Wedding Dress Designer
Versace's Luigi Massi is known for creating wedding gown masterpieces, but little could have prepared people for the masterful piece of artwork that is the Angelina Jolie wedding dress. Sketches leading up to the big day showed a drop-dead gorgeous, smiling caricature of the actress with a tiny waist. The drawings even incorporated the doodles of her beloved children on her veil. We see similar dress designs in the star's smoking hot red carpet looks.
Dress Design Features
While the most distinct feature of Jolie's wedding day look was her veil, the gorgeous gown holds its own in the style department. The Angelina Jolie wedding dress design is simple and modest, and the material is made from a gorgeous silk satin. Versace lives up to its cachet with the gown's elegant design of two thin shoulder straps; a cinched band of material around the chest; a tapered waistline; and a long, loose and flowing train.
The Veil
Angelina Jolie's wedding dress and veil were clearly intended to honor and incorporate the actress's six children. Jolie explained that Luigi Massi is a friend of the family and was happy to design a striking gown that included the participation of her children. Reportedly, part of her reason for getting married was for the children, so it was a fitting move.

While the following wedding dress designs do not incorporate children's drawings, they do capture the essence and genius of Angelina Jolie's Versace-designed gown.

Allure Bridals' Style 9108 gown is very similar in material and design to the superstar's dynamite dress. Two key differences lie in the thickness in of the straps and the draped satin material that covers the entire bodice of this gown versus just the chest area on Angelina Jolie's dress. There's also more of a scoop neck feel to this one.

The ivory satin ball gown from TOPbridal is simple in design and a bit plainer as Jolie's gown as it does not contain as much textured fabric. The cinched waist and scoop neckline are features that closely mimic Angelina Jolie's wedding dress.

Anne Barge's Chantal V-neck mermaid wedding dress is an affordable gown that is both simple and elegant. Like the Angelina Jolie Versace dress, its simplicity is its major feature. Although there are some differences between Jolie's gown and this one, such as the V-neck and mermaid fit, it really feels inspired by the same minimalistic concepts.
