The wedding had some wonderfully weird touches. Diana’s bouquet included a single sprig of myrtle, a tradition started by Queen Victoria. But the bouquet also contained a small, hidden horseshoe for luck—tucked inside by the florist. Diana didn't even know until she held it.
Where did Prince Charles and Princess Diana get married?
Fun fact: The ring was actually chosen from a Garrard catalog. Diana picked a 12-carat Ceylon sapphire surrounded by diamonds. It wasn't custom-made, but a standard piece in their collection. The world went mad for "sapphire blue" for years after.
And about the dress: It took designer David and Elizabeth Emanuel 600 hours of hand-stitching. They sewed a small, blue bow into the waistband as Diana's "something blue." The dress was so voluminous that Diana could barely fit into the glass carriage during rehearsals.
