Sarah Ferguson, 1986

Sarah Ferguson married Prince Andrew at Westminster Abbey on July 23, 1986, in ivory duchess satin by Lindka Cierach, with puffed sleeves and a 17-foot train. The beading told a story: anchors and waves for Andrew's Royal Navy career, bumblebees and thistles from the Ferguson coat of arms, hearts, and the couple's initials A and S. Brides who stitch initials or dates into a lining are following the same idea.
