Marvel at the splendor

of this royal wedding!

It’s the event that changed weddings forever—and you’ve got a front-row seat, thanks to this re-creation! In Victoria and Albert: The Wedding, travel back to 1840 London, when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were married, and she opted for a white dress instead of a typical colorful bridal gown, starting a trend that continues to this day. See all the details in this special that airs after the season three premiere of Victoria on January 13.

Queen Victoria chose a white wedding gown (an unusual choice at the time) to better show off the dress’s lace!
