Were You WOWED! By Olivia Henson's Wedding Dress?

Casdon

I thought it was a beautiful dress, such a shame it was so windy which made the train and veil uncontrollable at points. Her flowers were gorgeous, garden flowers rather than a bouquet. The small bridesmaids also looked lovely in white, but the matron of honour’s dress reminded me of 1975 Laura Ashley, a lilac flowery number, which I didn’t like at all.

I think the woman in lilac was Emma Victoria Payne who designed the wedding dress.

As I said upthread, I thought she looked lovely, and she loved it and that’s what matters.
However, I much preferred the dress the Princess of Wales wore on her wedding day. And even the dress Pippa Middleton wore. Neither were ostentatious, but both classic and beautiful.

I thought it classically beautiful. Didn't like the shoes but her feet, she can wear what she wants on them 🙂

Can you imagine, if she had worn a volumous crinoline number.......she would have taken flight like Mary Poppins! I quite liked the style of her dress - less is more as they say.

It’s a good thing we don’t all like the same things, isn’t it?
I thought the bride looked lovely, the dress looked elegant, but obviously not everyone feels the same.

I didn't think much of it either, I like that the Tatler describe it as 'far from ostentatious' in other words, plain

Simple, timeless and elegant. I liked it.

Given the kind of wedding it was I suspect the dress was deliberately not a WOW dress.

Restrained elegance seemed to be the order of the day.

Some details

Nowt flash. Seen better!

I shoukd Google Olivia Henson because unlike the GN responses, all aware of her and what she wore, I have never heard of her, but wish her and new husband well as I wish all newly married couples.

It was a very classy dress, not what I would consider a WOW dress, but it was her dress. All brides have their own style, and it makes not one jot of difference what anyone else thinks about it. All that matters is that the bride feels wonderful in it. My daughter has recently chosen her own wedding dress, and I think she looks absolutely stunning in it. I'm sure there are some who would say they don't like the style, but we can't all like the same things can we? What a boring world that would be. And as long as my daughter loves it and feels amazing on her special day, that's all that matters.

She looked lovely, but no, it was not a WOW dress.

The dress was perfect on her, loved the blue shoes, love a little quirkyness, free ice cream, thoughtful gesture😀

The dress was very nice but didn’t wow me.
The tiara and veil on the other hand were gorgeous.
Wouldn’t have put the bridesmaids in those awful shoes though.

I'm not sure that it is anything to do with anyone else to scutinise this young woman on her wedding day. They certainly made a handsome.couple, the rest is down to personal choice.

What a lovely thoughtful gesture!

It was a Faberge tiara. She was happy with what she wore which is the important thing
Apparently they paid for the Chester in Bloom floral displays and bought everyone in the City yesterday an ice cream.
They are young and the richest people in the country. I wish them every happiness.

She looked lovely the dress was simple but perfect for her I expect, every Bride's dress shows their personality.
Her Blue Shoes, I liked her style on that. I read they cost around £350 but her new MiL shoes around £1500.

A very beautiful girl in a beautiful classuc dress .I like the shape .
I didn't like the blue shoes , but her choice .

I wish them every joy and happiness .

I thought it was beautiful on her.
And love the veil details.

Nice. Very English!

I thought it was a beautiful dress.

I thought the bride looked elegant and classy and I loved the quirky touch of wearing dark blue velvet shoes.

The Duke and Duchess went to great lengths to share their wedding day with local people and despite the actions of two elderly ladies from Just stop oil trying to disrupt the bridal party leaving church they were soon apprehended by the police and soundly booed by the crowd.

Just seen a few pictures on Facebook. It didn’t reveal the shoes.

I thought it looked as I imagined an aristocratic, very classy wedding is all about.

The Duke is a handsome chap.

Breeding will out.

I thought she looked nice, but I was mainly thinking that the groom was rather attractive.
And 9 billion as well!
