Romantic. Glamorous. Extravagant. What more could you want in a wedding dress?

This exhibition shows 200 years of gorgeous wedding fashion, featuring dresses from one of the world’s most superb collections – that of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. This V&A exhibition explores the history of the wedding dress from the early 1800s through to the present day through the fascinating stories behind the garments and their wearers, including such celebrities as Gwen Stefani and Dita von Teese.
