Sarah Ferguson's Wedding Day

In the lead up to Kate and Will's big day next week, we continue the wedding theme today with the marriage of Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew.

Date: 23 July 1986
Place: Westminster Abbey, London
Event: Wedding between Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew


After Diana's dress five years previously came out of the carriage looking like a balled up tissue, the silk taffeta was left behind. Designer Lindka Cierach made the dress out of satin.


The bodice and train were embroidered with a bee motif to incorporate the Ferguson coat of arms.


The long veil was made from silk tulle with scalloped edges and dotted with sequins.


Sarah wore a diamond tiara and necklace set that were given to her by the Queen as a wedding gift. They were created by the Crown Jewellers, Garrard and Company.

Stayed tuned to Fashionably Royal for more royal wedding style retrospection in the coming week. Next week--royal honeymoon fashion!
