Without a doubt, the wedding of the century will be HRH Prince William to Kate Middleton. Odd-makers are busy taking bets on who Kate will select for this prestigious design.
For the rest of us commoners, WWD has invited a bevy of renowned designers to submit their ideas for the dress.
You can see all of the designs here, yet above I’ve highlighted the three wise men (Karl Lagerfeld, Giles Mendel and Jason Wu) who put pen to paper and created dresses even a princess bride would love.
I have a favorite. What’s yours?

I looked at all the sketches and I adore the minimal designs and then that frothy Valentino confection! It will be so fun to see how all this plays out for the Royal couple!

can you imagine having all those fashion houses courting you? ha! how nice!!
She's a classic who will look beautiful in any wedding gown. Personally, I like the Mendel gown the best. The gown is elegant, and will only add to Kate's elegant look.
Love wedding dresses! Looked at them all…and think the Mendel version looks most like her style- it will be fun to see what she wears! Take care, Caroline
So funny you are posting about THE wedding of the century. After their engagement I was watching the news and they were talking about it at which time Ella asked if we would be invited. Not this time honey! So instead, I'll be having a royal wedding playdate on Friday, April 29th to watch the nuptials for all her little girl friends…yes, I will be rolling out the red carpet for the little princesses. Kate would look stunning wearing any of these dresses! She looks amazing in every ensemble wears.
All would work for a royal wedding, but I'd go with the Giles Mendel – I'll tell them that when they call;-) xo Cathy
Uncle Karl, I love you but Giles and Jason have bested you! But honestly, the princess to be could wear a potato sack and look just beautiful!
So agree with The Zhush that Late would make anything look glamorous but I'm leaning toward Jason Wu – it would be great to have the future princess choose an up-and-comer rather than an established name…
xxoo
I love these images and Jason Wu went to my boarding school. Go Loomis Chaffee!
Haven't hobbled on over to WWD but of the ones here, I love the Mendel. Agree with The Zhush and The Buzz – she will look stunning in whatever she wears. Tory Burch also did one – not sure if its on WWD, but it's lovely.
There were many beautiful dresses…my favorite was by Jason Wu!

It IS a bright
spot for England,
isn't it? I still
remember getting up
in the wee hours to
see Charles and Diana
wed. Love all of
the possible dresses!

I cannot wait to see what she chooses!!! All so gorgeous 🙂
WOW, what a fun post, so well put and I adore it! And speaking of adore, I am just as impressed with those sketches as I will be floored with the actual ideal come to fruition. Those are crazy amazing! I love art and sketches and I kept thinking how I would love to frame just one of those and have it in my house…how odd does that sound?! I agree, I am Wu-ed too 🙂 XOXO, Kel
She is so gorgeous it just won't matter but I choose Mendel!
Love Mendel too! Heck I would take any of the above.
xo,

The Jason Wu is my fave. She'll look beautiful in whatever she wears.
