The next day, Hepbrun wore a tea-length, chiffon-sleeved gown by French designer Pierre Balmain for her wedding service in a Protestant Chapel. The couple later divorced in 1968 after having one child, Sean.

I can’t tell you how disillusioned I was."

Senator John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Lee Bouvier married in Newport, Rhode Island on September 12, 1953. The future First Lady wore a ivory silk ball gown by designer Ann Lowe. Just 10 days before the wedding ceremony, a water line broke in Lowe's New York City studio and ruined the bridal gown along with all 10 pink bridesmaids dresses. Lowe worked tirelessly to recreate all 11 designs in time. The iconic gown featured a portrait neckline, off the shoulder sleeves, and a voluminous textured skirt that emphasized the bride's slim waist.
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner married on October 25, 2009 at The Trump National Golf Course in Bedminster, NJ. Prior to the nuptials, Trump converted to Judaism for her future 'Mr.' As a result, the bride had to adhere to a more conservative bridal gown. Vera Wang, delighted to design a dress that 'wasn't naked,' created a Grace Kelly inspired gown with an illusion neckline, overlay sleeves, and a tiered skirt.
