Today is 15 years since that rainy day in which the then Prince Felipe and Letizia Ortiz said "Yes, I want" in the cathedral of the Spanish capital. Although the former journalist had already made it clear in the white suit of Giorgio Armani that she wore in her engagement that her was a more modern style, no one could have imagined the risk of her wedding dress, which had nothing to do with the costumes seen before and after at European royal weddings.

The dress was the work of the Spanish designer Manuel Pertegaz, one of the most beloved and respected in his country and who died ten years after the royal wedding. According to the Spanish press, she wanted to make a design that emphasized simplicity, but a royal wedding is not about any house and requires a thousand and one details and symbols that wink at the royal family and its history.

Thus, not only all the materials were of Spanish origin and from the factories with the most history in the country, each embroidery in gold and silver had its meaning: clovers that represent good luck, the fleur de lis, which is the emblem of the family Bourbon, and the strawberry tree that represents the city of Madrid.

As can be seen in the detailed images, the embroideries were also repeated on the inside of the dress, on the cuffs of the sleeves that ended in a bell shape, the hem of the skirt and the end of the train, which measured 4 meters and a half long.

Although the opinions on the dress that the queen chose are very divided, there is no doubt that she took a risk in the choice. And what did you think of her wedding dress?
