In recent years, A-list brides like Hailey Baldwin Bieber and Lauren Sánchez have blurred the lines between high-fashion runways and modern wedding choices, often wearing multiple different designs on the same big day.

They sought out young designers to create bespoke gowns that both evoked the traditional white wedding dress (a trend initiated by Queen Victoria) and embodied a distinctly contemporary spirit.

Going against traditional wedding norms isn't a prerequisite for being memorable, but it's often the designs that are both traditional and avant-garde that become unforgettable icons.
