with inspiration taken from some of the most beautiful and timeless celebrity weddings. From classic and traditional to bold and modern, there is so much you can do to make your dress truly your own. The following are some popular inspirations for elegant outfits from recent history.

Ivanka Trump’s Modest Vera Wang Dress

For a big name like Ivanka Trump, people might have expected that she would wear something over the top and embellished on her big day, but she didn’t. As a matter of fact, she reportedly got the idea for her dress from another timeless celebrity - Grace Kelly. Trump’s lace-and-tulle Vera Wang design with a chapel-length train is classic with a modern twist, and it was totally "her". You can achieve the same effect for bespoke bridal gowns, as long as you choose the fabric wisely and find a designer with whom you communicate well.

Chelsea Clinton’s Strapless Silk Organza Dress

Chelsea Clinton wore a stunning silk organza dress on her special day, and she didn’t skimp on the embellishments, either. The strapless Vera Wang design also used silk tulle, and an intricately embellished belt accentuated her tiny waist perfectly. If you’re looking for stunning ideas for bespoke bridal gowns, Chelsea Clinton’s is an excellent place to start. Of course, you don’t need to replicate the same expensive materials, and even if you’re not personally friends with Vera Wang like the Clintons are, you can still have your own extraordinary version of Chelsea Clinton’s outfit.

Kate Middleton’s Long-sleeved Lace Perfection

Any list like this would not be complete without including Kate Middleton. More than two billion people worldwide watched the royal wedding, with Kate Middleton's dress at the centre of everyone’s attention. And why wouldn’t it be? She looked absolutely stunning in her long-sleeved lace gown designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. It was simple and restrained - the total opposite of Princess Diana’s puff-sleeved and embroidered style from years ago. Since the royal wedding in 2011, many bespoke bridal gowns have taken their inspiration from the Duchess of Cambridge, and lace—already a timeless fabric—has become even trendier.
