Princess Diana's gown from her 1981 nuptials to Prince Charles will look outrageously out of place on a 2016 bride, of course, but in terms of its wow! effect at the time it was worn, it remains one of the most famous bridal dresses of all time.

The ivory-silk, taffeta and lace confection was designed by husband and wife team David and Elizabeth Emanuel. It was embroidered with more than 10,000 pearls and and included a massive, 25-foot train. She looked straight out of a fairytale!
