The Most Beautiful Movie Wedding Dresses of All Time -

By Shannon Meddings, Style Machine

Here at ele we love a good celebration of love, and with so many of us missing out on wedding and parties in the past year we decided to bring a little romance to our fashion pages, raise a glass and showcase some of our all-time favourite movie wedding dresses to gush over!

These stunning gowns have bought us some of the most visionary moments on the silver screen and have also helped to bring the classic wedding fairytale to life. Some dresses are simple and others completely OTT in style or seriously decadent! We had a mixed front runner here on the ele team, which is your favourite? Let us know over at Instagram.
