Taylor married Richard Burton for the first time (her fifth marriage) in a bright yellow dress and a garland of hyacinth and lily of the valleys as a veil. Just like the legendary actress, Knowles loves bright colors and is particularly partial to this bright shade. Along with an alternative veil, I think Solange would look amazing in this yellow dress, Valentino star heels, and a floral arrangement as a veil.

Diana Ross Sexy

We know Knowles draws a lot of her fashion inspiration from the great diva herself, Diana Ross. I imagine that Knowles goes the sexy and sultry route, she’ll choose a dress from her designer friends, Rodarte, and accessorize with this season’s must have: a faux fur shawl to channel Miss Ross.

The Fashion Bride

A front row fixture in so many fashion shows and events, Knowles clearly knows her fashion. I love London stylist Katy England and her pink candy stripe dress that she wore to marry singer Bobby Gillespie in 2006 is reminiscent of many outfits Knowles has worn in the past. This Alexander McQueen dress is the perfect choice for Knowles to consider as the ruffles lend a dramatic effect yet McQueen’s technique in dress making is one of the most complicated and precise.

Diana Ross Traditional

But Knowles might just surprise us all and wear a traditional white gown! And if she does, I hope she channels another Ross moment. When the disco queen got married in the ‘80s she wore a lace with long sleeves. For Knowles, a stunning Monique Lhuillier wedding dress, complete with tiara and veil would have everyone grabbing for the tissues to wipe away those happy tears!

While Beyonce has a rabid fan base that follows her every fashion move, sister Solange is no slouch in the sartorial department. In fact, when it comes to quirky street style, this Knowles is a winner. Rumor has it she's marrying longtime boyfriend Alan Ferguson this weekend in New Orleans. So expect the unexpected. No white, no lace, no princess-style veil. This is a lady who loves colors, loud prints, and Diana Ross! We've looked back on some other famous brides inspiration for Solange on her big day. Will she go fashion-forward or fool us all and opt for traditional?
