Ida Sjöstedt created Princess Sofia of Sweden’s wedding dress for her 2015 marriage to Prince Carl Philip.
Sofia Hellqvist married Prince Carl Philip in Stockholm on 13 June 2015. Sjöstedt’s gown combined a fitted silhouette with layers of lace and a long train. The lace incorporated motifs associated with Swedish tradition, helping the dress feel both contemporary and ceremonially appropriate.
Sjöstedt is a Swedish designer known for feminine occasionwear and bridal fashion. Her selection marked a strong connection between the bride and Sweden’s domestic fashion industry rather than relying on a major international bridal house.
This dress is often confused with the gown worn by Crown Princess Victoria in 2010. Victoria’s dress was designed by Pär Engsheden, whereas Sofia’s 2015 dress was created by Ida Sjöstedt. The two gowns are also linked by their Swedish royal setting and formal, full-length styling.
