These Celebrity Wedding Looks Belong On Every Summer Bride’s Moodboard
The arrival of summer always signals marriage season. The sunshine, school holidays and all-round good vibes make the summer months an ideal time for a wedding celebration.
Silver-screen sirens Marilyn Monroe, Mia Farrow and Audrey Hepburn all married in the warmer months, wearing wonderfully stylish looks that, to this day, serve as inspiration for brides-to-be. Kate Moss is another summer bride who remains a reference point a decade on. The supermodel opted for a bespoke figure-skimming John Galliano gown – that nodded to vintage ’30s styles with its semi-sheer skirt – for her Cotswolds nuptials in July 2011.
But not all brides are keen to keep things floaty. July bride Princess Diana famously braved the heat in a ’80s voluminous gown designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel.
