Chanel bridal

Chanel HC Fall 1995

Fall brides, take note: the less-is-more adage has never looked better.

“I wanted to wear something that felt quintessentially Karl [Lagerfeld],” Grace Morton says. “I was actually able to try on the original bridal look from [the Chanel] archive when I first visited the atelier in Paris. Claudia is married to my godfather and is a good friend. She helped guide me throughout the entire process, and I am deeply grateful for her support—a true fashion fairy godmother.”

For fans of the 90s, the Chanel shows are inseparable from the bride embodied by Claudia Schiffer. The proof in pictures.

Dating back to the 80s, Chanel has featured a bride in each collection debuted during its Paris Haute Couture runway show. So to commemorate this tradition, we rounded up all past and present Chanel wedding dresses, from over-the-top ball gowns to minis and even a swimsuit.

Chanel has the dreamiest dresses, and we dug into the archives to find the 31 most beautiful ones.

In honor of the late fashion designer's legendary career, we take a look back at some of his best moments for Chanel.
