19 50s

This was a decade in which Hollywood reigned

supreme as a string of starlets tied the knot

(Elizabeth Taylor four times), dictating bridal

fashion. Ballgown dresses were in vogue, as

confirmed by Jacqueline Lee Bouvier’s, which,

she later confessed ‘looked like a lampshade’.

September 1953

Jacqueline Lee Bouvier

to John F Kennedy.

Sabine Ghanem wore a

Schiaparelli couture gown,

complete with a golden sun

motif crafted from 500,000

hand-embroidered sequins,

for her May 2015 wedding to
