Tatler front cover of Duchess of Kent in her wedding gown
H.R.H The Duchess of Kent, formerly Princess Marina of Greece, pictured in her wedding dress of white and silver floral brocade designed by Captain Edward Molyneux. She achieved the distinction of being the first royal bride to wear a streamlined wedding dress, which swept from the shoulders in a curve to the train at the back of the dress. The waistline was eliminated because it would have interrupted the curve, with the high draped neckline and long, widening sleeves with cuffs of silver lame adding to the effect. Date: 1934

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image graces the cover of Tatler magazine in 1934, showcasing H.R.H. The Duchess of Kent, formerly Princess Marina of Greece, on the day of her elegant and trailblazing wedding to the Duke of Kent. Dressed in a stunning white and silver floral brocade gown designed by the renowned British fashion designer, Captain Edward Molyneux, the Duchess made history as the first royal bride to wear a streamlined wedding dress. The dress, a departure from the traditional corseted silhouette of the time, swept from her shoulders in a curve to the train at the back. The waistline was eliminated to preserve the uninterrupted flow of the curve, while the high draped neckline and long, widening sleeves with cuffs of silver lame added to the effect. Princess Marina's decision to wear a modern and streamlined gown was a bold move for the 1930s, reflecting the changing times and her forward-thinking approach to fashion. Her bridal look was completed with a tiara, adding a touch of regal elegance to the ensemble. This iconic photograph, taken in 1934, captures the essence of a royal wedding and the timeless beauty of a bride on her special day. The Duchess of Kent's wedding marked the beginning of a new chapter in her life, and this image remains a testament to the enduring allure of bridal fashion and the magic of the moment.
