10 Things You Didn’t Know About Grace Kelly’s Stunning Wedding Gown

by Zack Walkter

Published September 22, 2017

8. A penny hid in her shoes.

Prince Rainier III already stood close in height to his fiancee, so the bride wore just 2½-inch heels. David Evans designed the pumps, adding seed pearls and lace. He embossed her name in the left shoe and his own in the right shoe, where he also added a copper penny for good luck. 

9. There was another dress.

While the elaborate religious ceremony on April 19, 1956, attracted most of the attention, Kelly first wed her royal beau in a civil ceremony the day before. Helen Rose also created the pink floral ensemble, accessorized with a Juliet cap.

10. In fact, there were lots of dresses.

To accept wedding congratulations at a quick press conference, the actress donned another tea-length ensemble on April 18, 1956. It wasn’t her last look of the day, either. She slipped into a white silk Lanvin gown that night at a gala, Bridesreports.
