WEDDING STYLE: Jackie O.

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy's wedding dress worn Sept.12, 1953 when she married John F. Kennedy; displayed at JFK Library and Museum in 2003 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of their wedding.

Um. Can we say, Classic, Stunning and Elegant all in one?
This petite lady had style.

Jackie O's wedding dress... much better than Princess Diana's in 1981. The perfect bridal attire combination would be Jackie O's wedding dress and Princess Diana's tiara.

I just read about this dress, and actually Jackie didn't like it. Her mother insisted that she wear this one. It was designed and made by Ann Lowe, an African American dress maker to much of America's upper class. She was called "America's best kept secret" because, of course, in that day nobody wanted it known that their favorite dress maker was black. Interesting bit of information.
