Princess Eugenie’s Stunning Wedding Dress: All You Need to Know

arrived at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle in a breathtaking gown fit for a royal.

The stunning dress was designed by Peter Pilato and Christopher Davos, who founded the British-based label Peter Pilato, in London in 2007.

The brand is known for its innovative textile design, paired with a modern, feminine silhouette.

Her dress featured a fitted bodice and full pleated skirt, with a neckline that folds around the shoulders to a low back that drapes into a flowing full-length train.

The low back feature was at the request of Eugenie, who had surgery at 12 years old to correct her scoliosis.

The Princess worked closely with Pilato and Davos on the design of the dress.

The designers researched previous dresses worn by royal family members and identified a silhouette.

The fabric was designed by Pilato and Voss at their studio in East London and includes a number of symbols that are meaningful to as motifs.

A thistle for Scotland acknowledging the couple's fondness for Balmoral, a shamrock for Ireland as a reflection of the bride's maternal family, the York Rose, and ivy representing the couple's home.

Pilato and Davos reinterpreted the symbols in a garland of rope-like motifs, woven into a jacquard of silk, cotton and viscose blend.

Once the artwork was completed, it was translated into a jacquard weave in the Como region of Italy.

The result is a very modern-looking fabric using a highly intricate weaving technique.

The dress was just one part of her bridal look.

She wore the grevel emerald Kokoshnik tiara, lent to her by the Queen.

The tiara is made of brilliant and rose-cut diamonds pavé set in platinum, with six emeralds on either side.

She also wore diamond and emerald drop earrings which are a wedding gift from Jack.

Her bridal shoes are satin peep-toe heels by Charlotte Olympia.

Escorted by her father, , Eugenie exited the car to the cheers of hundreds of well-wishers who stood outside the chapel entrance to catch a glimpse of the royal bride.

As she stepped out of the car, she paused for a moment, giving viewers a good look at her stunning gown.

In a pre-wedding interview, she hinted that the dress might show off the scars from her spinal surgery because of scoliosis.

“I think you can change the way beauty is, and you can show people your scars and I think it's really special to stand up for that,” she told the UK's This Morning.

The dress was designed to reflect the Princess' personality and style, with a nod to her family and heritage.
