The Queens granddaughter married rugby player Mike Tindall at the weekend. The ceremony took place on 30th of July at Cannongate Kirk in Edinburgh. Thousands of people gathered along Edinburgh’s royal mile to a catch a glimpse of Scotland’s first Royal wedding in almost 20 years.
The bride looked very elegant in a full length ivory Silk Faille gown designed by Stewart Parvin, who is the Queen’s couturier. The dress features a duchess satin hem and bust and a chevron pleated bodice. Zara complemented her gown with cathedral length veil in fine silk tulle and the Meander Tiara loaned from her mother Princess Anne. The maid of honour, Dolly Maude also wore a Stewart Parvin dress. Her dress was a knee length cocktail dress in dove grey silk duchess satin. The bridesmaids and flower girls wore ivory dresses with grey sashes.
Zara’s flowers were designed by London florist Paul Thomas; she chose a classic theme of ivory and green. The bridal bouquet was a hand tied bouquet of ivory calla lilies, green thistle, lily of the valley, hydrangea and silver senecio cineraria. The bridesmaid’s bouquets were smaller versions of the bridal bouquet, accented with blue thistles. The groom wore an ivory rose buttonhole with senecio foliage.
The outside of Cannongate Kirk was decorated with a huge garland arrangement made using hundreds of ivory flowers and foliage including roses, carnations, stocks, hydrangea, eucalyptus and green thistles. Inside the church there were four large urn arrangements placed behind the altar, of all ivory flowers and foliage.
