Movie fairytale weddings
 
As a great movies fan, I enjoyed preparing a gallery of weddings and brides that most impressed me on the big screen, what more than a film can give you unique and moving experience, make you smile, and cry, just like in one of the most important days in the life of each of us.  Some dresses are truly wonderful, timeless icons. My favorite, definitely, the one designed by Givenchy and worn by Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face. A super-modern tea length wedding dress, it’s one of the earliest short wedding dresses, a real innovation for the ’50s, it reminds the Tutu of a ballet dancer. Today, as then simply, minimal, elegant and glamorous. Others unlikely, excessive make me smile or remind me as we were.

For all the brides-to-be who want to feel like a Disney princess, they can dream the one worn by Lily James for her fairytale wedding to the Prince, in the movie Cinderella (2015), beige colored, long-sleeve, silk organza gown with a floral print, long train. A stunning dress  that well represents the candor of the bride-to-be.

What to say of the striking wedding gown worn by Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the bodice, a Swarovski-crystal organza corset under a metal cage. The metal pieces rising up as fire and flames. The skirt layers of organza and chiffon ruffles giving it grandness but still making it seem airy and fluid for movement when Katniss does the twirling, wrapping herself up in flames.
