Princess Anne was the first of the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh's children to get married, and she was also the first to have a second marriage. For both ceremonies, she chose beautiful outfits, opting for a Tudor style dress made by designer, Maureen Baker for her wedding to Captain Mark Phillips in 1973.
The dress featured a fitted bodice with high neck and flared skirt that led to a seven-foot-long train. The dress was made from pure white silk, whilst a white tulle veil was held in place by the same fringe tiara that Queen Elizabeth II had worn for her wedding in 1947 and which Princess Beatrice would use for her marriage in 2020.

Princess Margaret's choice of wedding dress has gone down in fashion history, inspiring brides today with its simplicity and elegance.
She turned to royal couturier Norman Hartnell to design her gown - the same designer who had made her sister the then Princess Elizabeth's wedding dress.
The bride opted for an understated dress, with a fitted, tailored bodice and waist, long sleeves, and full-length skirt.
Unlike many other royal dresses, this one had no embroidery of flowers or other motifs. Instead, it was made from plain, silk organza, which makes it refreshingly modern.

When Queen Elizabeth II (then Princess Elizabeth) married Prince Philip, she had to purchase the material with rationing tokens, given that it was just after the Second World War. However, that didn't stop her dress being anything less than breathtaking.
Designed by the Court Designer Norman Hartnell, and inspired by Botticelli's famous painting Primavera, her wedding dress featured a 15-foot train as well as a fitted bodice and a floor-length panelled skirt. It was decorated with crystals and 10,000 seed pearls, all imported from the United States of America.

Princess Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank in 2018, and she wore a show-stopping gown by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos.
A press release from the Royal family explained: "During several fittings the dress was developed layer by layer, constructing it from the corset and the complex underskirt to the fitted bodice and full pleated skirt. The dress features a neckline that folds around the shoulders to a low back that drapes into a flowing full-length train. The low back feature on the dress was at the specific request of Princess Eugenie who had surgery aged 12 to correct scoliosis."
The dress also featured personal symbols that are especially meaningful to the royal, including a Thistle for Scotland, a shamrock for Ireland, the York Rose, and ivy to represent the couple's home.
3. Princess Diana: 8,900 searches per month

Her ivory taffeta wedding dress was created by British designers, Elizabeth and David Emmanuel, and it received press all over the world.
The bodice of the dress features a piece of antique Carrick-ma-cross lace that once belonged to Prince Charles' great-grandmother, Queen Mary.
