The wedding dress was worn by Leia Organa[1] in 4 ABY[3] during her wedding to Han Solo at the Bright Tree temple on Endor shortly after the Battle of Endor.[1]
The dress was made of a soft, meadow green fabric and embroidered with flowers similar to the ones that grew outside the temple. The dress hung loose but it wasn't shapeless. The sides were open which gave Organa room to move her leg and expose the laces of her white fur boots that went up to her knees that she wore during the ceremony.[1]
During the wedding ceremony Organa held a bouquet of wildflowers, that she later passed to Mon Mothma so that she could hold hands with Solo, which was tied together with the same bit of lacing that was woven in her hair. Organa's hair hung loose in waves down her back with two small braids framing her face to keep the locks out of her way. Solo suspected that Organa picked the flowers just before she'd climbed the ladder to the temple.[1]
As Solo saw her approaching him in the dress, he noted that she wore flowers but no jewels and looked more like a nymph than a princess. Later at the wedding reception, Organa pondered about what her wedding would have been like if her homeworld of Alderaan had not been destroyed, noting that she would have worn a customary lace dress.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The dress appears in the novel The Princess and the Scoundrel by Beth Revis and can be seen on the book's cover.[1] Illustrator Tara Phillips later did artwork of Leia in her wedding dress which was published in the magazine Variety.[4]

- ↑ Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary dates the wedding of Han Solo and Leia Organa to thirty years before the "Starkiller Incident," which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 34 ABY. From this it can be deduced that the wedding took place in 4 ABY and therefore the dress must have been made prior to that.
