Celebrity weddings that have inspired, and continue to
inspire...
Be it
expensive, OTT, long-lasting, or cheap and quick...
We have been entertained by celebrity weddings for as
long as we can remember. They inspire us ...and
sometimes disgust us, but boy, they sure can be
original!
Maybe it the media that are to blame for
some part of the addiction, ...or should we thank them
for the fantastic platform of ideas and inspiration?
There are some commonly asked questions
about wedding gowns:
and, although
I might not always have the answer that a prospective
client wants to hear, I thought it wise to devote this
page as a pictorial of those who inspired bridal fashion
over the years.
Why
are weddings so expensive?
Lady Diana Spencer had by far the
most expensive wedding ever recorded at a whopping 52 million
pounds!

Do gowns have to be white?
The extravagant ceremony of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in
1840 has become the archetype of the traditional wedding of
today. Victoria was the first to wear white and inspired
generations of women to wear white on their special day.

Why
the "pomp and circumstance"?
"Because
they can..." said Me Elizabeth Taylor.
While
Me Taylor – Hilton – Wilding – Todd – Fisher – Burton – Burton –
Warner – Fortensky had 8 walks down
the isle, Me ZAZA Gabor did so NINE times. Neither of them
opted to wear any of their gowns a second time.

Can
I use the gown again?
Yoko Ono, who became famous when she married John Lennon, had a
ceremony that lasted only 3 minutes, and she made sure that
no-one could wear her gown again. She
had audience members who slowly cut off bits of
the garment until she was naked.

So,
It remains up to the individual to
live their dream. Enjoy spotting your favourite
celebrity... or

your dream gown designed and specially made for you.

Although bridal wear is my specialty, I do not proclaim to
be an authority on any of the other subjects I write about.
I merely share my experiences with those who wish to learn
from it, or just read about it.

I am not the designer of any of the gowns that are published

I, like so many others before and after me only draw
inspiration from the beauty of life.____
