The maison is known for its elaborate details, extravagant embellishments and impeccable craftsmanship, which could be the perfect solution for the lavish wedding gown. The brand counts celebrities Sonam Kapoor, Angelina Jolie and Priyanka Chopra as fans.

Burberry

Christopher Bailey might be stepping down as the chief creative officer and president of Burberry, but his impeccable taste and creativity make him a great fit for the endeavour.

His avid knowledge of the essence of classic English style will certainly give him an advantage. During his tenure at Burberry, Bailey has created memorable gowns that are definitely royal wedding-worthy.
