Wedding in Spring

On 19th April 1956, the wedding of the century took place in the Principality of Monaco. It looks like a fairy tale: Grace Kelly, a screaming actress who enchanted the world with her icy beauty, marries Ranieri Prince Grimaldi, the most coveted golden bachelor in Europe. Grace Kelly’s wedding dress, made by two-time Oscar-winning costume designer Helen Rose, continues to be considered the most elegant of all time. It took 24 meters of silk taffeta and as many of gros de longre made of silk to make it, while a precious Valenciennes lace was used to cover the shoulders. The very long veil was decorated with 1000 pearls and lace. The marriage was organized in the name of luxury and effort. Among the 700 guests there were numerous Hollywood stars, such as Cary Grant, David Niven, Gloria Swanson, Ava Gardner. But also the great magnates of the time, from Aristotle Onassis to the Aga Khan.

On 29 April 2011 the wedding march resounds in the nave of Westminster Abbey while Kate Middleton, with the veil over her face and a tiara in her loose hair, approaches the altar on her father’s arm, smiling at her future husband, the Prince William. The now former Miss Middleton made everyone dream with a Sarah Burton dress for Alexander McQueen, inspired by the one worn by Grace Kelly. “I love you, you look beautiful” (I love you, you are beautiful). These are the first words of William to Kate at the altar: it is the fable of a commoner who, crowning his dream of love, becomes part of the royal family of England. With a million people in the street in London and two billion viewers around the world, the marriage of the future Kings and Queen of England wins a place among the most important media events of recent years.

In addition to the Royal Family, many international stars took part in the event of the year: Elton John, George Clooney and Amal, Victoria and David Beckham, Oprah Winfrey and Serena Williams. Meghan made her entrance wearing a simple but elegant white dress designed by Clare Waight Keller, artistic director of the French designer Givenchy. The bride walked the aisle of the chapel alone until, a few steps from her future husband, she was joined by Prince Charles who brought her up to Harry. A marriage different from the traditional royal ceremonies, which represented for the English monarchy a veritable wave of modernity.
