Celine Dion & Rene Angelil

Celine Dion’s wedding to René Angelil could be called a royal affair in its own right. Back in 1994, their winter nuptial was the buzz of the town, and the singer made sure the press had something to report on.

Their wedding took place at Montreal’s Notre-Dame Basilica, and we’ll never forget the first look we had at Dion’s stunning gown. The Think Twice singer picked a splendid dress with a six-meter-long train made by Mirella and Steve Gentile in the style of a vintage-inspired gown. The garment has taken over 1,000 hours to put together, with a headdress made up of over 2,000 Swarovski crystals. The headgear alone was said to weigh 3kg and sewed into her hair to keep it in place. In comparison, it may not seem like much in today’s terms – especially given Dion’s investments – the cloth alone has cost $25,000. Now, this is a classic style that we will remember forever.
