Product Description

Wedding Day, June, 2006

'...a must for stylish brides-to-be.'


Product Description

One of the most admired women in the world, Grace Kelly (1929-1982) is remembered for her beauty, grace and style. Her 'fairy-tale' wedding to Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956 was one of the most celebrated of the century. To commemorate its 50th anniversary, this lovely book tells the story behind her wedding gown, cap, veil, shoes and prayer book, all given by the new princess to the Philadelphia Museum of Art shortly after the ceremony. Philadelphia-born Grace Kelly rocketed to Hollywood stardom, becoming a major box-office draw and winning an Academy Award. She also was an icon of classic American style, which became known as the 'Grace Kelly Look'. After examining the development of the star's on- and off-screen style, the book focuses on her magnificent wedding dress, designed by Helen Rose and made by MGM Studios under top secret security. Public interest in the star's wedding dress was intense, and it remains one of the most popular objects in the Museum's collection. Stunning colour images detail the wedding dress, accessories and attendants' dresses, which are also owned by the Museum. Numerous historical photographs illustrate the actress's career, style and the famous wedding in Monaco.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book!, 9 Aug 2006
By J. Westlake (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Grace Kelly married her prince long before I was born, but I was caught up in the 'fairytale' nature of the wedding from an early age and have been fascinated by Grace Kelly ever since. This book is lovely if you are a fan and is devoted almost entirely to their wedding. There is a lot written about the making of the wedding and bridesmaids' dresses and detailed drawings and photographs. I have enjoyed looking at and reading this book so much.

4.0 out of 5 stars A really lovely book., 6 Mar 2007
By Casper (Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews
I too was too young to remember this wedding but was fascinated by this little book. It gives you lots of background into the fabulous bridal gown, right down to the sketches of it throughout the design process, they are almost blueprints! Lots of facts that make you smile too. It may have been a "Royal" wedding, but like the rest of us mere mortals on such occasions it is comforting to know that Royalty too makes economies by buying bridesmaids accessories from chain stores. This book also personalises the bridesmaids and almost makes you feel as if you might have been there. Makes you a bit sad too that the fabulous gown is in such a bad way, let's hope it can be preserved for many years to come. I for one would love to stand and gaze at it for a while and imagine what it would have been like to catch a glimpse of that legendary fairytale bride.
