Zara's Royal Wedding dress

She is the royal known for her unconventional dress sense, with leopard print hats, a pierced tongue and plenty of cleavage her trademark.

Today though, the Queen's granddaughter put aside her more outlandish image and transformed into a quintessential English bride.
A bouffant fine tulle veil, a full-skirted gown in silk faille and duchess satin, with a chevron pleated corseted bodice, as modest and appropriate as you would expect from such a safe pair of hands as the royal couturier Stewart Parvin.

Her dress, by the Queen's own couturier Stewart Parvin, was a picture of elegant sophistication.

The designer, who christens his dresses with such romantic names as Easy To Love and I've Got a Crush On You, seemed to have hit the mark today, as Zara appeared relaxed and happy - surely the goal of any bride on her big day.

The Queen also in Stewart Parvin


The three young bridesmaids wore ivory and the full-skirted, box pleated dresses cinched with pale china blue ribbon featured columns of covered buttons running down the back, reminiscent of the detailing on the back of Pippa Middleton's now iconic bridesmaid dress.
And the bidesmaid looked good too: Maid of Honour Dolly Maude looked pristine with her elegant up-do and neat dress.

Mother-of-the-bride Princess Anne performed impeccably from a style point of view, wearing a swishy coral pleated skirt with a vintage-inspired cropped jacket (knowing thrifty Anne, it could well really be vintage), its floral print adding the right amount of levity to the neat tailoring.
The happy couple.
