Hugh’s great world marriage was anticipated to be extravagant and lavish without any expense. This included his wife Olivia, who was covered in white velvet, silk velvet, and silk organza in the airy decorated wedding dress by American designer Emma Victoria Payne, also known as EVP.
Features included a bias- cut trousers, a ruffled belt, gathered sleeves, a dropped waist, a keyhole up and a movable two- metre train.

The artist explained the romantic hidden meanings by saying that “each authentic vintage motif from Olivia’s family veil was hand drawn and reimagined into a fresh repeat pattern of graduating curved edges and oval shapes to represent Olivia’s engagement ring setting. The design’s center back is completed by personalized letters and wedding day.”
Olivia chose a gentle beauty combination that highlighted her features while styling her long brown hair in a stylish, complex updo, topped with the Grosvenor family’s headpiece, the Faberge Myrtle Leaf Tiara.
Tiara speculation
The rumor mill ran wild over Olivia’s suitability ahead of the wedding. The Bagration Spinel Tiara and Parure, which Olivia’s mother-in-law Natalia Phillips wore on her own wedding day in 1978, are the most recognizable pieces.
Natalia was pictured wearing a twisted base, pink spinel tiara, and an antique diamond wedding dress. It was part of a set including a necklace, earrings, and a comb that traces back to Princess Catherine Bagration, niece of the legendary Prince Potemkin.
Fans speculated that Olivia might choose the peal and diamond Rosebery Tiara and the Myrtle Wreath Tiara, which was created to resemble a wreath or laurel of leaves.

Olivia added that the couple will be making money after their wedding despite the fact that the Duke owns 300 acres of land in Mayfair and Belgravia.
“It’s obviously a place where we will live, where we’ll be building our lives together”, she said. “And we’re slowly transforming to move up from London, become much more permanent here, and start putting our roots down,” he said.
