Zara Phillips was looking utterly resplendent as she walked down the aisle to Mike Tindall wearing a classic gown designed by the Queen's own couturier, Stewart Parvin. The full-skirted beauty was adorned with a row of covered buttons and topped off with a cathedral-length (ie: to the floor) veil, plus her mother's Greek key tiara.
The wedding was attended by countless royals, athletes and famed Brits; but notably,Duchess Kate, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Princess Anne, Duchess Camilla and Sophie, Countess of Wessex all donned very similar, simple beige pumps!
But it wasn’t just the bride’s frock in fact, there was more coiffed hair under fancy hats than a day at the races and given the choice of footwear, we’re assuming a strict ‘Nude Heels Only’ memo.
The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton chose a brocade coat by Jane Troughtonin an understated, Mother-Middy-would-approve creamy tone to avoid upstaging the bride. The hat is sitting at a precariously jaunty angle, makes a more adventurous statement than we’re used to.
As for the maven of bonkers wedding wear, Angela kelly Beatrice princess Zara continued her sartorial epiphany with a fabulous fitted jacket with flared peplum detail by Angela Kelly over a matching dress covered in corsages and Swarorski crystals. And proving just how far she’s come post hat-gate, Bea wisely opted for a subtle satellite dish-inspired hat.
Bea’s sister Eugenie also fared better than she did on 29th April. Her very safe chocolate-brown dress with an oyster-coloured fitted jacket guarantees she won't fall into Ugly Sisters territory again.
Camilla’s hat is so lovable. Granted, it is a tad sprouty and pot-plant-esque, but the delicate feather-like detailing makes it an original and youthful creation. As for the tailored silk jacket, no prizes for guessing this one’s by Anna Valentine, the same designer who made the Duchess of Cornwall’s elegant outfit for Wills and Kate’s Big Day, as well as her own.
A refreshingly summery sight came courtesy of Coronation Street actress Katherine Kelly who swooshed into Canongate Kirk sporting cascading ruffles on a flowing neutral gown, polished off with a bold colour-popping, wide-brimmed hat and matching orange clutch.
What on EARTH was Una Healy thinking? This saucy minx went a skin-flashing step further with a skimpy strapless frock covered in vibrant florals and black lace.
Last but never least, we give you the Queen. Just as she did for April's Royal Wedding, for which she wore colour-blocking yellow by Stewart Parvin, HRH sported a summery head-to-toe hue from the designer, this time in a delightful shade of apricot. Meanwhile, the complementary hat with feather detailing is by Rachel Trevor-Morgan.
