To become the Duchess of Westminster in her marriage to Hugh Grosvenor, Duke of Westminster, on 6/7, Olivia Henson's wedding dress needed all the romantic details befitting a royal (or rather adjacent to the royal family) ceremony. The gown, which London・based bridal designer Emma Victoria Payne eventually chose to marry before guests including Prince William and Princess Eugenie, is a "10・year high Society wedding," in addition to all the formal weddings she calls "a high society wedding," and has some hidden sentimental connections with both families. We had a connection.

Let's start with the gown. Olivia Henson entered Chester Cathedral from a vintage Bentley in a modest but memorable wedding dress. The bespoke Emma Victoria Payne design features three-quarter-length sleeves and a front bateau neckline that seamlessly flows into the dramatic train and skirt.

Along the neckline and hem of her sleeves, Henson's wedding dress featured a touch of delicate floral lace. Vogue UK reported that these subtle inclusions were deliberate and steeped in meaning. The flowers in her dress actually nodded to the wedding veil Henson's great-grandmother wore on her wedding day, a piece first made in the 1880s.(We will talk about the history of fashion.Henson's great-grandmother nodded to the wedding veil she wore on her wedding day, the first piece made.

Those touches of floral print paired back to the stunning, dramatic veil that swept behind Henson for a few feet behind her. Behind, her dress also had a keyhole cutout.

Olivia Henson also worked "something blue" on her wedding day look. A pair of pointed-toe blue heels in deep indigo shades peered out from under her skirt.

An allusion to decades of family wedding tradition was not the only special touch of Henson's wedding day look. On top of her romantic bun, Henson wore a Faberge Myrtle leaf tiara. This piece has been in the family of her now husband since 1906 and was made specifically for the Grosvenor bride to wear the aisle, people report.

The design of the tiara is set with diamond-coated laurel leaves and small pearl twigs between them. When Faberge's Myrtle leaf tiara last appeared, Mrs Tamara, the sister of the Duke of Westminster, wore it for her 2004 wedding with Edward van Cutcem in the same chapel.

The love story of the Duke and Duchess of Westminster began when they met through each other's friends in 2021. The pair announced their engagement in 2023. Hugh Grosvenor is Britain's richest man, aged under 2016, with a net worth of £987,800 after inheriting his father's estate in 35 years. He is also a longtime friend of both Prince William and Prince Harry (although the latter skipped the wedding due to ongoing tensions with his immediate family). Olivia Henson, on the other hand, got a comparison with Kate Middleton because her family had an equally close relationship with the British aristocracy.

Although Henson is technically not royal, her wedding dress has a similar formality to that worn by Princess Kate and Meghan Markle in the past 20 years. (Bateau neckline, for example, is reminiscent of Markle's Claire Weight Keller in Givenchy dress.The pomp and circumstance of her wedding day can also match that of her high society peers. She and the Duke of Westminster are expected to have a lavish celebration at the Eton Estate throughout the afternoon and evening after the ceremony.
