In The Details
Diana’s bridal gown still has the longest length in royal wedding history! Around 10,000 mothers of pearl sequins and pearls were used to embellish it. The most incredible aspect? The train is 25 feet long. Not to mention the custom-designed silk-taffeta train, which reportedly cost more than $115,000.
Ring the Bells
Diana’s wedding plans were fraught with controversy. Does she realize she chose her own engagement ring from a catalog? Normally royal engagement rings are individually crafted, but Diana picked her ring from a Garrard jewelry line catalog, which had 14 solitaire diamonds surrounding a 12-carat sapphire set in white gold. It has been passed down to Kate Middleton after her death.
