Taylor Swift's Wedding Dress Secrets: Will Elie Saab Reign Supreme?

It was the engagement heard around the world - on Tuesday, Taylor Swift announced that she was getting married to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in a sweet Instagram post

TAYLOR SWIFT IS GETTING MARRIED!

The Queen of Pop has finally said it out loud - Taylor Swift is engaged to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce! The news broke on Tuesday, and fans around the world are going wild with excitement. The power couple's engagement announcement was a sweet Instagram post featuring adorable photos of the two embracing in front of a stunning archway made of greenery.

But what really got everyone talking wasn't just the news itself, but the details surrounding their special day. From the designer who might create Taylor's wedding dress to the secret meaning behind their engagement ring, there's so much more to this story than meets the eye.

Both football lovers and music fans will be curious about every aspect of their nuptials - from location to flowers to the guest list, and, perhaps most importantly, Taylor's dress

The Royal Wedding of the Year

When Taylor Swift announced her engagement on Tuesday, fans were over the moon with excitement. And we're not surprised - after all, it's a match made in heaven! The singer-songwriter and football star met last September when Taylor attended a Kansas Chiefs game with Travis's mom, Donna. Since then, they've been inseparable, supporting each other through thick and thin.

Now that the news is out, everyone wants to know more about their upcoming nuptials. Will it be a grand affair in the States or an intimate ceremony abroad? Who will design Taylor's wedding dress - will it be Elie Saab, her go-to designer for red carpet events?

According to style expert Liz Teich of The New York Stylist, Taylor has a multitude of options when it comes to the dress designer she will choose - as she was seen here in her I Bet You Think About Me music video in a wedding gown

The Wedding Dress of Dreams

According to style expert Liz Teich of The Scholarly Note, Taylor has plenty of options when it comes to choosing a designer. "She loves to support smaller brands," Teich explains. "In fact, she's already shown us what that looks like with her stunning old-mine diamond engagement ring from Kindred Lubeck." But will Taylor opt for something classic and timeless, or something bold and edgy?

Some fans are speculating that Elie Saab might be the perfect choice - after all, he's designed some of Taylor's most iconic dresses over the years. Teich agrees: "Elie Saab has been a staple in Taylor's wardrobe for over a decade, including her show-stopping ombré dress at the 2015 Grammys."

Taylor wore two gorgeous, bridal-inspired gowns by Elie Saab on the Eras Tour, including one that featured delicate white florals along the hemline and a sequined bodice

But what about up-and-coming designers? Style expert Heather Campbell Green of @Celebstyleguide thinks that Taylor might surprise us with something entirely new. "She has a long history with Vivienne Westwood, Versace, and Zuhair Murad," Green explains. "All three of these brands could create a gown that feels glamorous yet deeply personal."

Hidden Details in the Engagement Ring

Fans are also obsessed with the details surrounding Taylor's engagement ring - an oval-cut diamond set in yellow gold, with what appears to be a small 'T' on the side of the rock. Some have theorized that there might be a matching 'T' on the other side, representing Taylor and Travis.

Celebrity style expert Heather Campbell-Green of the popular account @Celebstyleguide also seems to think that Taylor might be looking towards an Elie Saab gown, like she did on her Eras Tour

But what about the location where they took their engagement photos? Social media users are convinced that the backdrop has a deeper meaning - after all, Taylor sang about secret gardens in numerous songs over the years. Others have pointed out that the location looks eerily similar to where she did her album Lover photoshoot.

A Wedding Fit for Royalty

It's clear that this won't just be any ordinary wedding. With their combined fame and influence, Taylor and Travis are going all out for an unforgettable celebration. From the venue to the guest list, every detail will be carefully curated to reflect their unique love story.

But once Taylor has decided on a designer, she'll then have to make an even more difficult decision: what her wedding dress will actually look like

So when can we expect the big day? According to sources close to the couple, it might have to wait until after Travis's football season ends. We'll just have to stay tuned and keep our eyes peeled for more updates on this royal wedding of the year!

The Eras Tour-Inspired Wedding

As fans know all too well, Taylor Swift loves to incorporate subtle Easter eggs into her performances. And we're guessing that won't change at her wedding either! Teich agrees: "She'll likely include symbolic references to her music or love story with Travis in her ceremony look."

Most recently, Swift wore a gorgeous, pale blue gown by Oscar de la Renta to the premiere of her 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour' concert movie

Will she break out some sequins like Ashish's iconic 'I knew u were trouble' graphic top? Or will she opt for something more understated and elegant? Whatever the case, we know it'll be a wedding fit for royalty - after all, Taylor Swift is getting married to her beloved Travis Kelce!

According to Campbell-Green, Taylor's current aesthetic is 'classic, feminine, and a little vintage inspired,' which could inspire her choice - as seen in the dress she wore in her 'Willow' music video

'Oscar de la Renta, in particular, has strong roots in New York, a city that has been central to Taylor¿s story, which would make that choice feel both symbolic and stylish,' she added

On Swfit's ring finger, the centerpiece of the shoot, was a striking oval-cut diamond set in yellow gold, a vintage-inspired sparkler that instantly set social media alight with praise

Like her famous Eras Tour and multiple costume changes, Teich thinks the same could be true for her upcoming nuptials

Social media users are convinced the backdrop for the photos may have had a deeper meaning, pointing out that Swift sang about secret gardens in numerous songs in the past, including I Hate It Here, Betty, and The Great War
