Wedding Dress Disasters

LONDON, April 8, 2011— -- Everyone knows the risks associated with wearing white. A speck of dirt shows straight away on a white top, so just imagine the challenge of keeping a wedding dress pristine!

There are endless possible wedding dress disasters, not all of which can be anticipated. Imagine having a plan in place for coffee spills, or calling in the carpenters to fix a wedding dress glitch.

Well, these were the exact measures put in place for Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson when they married two royal brothers, Princes Charles and Andrew.

The Royal Diary talked to the two women who know exactly what the job of wedding dress designer entails: Elizabeth Emanuel, who designed Princess Diana's dress told ABC News. And Lindka Cierach, chosen to make Sarah Ferguson's dress for her wedding to Charles' younger brother, Prince Andrew.

"We kind of made it up as we went along. ... We cared about security so much that we organized for a big metal safe to be delivered to the studio," said Emanuel. "We had to hoist it up through the windows."

"Every night we would lock the dress up in there, and we had to have security guards, Jim and Bert, and they had to guard it."

There was, of course, a backup plan just in case the security measures went wrong.
