Like most people around the world, we’ll be waking up at the crack of dawn (approximately 5:30am, gasp) on Saturday to watch the royal wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at St. George’s Chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle in London. While we finally know that her father won’t be walking her down the aisle, there are still a plethora of other questions we can’t wait to have answered, most importantly, *the dress*.
Some are speculating that David and Elizabeth Emanuel—the designers behind Princess Diana’s stunning 1981 gown—have been tapped to create Markle’s fairy tale dress. Others, including plenty of Coveteur staffers, are betting that Riccardo Tisci—the new head of Burberry—will make his debut at the historically British label a royal one. Luckily, there are only a few more hours until we know for sure, but to tide us over in the meantime, we uncovered the 11 most glamorous royal wedding looks of all time. Check them out below!

Queen Elizabeth II: Norman Hartnell was the Court Designer for the British Royal Family since 1938, and designed Queen Elizabeth’s modest satin dress for her wedding in 1947. The elaborate embroidery in the veil especially is stunning to this day.
