The meeting of two great worlds: Monaco Royalty and Hollywood. The 1956 wedding between actress Grace Kelly and the Prince of Monaco made serious headlines.
Kelly’s wedding dress was designed by the iconic MGM designer Helen Rose. The dress is even on display at the Philadephia Museum of Art.
Reality-TV
If you thought reality TV could only belong to modern times, then you would be wrong. In 1954, CBS aired a daytime series called Bride and Groom in which it featured real-life couples who would get married on the air.
A show like this could have paved the way for shows like the Bachelor.
The Movie Wedding
In 1955 this Christian Dior wedding dress made its way down the aisle in the very stylish wedding of actress Olivia Havilland. The actress donned the iconic gown while filming the romantic comedy The Ambassador's Daughter.
The long-sleeved and high necked dress looked simply breathtaking. The film was out the following year.

Mr. and Mrs. Universe
Finalizing her divorce from Paul Mansfield just days before, actress Jayne Mansfield wed Mr. Universe, Mickey Hargitay on January 13, 1958.
The muscle man proposed to her with a 10-carat diamond ring just a few months before the big day.
