8 Grace Kelly-inspired wedding dresses you can buy

“On her wedding day, Grace Kelly gave new meaning to the word icon,” Oscar de la Renta famously said. The Princess of Monaco’s elegant approach to bridal fashion has remained in style for decades and has influenced famous brides around the world—from Kate Middleton to Paris Hilton.

Grace Kelly’s iconic dress was designed by Helen Rose, an Academy Award-winning costume designer, and reportedly cost about $65,200 to make back in 1956—but we’ve found a handful of Grace Kelly-inspired wedding dresses that are just as timeless and elegant, for a (very) small fraction of that price. Read on to find a selection of timeless designs suitable for all wedding themes and budgets.

1. This flowing high-neck sleeveless number

This flowing high-neck sleeveless wedding dress from David’s Bridal takes what we love about the Princess of Monaco’s iconic wedding dress and translates it for the modern bride with classic taste. The combination of the high neck lace and flowy chiffon skirt offers a sense of playfulness that doesn’t sacrifice elegance.
