Have you ever wondered why wedding dresses in movies are unforgettable? What makes them special? The cut, shade, length, and decorative elements. All of this is carefully selected by stylists to further reveal the character of the heroines.

For example, Carrie Bradshaw in the movie Sex and the City (2008) is a gentle, calm and at the same time a connoisseur of extravagant clothes. So, her wedding look consisted of a lush veil with huge turquoise-blue feathers, as well as a Vivienne Westwood dress (structural corset and multi-layered hem) made of ivory silk satin. Undoubtedly, it suited her… And if any real-life woman has similar preferences and character, she can be inspired by the idea from the movie.
