We adore Grace Kelly and so we are creating our version of her wedding gown for our "Pure Vintage Collection. Here are the details of her Religious Wedding Ceremony:
On April 19, 1956, at 9:30 a.m., 600 guests at the St. Nicholas Cathedral ...witnessed the religious wedding ceremony of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier at a high mass that was celebrated by the Bishop of Monaco. The flowers decorating the altar and church included white lilacs, hydrangeas, lilies, and snapdragons. It was called "the wedding of the century" by the press. It is estimated that 30 million people watched the wedding on television.
The matron of Honor was Grace's sister, Peggy. There were six bridesmaids. They all wore yellow organdy dresses. The six junior attendants (4 girls and 2 boys) were all dressed in white.
Guests included Cary Grant, Aga Khan, David Niven, Gloria Swanson, Aristotle Onassis, Ava Gardner, heads of state, and diplomats.
The people of Monaco gave the couple a cream and black Rolls-Royce convertible. The luncheon reception was held in the Palace Court of Honor. They sliced the six-tier wedding cake with the Prince's sword.
