We know that a lot of people in the press is writing about Kate Middleton’s every move and speculating about her upcoming wedding to Prince William. While the world is wondering what Kate Middleton’s wedding dress is like, let’s take a moment to look at royal wedding dresses of princesses in the past. Here are five of my favorite royal wedding gowns, which I chose because of their timeless appeal and the fact that they’re not over-the-top ostentatious.

My favorite royal wedding dress of all time has to be Princess Grace Kelly’s wedding dress, which was designed by MGM’s costume designer Helen Rose. Her inspiration was one of the ball gowns worn by the actress in the movie and with the help of 35 seamstresses, created this stunning lace and satin creation.

Princess Matte-Marit of Norway wore a simple long-sleeved gown designed by Norwegian designer Ove Harder Finseth. Her only accessories were a tiara and vintage veil. I think she could have used other wedding accessories such as a statement necklace, but I really like how the top of the dress hugs her figure and gives her waist a flattering, feminine shape.

Crown Princess Mary of Denmark wore a simple and unpretentious ball gown wedding dress by Danish designer Uffe Frank. This royal wedding dress achieves the perfect balance between old-fashioned elegance and modern style; the pleating on the skirt is an unexpectedly trendy detail.

Princess Marie Chantal of Greece wore a stunning lacy Valentino wedding dress, which required the handiwork of over 25 seamstresses and cost $225,000. This is probably the only royal wedding dress I like from the 90s.

Princess Maxima of the Netherlands also wore a Valentino wedding dress when she wed Prince Willem Alexander. It’s just as simple as Princess Matte-Marit’s gown, but with a more unique neckline.
