I didn’t dislike Meghans dress, I didn’t think it had any originality about it. I did wonder if what was perceived as ill fitting was more to do with an allowance for her to climb into the carriage.

My favourites are:
Infanta Cristina of Spain (beautiful hairdo and earrings)
Princess Madeleine of Sweden (loved the Orange blossoms)

I don't like:
Princess Diana: I used to love that gown as a little girl and I know it was very fashionable at this time, but now as an adult woman I dislike it very much (the dress almost swallowed her up and those ruffles and sleeves, ugh!)

I also wasn't too keen on Queen Marys wedding attire (beautiful bride but the hairdo was way over the top IMO and I didn't like the veil was attached).

 

[royaljul73]

I meant that I didn't like the the way the veil was attached (it almost looked like a handkerchief on her head). The veil itself I think is very beautiful and I found it a very touching gesture from Queen Margrethe to let her wear it).

Lina Abbas’ (daughter in law of Princess Aisha bint Hussein) Zuhair Murad wedding gown was stunning and divine. Her veil was also very beautiful. Lina’s wedding dress is now one of my new favorites.

I assume the dress is a slightly modified version of this dress from the Spring Bridal 2024 collection:

Lina Abbas is one of the most gorgeous brides I have ever seen. Both the veil and the gown are unbelievable!

Here is a list of strapless wedding dresses worn by royal brides:

Empress Soraya
Princess Tessy
Autumn Phillips
Princess Tatiana

I dislike all these dresses although I would have liked Autumn’s dress if it was not for the bows on the back of the dress. I also dislike bolero jackets on wedding dresses. Overall it seems likely this is not a complete list so please let me know if I am missing any.

 

[Moonmaiden23]

Autumn's is my least favorite of all of them..I was surprised at how poor overall quality
it looked.

Soraya was gorgeous but completely over the top.

Tessy looked beautiful.

I don't like strapless wedding dresses in general but Tatiana is the most elegant here with the bolero to cover her shoulders in church.

Two of my all time favorite dresses are India Hicks and HGD Stephanie. From one extreme to another, but both beautiful in their owe right.

Princess Charlene
Infanta Maria Francesca

Princess Sophie's reception gown looks very much like Princess Theodora's church wedding dress!

Very beautiful.
