hello everybody isn't it a fine day though is everybody

fine that's fine welcome to miss Mojo and today we're counting down our picks

for the top 10 wedding dresses in Period movies I suppose for a commoner it'll

have to do I mean look at this it's practically an antique for this list

we'll be looking at some of the most beautiful wedding ensembles from films

set in the past which historical era do you think had the best dressed Brides

let us know in the comments number 10. Marianne dashwood's bridal

gown Sense and Sensibility

time I shall swallow my own Bonnet when it comes to Jane Austen movies it's the

balls not the weddings that usually boast the best gowns a Regency bride

would have new wedding clothes but the ceremony itself would likely be a quiet

Family Affair the white wedding dress wasn't even a necessity however in the

1995 movie Sense and Sensibility Kate Winslet does get a gorgeous wedding

trousseau [Music]

Christmas when Marianne exits the church with

Colonel Brandon our eyes go first to the groom resplendent in his red coat but

the bride looks stunning too Marianne wears a cream dress with a lace Bonnet

and Veil she has a long train and this along with the top half of her gown is

embellished with embroidered flowers stars and pearls

[Music] [Applause]

number nine Joe Stockton's dress funny face Audrey Hepburn would look beautiful

in a potato sack but throughout her career she wore some of the prettiest

dresses ever to Grace our screen thank you

yes

from her iconic Breakfast at Tiffany's Ensemble to her entire wardrobe in

Sabrina she showcased clothes from some of the world's best-known designers

Givenchy loved to work with Hepburn and designed the dress her character wears

for a wedding photo shoot in Funny Face the happiest day of your life Bells Are

Ringing flowers blooming angels singing the fashion forward gown has a boat's

neck and a ballerina skirt perfect for dancing in the tight bodice is balanced

out by layers of tulle emphasizing the actress's petite figure it's a fun

youthful dress that kick-started the 50s trend for shorter wedding gowns

thank you

number eight Georgiana cavendish's Ensemble The Duchess when she arrives

all eyes are upon her when absent she is the subject of universal conversation

and what we see her wearing tonight I look forward to seeing the rest of you

wearing tomorrow Keira Knightley has made her career in

Period movies and for the Wardrobe alone it must have been worth it in the

duchess she plays Georgina an 18th century woman who finds herself in an

unhappy marriage to the Duke of Devonshire the movie won the Oscar for

best costume design and every outfit the character wears is lavishly beautiful

the most elaborate is probably Georgina's wedding dress welcome your

grits

foreign the ivory and gold silk taffeta gown is

designed in the sac style of the period costume Designer Michael O'Connor Drew

on historical paintings of the real Duchess as well as costume books on

fashion of the time the scene where the Duke Cuts Georgina free of her gown is

also historically accurate the life of me I could never

close must be so damn come number 7. amberlynn's wedding outfit and

of the Thousand Days amberlin's story has been told many times and thanks to

her famous portrait we have an idea of how we think she dressed the French hood

and that necklace with her B initial are part of her brand now the 1969 film and

of the Thousand Days may not have the most historically accurate costumes but

they are very beautiful any man no matter who he is who says the contrary

is a liar costume designer Margaret first bagged an Oscar for the film and

Genevieve Bujo wore the gowns with style just after her marriage to Henry and

wears an opulent White Satin Tudor gown fit for a queenly bride here now for

luck the flowers of May the veil attached to her Hood references more

modern Bridal Fashion than historical but helps make for a stunning picture

for the ceremony itself Ann is also a tide in a Regal Cloak with a fur collar

do I have to wait to have until from this day forward for better for worse

for richer for poorer and sickness and in health children

and after that man you shall have bells in the crowning

number six is old's frock Tristan and it's old I was trying to explain to

Tristan the importance of love seems you might live without it why

there are other things to live for Duty

they are not life to live based on the medieval Legend

Tristan annisold is set during the dark ages of Britain and Ireland Sophia miles

plays is old an Irish princess who is wedded to the Lord Mark of Cornwall

however she has already given her heart to the loyal Warrior Tristan Mark is

kind but because of his old prior attachment the wedding is a somber

Affair we lived in a place without Duty would you be with me

that place does not exist still it's hard to ignore how beautiful her dress

is Maurizio milanotti's design incorporates Celtic and Roman influences

with a long trailing Veil and sleeves hand-stitched golden embroidery and an

elaborate headdress its old sells into the ceremony on a candle-lit boat her

ethereal Ensemble lends itself to the mystical atmosphere of her arrival

[Music] number 5. Tracy Lord's bridal dress High

Society Hollywood Costume designer Helen Rose created Elizabeth Taylor's wedding

dress in Father of the Bride as well as a couple of her real-life wedding gowns

she also designed one of the world's most iconic wedding dresses for when

Grace Kelly married Prince irania of Monaco the actress and designer met on

the movie High Society for which rose created Kelly's on-screen wedding

Ensemble do you like my dress is quite beautiful my dear the character

of Tracy is divorced so her second wedding dress is a very pale pink rather

than white two years ago I did you out of a wedding in this house by eloping to

Maryland and I hope to make it up to you now by

going through that has originally planned and I hope to make it up to you

now by going through with it it is half length and made from silk

organza decorated with floral embroidery Tracy wears it with a hat and wrist

length of White's gloves of all of these show-stopping outfits in this movie

Musical and there are many the wedding dress is our favorite I just simply

wonderful evening I hope you enjoyed it too oh yes I sure did indeed I did

number four Murray Antoinette's gown Marie Antoinette it is likely that Marie

Antoinette never actually said let them eat cake but the director Sophia

Coppola's interpretation of the French Queen's life is a candy colored Feast

for the eyes [Music]

British Vogue described the film as a high fashion Art House drama costumed as

a big budget period piece a child of the 80s Coppola approached 18th century

France with the new Romantic Movement in mind costume designer Molina canonero

ran with the idea creating over 70 outfits for Kirsten dunst's Marie that

were consistent with the period but more stylized

[Music]

one that sticks out is of course her wedding dress Marie Antoinette's real

wedding gown was made from cloth of silver and adorned with diamonds the

movie version though opulence is actually less flashy

foreign

Maria's attire The Sound of Music when the future Mrs Von Trapp entered the

Abbey all her worldly clothes were given to the poor what about this one well the

poor didn't want this one still on the surface Maria's 1930s

wedding gown is very simple it has long sleeves and no embellishments except for

some covered buttons on the cuffs and down the back she pairs the dress with a

long Veil and a simple leaf Crown in her hair but she looks radiant all the same

foreign

[Music] with her long train Maria appears to

float up the aisle the white Saturn material almost glowing in the low light

despite the Simplicity of this dress it holds its own in the grand surroundings

[Music] number two Danielle's mother's dress

ever after sit in Renaissance Era France this Cinderella story has no Fairy

Godmother or pumpkin Carriage but our heroine still gets a beautiful dress

perfect

look at these shoes well where did you get these Danielle's

gown for the masquerade ball was passed down from her mother intended as a true

so for her wedding it is intricately beaded and comes with a pair of glass

slippers the wicked stepmother Unearthed the Gown intending it for her own

daughter but Danielle's fellow servants smuggle it back

she attends the ball as a winged Vision in white completing the look with some

90s style face glitter the knights may not quite go as planned but at least the

dress gets its time in the spotlight

Danielle before we unveil our top pick here are a

few honorable mentions Emma's wedding Garb Emma this Regency gown is simple

and elegant I do not profess to be an expert in the field of fashion though my

friends say I have quite the eye but I can tell you there is a shocking lack of

certain Jane's trousseau Jane Eyre it's nice to

see Jane out of her governess Gray [Music]

Elizabeth lavenza Frankenstein's dress Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Helena

Bonham Carter stuns in this embroidered gown

foreign [Music]

Victoria Queen Victoria's love for her consort Prince Albert is renowned as is

her influence on fashion during her Reign her wedding dress then must have

been something to behold it's a great aesthetic decision this because Victoria

is clad in pristine virginal white you know there's nothing clean and white in

London in 1840 that dress must really have burned itself onto the retina

costume designer Sandy Powell turned to historical records and paintings when

recreating the bridal gown for the young Victoria the real Victoria's dress broke

the Royal mold by keeping things at relatively simple and elegant if you

look at previous Royal brides dresses traditionally a very encrusted and

glittering the lack of embellishment of a metallic sort is really very striking

the version we see in the movie feels consistent with this Emily blunts at

Victoria wears a low neckline White's gown with lace detailing and a crown of

flowers in her hair we may only get a glimpse of this Royal dress but that's

enough to make us fall in love no I am quite married
