In the most eagerly anticipated nuptials of the season, presidential daughter Chelsea Clinton married boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky in Rhinebeck, NY on July 31, 2010. The young woman who was mocked for her gawky appearance while a teen living in the White House has matured into a stunning young woman, and she looked every bit the radiant bride on her wedding day. These are the details of Chelsea Clinton’s gorgeous wedding style.

When Chelsea Clinton tied the knot, she wore not one but two fabulous Vera Wang gowns. The bride walked down the aisle in a breathtaking strapless silk organza wedding gown with a glittering belt accenting her waist. The organza was artfully pleated on the bodice, and fell into a full skirt with a laser cut organza skirt. The result was a bridal gown which was very feminine and graceful, yet quite fresh and current. For the reception, Chelsea went with the wedding trend of changing into a second gown, in this case a Grecian inspired gown with a more slender skirt and a black grosgrain ribbon at the waist. The reception gown, also by Vera Wang was right on point with the black and white wedding trend this year.

Of course, the accessories are what complete any wedding day ensemble to perfection. For her wedding, Chelsea Clinton wore a pair of drop earrings and a bracelet. She did not wear a bridal necklace, perhaps preferring the dramatic sparkling belt on her gown to take center stage. The bride wore a long flowing veil which accented her graceful upswept hairstyle. Chelsea’s wedding day makeup was very sophisticated and fairly bold for the typically understated Clinton. She carried a round bouquet of classic white flowers.

The bridesmaids also wore dresses by Vera Wang, which were a lavender bias cut chiffon with plum colored bows. Hillary Clinton, the mother of the bride wore a beautiful plum colored dress by one of her long-time favorite designers, Oscar de la Renta. She looked lovely in her formal dress, which she accented with custom pink crystal wedding jewelry. The pink crystal wedding jewelry was a nice contrast to the color of the Secretary of State’s mother of the bride dress. It coordinated well, yet stood out because of the variation of shades.

The regular bride who wants to borrow a bit of Chelsea Clinton’s wedding style will find many great options available. The silhouette of Chelsea’s Vera Wang bridal gown is a popular shape this year which is offered by numerous designers at all price points. Start by looking for a strapless wedding gown with a 1950s inspired shape: fitted bodice, full but soft skirt, and an emphasis on the natural waist. Floaty feminine fabrics like organza or tulle will create the desired effect. What set Chelsea’s gown apart from a true vintage style gown was the contemporary draping on the bodice and the irregular style of the laser cut skirt. It was a great way to update a classic bridal silhouette. Add a beautifully beaded sparkling belt or sash around the waist of your gown and you will be good to go!

The other details of Chelsea Clinton’s gorgeous wedding style are ones which would be quite easy for the non-celebrity bride to have as well. A long tulle veil, a pretty set of bridal jewelry, an elegant updo, and sophisticated makeup are all well within the reach of any bride-to-be. As for the multi-million dollar budget, rolling country estate, famous parents, and handsome fiance, well you are on your own!
