But it turns out the Duchess of Cambridge actually wore a second wedding dress.

After the ceremony, the royal bride changed into a romantic, ivory satin wedding dress paired with a furry stole, to wear to their intimate reception at Buckingham Palace.

Her second dress was also designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen and while it was less elaborate than the first it was no less beautiful!

The floor-length satin gown featured a sweetheart neckline, a circle skirt and diamante belt around the waistline.

The then-29-year-old completed the look with a white angora bolero cardigan, and wore her hair down around her face.

Doesn't she just look absolutely beautiful!?
