For many brides what to wear on their big day is one of the most important decisions they’ll make.

Sixteen years on, and the princess chose to wear a wedding dress that showed her scar, saying she hoped it would honour those who had helped her and inspire others with the condition of scoliosis.

Which seems to be what’s going on here, with a trend developing towards a more natural and authentic wedding aesthetic. Not trying to pretend something is what it’s not. And that’s something that’s very very cool.
