Vintage Wedding Dress Inspiration!

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale

The custom-made Galliano gown that Gwen wore for her 2002 nuptials is a unique and modern reworking of 18th and 19th century vintage elements - the corset top, the elaborate ball skirt - with a punky twist thanks to the pink hem. No wonder this work of art lives in the V&A these days.
