Grace Kelly's wedding to Prince Rainier III of Monaco featured two stunning gowns designed by Helen Rose. The main gown, inspired by Renaissance styles, was crafted with luxurious materials, including 25 yards of peau de soie and 300 yards of Val lace. The intricate gown included a seamless bodice made of rose point lace and a bell-shaped skirt with a cathedral train. The veil, designed to frame her face, was embroidered with lace and pearls, adding to the gown's elegance. For the civil ceremony, Kelly wore a lace suit made of blush tan Alencon lace over silk taffeta. The outfit included a matching jacket and a delicate hat adorned with silk roses, completing her fairy-tale bridal look.
