FX’s hit show, Love Story, has brides everywhere pinning for a Carolyn Bessette-inspired wedding dress.
Bessette, an American fashion publicist for Calvin Klein, married attorney, publisher, and former president JFK’s son, John F. Kennedy Jr., in 1996.
The couple’s sunset wedding has been described as “surreal,” with Besette slipping into a simple, sensuous pearl-white silk slip dress designed by her best friend, Narciso Rodriguez. She paired the look with a chic veil and gloves.
Bessett’s wedding dress became a trend-defining moment. It ushered in a new era of “quiet luxury,” with brides shifting away from voluminous styles of the former decade to more understated bridal elegance.
Today, Bassette’s wedding gown is right on trend. It’s effortless sophistication oozes minimalism that modern brides LOVE. The once “non-traditional” wedding dress is a timeless look any bride can rock today.
In honor of Carolyn Bessette's timeless wedding day style, our Bride Savvy team has curated 5 of our top gowns from Studio B that will have you falling in love all over again.
