What Princess Diana and Kate Middleton Wore for Their Wedding Rehearsals

What are your weekend plans? If you're counting down the days until a certain wedding, you're not alone. With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nuptials mere days away, it's safe to say we have royal weddings on the brain, so we decided to revisit what Princess Diana and Kate Middleton wore in their last appearances before their big days.
Photographed at her rehearsal at St. Paul's Cathedral just two days before her wedding, Princess Diana looked like the epitome of sophistication in a blue printed midi dress and nude flats. The day before her 2011 wedding, Kate Middleton also went with a patterned dress for her rehearsals at the church, choosing a knee-length black-and-white number. Now only one question remains: What will Markle wear? Scroll down to revisit these throwback royal looks and shop similar frocks.
