  • Kristen McMenamy's nude-colored Chanel Haute Couture dress by Karl Lagerfeld is nothing compared to Philip Treacy's halo headpiece made of flesh-toned feathers for the bride and those headdresses for bridesmaids Saffron Aldridge and Naomi Campbell.
  • Aw shoot that's cute: John F. Kennedy, Jr. smooches Carolyn Bessette Kennedy hand while she wears a silk crepe gown by Narciso Rodriguez.
  • How much tulle does it take to make Coco Rocha's bottom half huge? A whole big bunch. Zac Posen is all over it..
  • Mick Jagger and Bianca Pérez-Mora Macias wed. She wore a white wedding suit and hat designed by Yves Saint Laurent. It was the '70s.
  • Oldschool: Charlotte Babcock Brown married Charles Coudert Nast, son of Condé Nast, in 1928, wearing Jeanne Lanvin
  • Plum Sykes' Alexander McQueen train is bigger than your Alexander McQueen train. She married Toby Rowland in 2005.
  • Grace Kelly wore MGM costume designer Helen Rose to marry Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956.
  • Iman and David Bowie. She's in a gown designed by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel Haute Couture. He's the most conservative thing he's ever worn.

Vogue's newest publishing venture, Vogue Weddings: Brides, Dresses, Designers, is undeniably "a thing of beauty," but it's hard to attribute the feat to just one aspect of the book. Rather, the combination of to-die-for designs on the world's most gorgeous women in pictures taken by Vogue's powerhouse of skilled photographers since the mag's first issue creates picture after picture of awe-inspiring images. It's a complete history of wedding perfection. Scope a preview in the gallery above and find out how to be one of five Pinners to win the book here.
