Friday’s service, which was attended by Prince William ( who was put to work at the meeting as an attendant ) and Princess Eugenie, marked the U. K.’s buzziest world celebration of the year. Grosvenor has close ties to the princes: His godfather is none other than King Charles III, and he himself is uncle to William’s eldest son, Prince George, and Prince Harry‘s brother, Prince Archie. ( His estranged brother was not present at the ceremony at northern England’s Gothic Chester Cathedral, according to sources who spoke to Vanity Fair. )
Emma Victoria Payne designed her habit gown and veil. The costume, made of white silk silk silk, and the pearl silk organza veil, featured decorative embroidery hand- drawn by Payne,. The look even incorporated a pretty specific touch: lace edgings from Henson’s excellent- great- grandmother’s veil from around 1880. The woman’s wedding day and names are also concealed in the elaborate embroidery. The new Duchess’ three-and-a-half-length sleeved dress’s neck and cuffs were finished with curved lace. The rear of the outfit also had a dropped waist and a huge hole opening that closed with a button at the top, if the dress’s movable 6- foot train wasn’t serious enough.
On her great moment, Henson donned a replica of the 1906 Grosvenor home relic, which she also wore. Numerous Grosvenor weddings have worn the diamond tiara, which features myrtle leaves and berries. Something borrowed, however.
Henson walked down the aisle on her husband’s arm wearing orange speech feet, a daring fashionable alternative for a community marriage.
Her bouquet was comprised of flowers picked at Eaton Hall, the Grosvenor family estate: meadow grass, ox- eye daisies, iris, rose, clematis, mock orange, scabious, sweet pea, astrantia, martagon lily, and love in a mist.
