The train of the Queen’s wedding gown had a symbolic significance. It is thought to represent Britain’s success as a nation and thus had to be very heavily embellished. The train was 15 feet long and very ornate. The lace and pearls made a stunning combo, and the stars were like badges of honour on the Queen’s gown.

The diamond tiara which the Queen wore her wedding is one of the most beautiful tiaras, the Royal family has ever seen. A tiara is a big deal in the monarchy, and even the Queen’s successor, like Kate Middleton and Camilla, are pretty big on tiaras. The Queen was gifted the tiara by her grandmother Queen Mary, which was gifted to her by none other than Queen Victoria on her wedding.
