Find Your Own Royal Wedding Dress

Laura Leiva
One thing on the mind of almost every viewer of the royal wedding was - what is Catherine Middleton's dress going to look like? After weeks of speculation, viewers around the world finally got a glimpse of the breathtaking gown, designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. Reminiscent of the gown Grace Kelly wore to her 1956 nuptials to the Prince of Monaco, Catherine's dress was a long, ivory gown complete with a lace bodice and sleeves that accentuated her beautiful figure.

While the wedding dress looked incredibly vintage, there was a sense of modern style which makes the entire look seem timeless. The veil, which was held in place by a Cartier tiara, was delicate and showed off the beauty of the new bride.

Being a part of the historical event was an amazing experience and brides everywhere might be looking to Catherine Middleton for inspiration for a perfect wedding gown. Luckily, there are many designers who have created styles similar to the elegant gown worn by the Duchess of Cambridge, according to the popular wedding go-to website, The Knot. Here are four different gowns you can find to recreate the look yourself on any budget:

Legends by Romona Keveza

In this bridal salon found around the United States, this A-line gown looks strikingly similar to the one worn by Catherine. The scalloped lace neckline and lace sleeves offer a graceful contrast to the rest of the gown. Pair the gown with a simple lace-edged veil to walk down the aisle.

Monique Lhuillier

For a more traditional look, look for a gown like this Monique Lhuillier design. The neckline is higher and creates a boatneck design with lace and extends gracefully down the arms. In addition to the beautiful lacework, there is an appliqu© around the entire skirt to give the style a refined, elegant look. If you love classic or vintage-style gowns, this type of dress is the one for you. Pair the dress with a long, sheer veil and classic chignon to show off the ornate detailing.

David's Bridal

If you are having trouble finding the perfect gown, look no further than the wedding dress destination David's Bridal for your Royal Wedding dress replica. Similar to the dress designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, this dress features a sweetheart neckline with a lace and appliqu© bolero which pairs nicely with the simple floor-length gown.

Sophia Tolli

Many see the elegant resemblance of the Royal Wedding dress to that of the gown worn by Grace Kelly in 1956. While Catherine's dress embodied everything that is modern and traditional, brides looking for a completely vintage look will be happy with this dress, by Sophia Tolli. A quintessential ball gown, the dress features a high lace neckline and sleeves over a sweetheart-shaped bodice. The waist is accented with a decorative band and the lower portion of the gown flares out for the perfect princess look.

No matter what your budget is, you can look like royalty by finding one of these fabulous gowns reminiscent of the one worn during the most-talked about wedding in decades.
