#FaveOutfitFriday Royal Wedding Edition

We’re doing royal weddings today and I’m going to do two posts. This is the first one covering my favorite royal wedding ever. It will be followed by a post on best royal wedding elements (gown, veil, flowers, pictures, etc...). I hope this will be fun for everyone. Remember, in keeping with the theme we will be rewatching Diana’s wedding tomorrow at 23:00 UTC.

My favorite royal wedding gown EVER is Sarah Chatto’s. Think it’s simply beautiful (literally because it’s actually a very simple design) and she looked gorgeous in it. Her wedding is, imo, the best royal wedding EVER. I know it was a low-key wedding for a minor member of the brf, but the attention to detail was amazing and the whole thing was gorgeous. The bridesmaids dresses were breathtaking and the medieval feel of the gowns suited the venue perfectly. The wedding took place at St. Stephen’s in London, but the entire event had a medieval feel to it, as Sarah is a painter and she was heavily influenced by Holbein’s work. The floral hairdos still make me swoon.

Not surprising for a photographer’s daughter, Sarah got amazing pics at the wedding. This is some of the best royal wedding photography out there.

We don’t have pics of the ceremony, but check out the church’s interior and picture those dresses and flowers in that space. It must have been breathtaking.

The family picture is also lovely. I adore that they did it against a medieval tapestry (matching the bridesmaids’ dresses!).

The tiara was beautiful with a cute family story behind it and a complementary splash of greenery. I love that the tiara is made of brooches and the brooches still get used by the family.

The earrings also have a royal story behind them. Sarah wears them to almost all royal events as a tribute to her mum.

Here’s a video fo the arrivals at the wedding. The bride’s arrival with her attendants is sheer perfection. It’s like going back in time.

I feel this wedding had it all. Gorgeous gowns and flowers that reflected the bride’s passion for art. Family heirlooms beautifully repurposed. Lovely venue perfectly suited to a minor royal venue. Amazing photos. It had it all.

St Augustine with St Faith, with only the tower remaining. Beautiful #light today and #blue skies and #clouds. An Anglican church which stood just to the east of @stpaulscathedrallondon in the City of London. First recorded in the 12th century, it was destroyed by the #greatfireoflondon and rebuilt to the designs of Christopher Wren, with #hawksmoor adding the #spire (I think the pyramid is very Hawksmoor-esque This building was destroyed by bombing during the Second World War, and its remains now form part of the#modernist #brutalist #architecture, St Paul's Cathedral Choir School. #staugustinetower #staugustine #citychurch #wrenchurch #sirchristopherwren #christopherwren #nicholashawksmoor #cityoflondon #londonhistory #lovelondon (at St Augustine Watling Street)
