Wedding season is finally here and proposals are in the air. Whether you're in need of wedding dress inspiration or are just wanting to get in the wedding planning mood, Chanel has sent some of the most iconic wedding dresses down the runway and the aisle. Typically in couture fashion, there is always one model selected to be the bride. This model has the honor of showing the wedding dress of the season. Chanel's wedding dresses are unlike any other, which is why friends of the brand often call upon the Maison to design their looks for the big day. Case and point: Sofia Richie's recent wedding in the South of France featured three Chanel wedding dresses, because there's no such thing as too much.

Over the years, Chanel has created a wide variety of dresses.

No matter what wedding style you're going for, Chanel has a dress that will serve as inspiration for or might be the one. Continue on to explore some of the Maison's most iconic wedding dresses from the past century.
