Every royal fan knows that Kate Middleton walked down the aisle to marry her prince wearing a stunning Alexander McQueen gown.
The beautiful ivory dress, which inspired a whole generation of brides, featured a satin bodice which was slightly padded at the hips (signature McQueen) and incorporated floral motifs cut from machine-made lace. It was made using traditional Carrickmacross craftsmanship, a technique which dates back to the 1800s, to represent Kate 'something old'.
The attention to detail was breathtaking – from the hand-cut Chantilly lace of the sleeves, to the lace applique on the bodice and the individual lace roses, thistles, daffodils and shamrocks hand-engineered on to the ivory silk tulle.
But what's often forgotten is her second wedding dress which was equally spectacular.
Far fewer people saw the stunning second gown, which she changed into for the evening reception, as only 300 guests were invited to the private do at Buckingham Palace.
It's traditional for royal brides to change into a second dress, but while Kate went for a very different style she stuck with the same designer, Sarah Burton.
The glitzy second dress was made from white satin with a diamante waistband. It didn't have a train, which was probably a good thing as we know Kate and William danced the night away with their friends and family at the 2011 bash.
Kate finished off the look with an angora bolero cardigan and had a whole new hairstyle for the evening - as you do...
And she wasn't the only member of the royal family who changed ready for the evening reception. Prince William changed out of his dress uniform and into a tux while Pippa Middleton ditched her famous white gown for a glamorous green number.
And it's a good thing they changed into their glad rags - as the young royals partied the night away until about 3am.
But before the dancing commenced, best man harry delivered a perfect best man speech.
Royal author Katie Nicholl gave an insight into the special evening in her biography Harry: Life, Loss, and Love.
She writes: "It was affectionate, warm and funny and touched William deeply.
"The speech was peppered with Harry's classic sense of humour, and he ribbed his brother: 'William didn't have a romantic bone in his body before he met Kate, so I knew it was serious when William suddenly started cooing down the phone at Kate'.
"Famous for his mimicry, Harry then impersonated his brother calling Kate 'Babykins', to much laughter from the guests.
"When he said the couple’s decade-long romance was his inspiration, there was a shy smile from Chelsy, while Kate shed a tear."
