When we spotted Priyanka Chopra on her wedding day, our jaws nearly fell to the ground. After nearly a week of festivities, following the couple's cultural traditions, and 10 different looks, one stood out among the rest. It was during the Christian ceremony when Priyanka stepped out of the Umaid Bhawan Palace wearing a gorgeous custom Ralph Lauren gown and following her? A 75-foot veil. One could only describe Priyanka's look as "classic," "dramatic," and, above all, "modest."
All of a sudden, our minds went wild. We knew Priyanka wasn't the only bride who could pull off this style, so we did a little Insta digging — and found a trove of #ModestBride inspiration.
