Custom-Made Umbrellas
Diana’s dress designers created two umbrellas for her in case of rain. They were both white and ivory so they wouldn’t reveal the color of the dress for her big day. Both umbrellas were adorned with lace, sequins, and pearls so they matched her dress. However, in 2017, Elizabeth Emmanuel said she was grateful they didn’t have to be used, since “it was made of such light material that it certainly wasn’t waterproof. It wouldn’t have done her much good.”

In addition to her original wedding dress, the Emmanuels made one duplicate as well as a backup dress for the Princess in case the gown was leaked or damaged. While the duplicate is displayed at Madame Tussauds, the alternate vanished after the wedding. “It was hanging up in the studio for a long time, and then it disappeared,” Elizabeth Emmanuel said. “I don’t know if we sold it or put it into storage. It was such a busy time. I’m sure it’ll turn up in a bag one day!”
