How would yandere Terry Silver(different eras plus his parents since I kinda dig the possessive in laws thing) react to the reader running away from her own wedding with them and she makes a run for it when it's time for the vows to be said, how would they react and what will they do to her when they catch her?

---

Okay, but Terry Silver's parents HAVE to be at least some shade of creepy.

And at least some shade of amazingly cunning, just like him.

I think they all collectively, Terry the groom, and his parents the in-laws, kind of, sort of predict beloved's fidgety disposition in this whole marriage situation purely through being observational alone and as such go out of their way to take tactical precautions to ensure no unpredictables happen all while upholding a facade of blissful cluelessness, feeding into the notion that they haven't got an idea that beloved has plans to slither off --- which they do, they account for all unpredictables --- like, yes, one of these unpredictables being beloved getting cold feet and running off. Because, this is their son. This is them. The Silver family. They're rich! They're old money! They've companies and mansions and a pedigree! They aren't about to allow their bride to escape on them --- and they won't, hellbent on control in all aspects of everything...just like their son. Blood is blood, after all. They'll have beloved so entangled and preoccupied with the whole marriage preparations to Terry they're literally never given a free minute to themselves to even contemplate an escape, lest of all bring one into fruition successfully.

Then there's all the 'family traditions' they can make up to divert beloved.

Hey, if Terry could just...make up The Quicksilver method...

Not to mention the gardeners, the maids, the chauffeurs would just tip them off. The Major Domo of the Silver household spotted beloved at the window --- second story, looking off ominously into the distance. Is beloved contemplating climbing down somehow when they think nobody is looking and mayhaps running off a week before the happiest day in their life? Reginald doesn't know, but he alerts his bosses anyway just to be safe, the Mister and Mrs. Silver, right along their son, immediately. Long story short, the estate is immediately even more thickly populated with workers, assistants and managers decorating the whole place. Not a single truly desolate spot in this manor through which beloved could slip through in silence.

Are...is that a security team on all entrances?

Dogs barking at the gates?

Cars parked out front by the dozens?

Also, how did beloved fall asleep for an entire day?

Did someone kindly slip some harmless medication into their drink?

To calm those reception nerves and have them get some beauty rest, of course?

There's a bridal party of exclusive guests downstairs that never seems to goddamn leave --- and regardless if this is Twig, or the odd scenario with 1980's Terry and his parents perhaps still being around (?) Terry always in the bridal bedchamber with his bride-to-be. Of course, his parents say, where would he be? Devotion between spouses is key and they're awfully eager for grandchildren too --- and as soon as possible. At one point, someone tells the charming anecdote about how a distant Silver ancestor back in the old country was a great proponent of bridal kidnappings and how he acquired his own spouse through such extreme measures...but that is just an old, silly legend it is decided as everyone laughs at heartily over some wine from the family's cellar.

Did I mention they've an awful of cellars, attics and basements?

Everyone can get a tour, beloved included.

😉

Terry's mother is in her element, taking the liberty of ordering the most lavish fabrics imaginable for the eighth subsequent gown try-out this week, with constant (unnecessary) remodelings being made by her team of private seamstresses and handpicked stylists. How about this brooch? It is a family heirloom? A fascinator hat or a veil? Which shoes? Which bouquet with which obtusely expensive floral arrangements? Ivory or pure white? Silk or brocade? The size of the train. The undergarments. The gloves and the jewelry and the ring. So many unanswered questions, options, choices and decisions thrown together all at once that beloved can't seem to give an outright response to because beloved spends almost the entire day trapped in their own dress on stand while the busy, ever so diligent seamstresses are literally sowing them into the gown, with the Silver matriarch directing everything and cooing proudly and insidiously. No, no. Beloved mustn't move at all because the fine stitching will snap. They have to be perfectly still. Beloved isn't going anywhere because beloved is constantly too busy, day and night and always as a blushing bride to be ought to be, caught in the overblown artifice of all these intricate rituals.

How about specially commissioned crystal studded heels? They're awfully heavy.

Awfully difficult to run in.

What about a ring passed down from one generation to the other?

Highlighting the guilt beloved would feel in possibly breaking such an important custom.

Terry's father could be the more practical and pragmatic one, if he was ever a businessman and a company owner is his life, which it is told to us that he was; He could just show up with the officiant on his own doorstep, who's chauffeured in by the Silver family's driver, unannounced, impromptu, to make this official. Beloved isn't told. Beloved's just placed in front of an already decided thing. Surprise! You're getting married...now. After that, you're going on your honeymoon which we picked out, as our gift to you and if need be, we’ll give you, the lovebirds a lift to the airport too. Dazed and practically raised out of their own bed by a gaggle of assistants dressing beloved, they're astounded and somewhat frightening by how quickly this is happening and unfolding. They...were supposed to have a whole week left to try and escape and turns out, now they're trapped, dragged and coaxed off to a quickly slapped together private family wedding literally taking place in Terry's father's parlour. Terry knows, because Terry stands there like he's won something once his parents unveil a commissioned, mega-sized oil painting of beloved's and Terry's faces that can now hang in the study, right next to theirs. How lovely. The tradition and the legacy continues.

Maybe beloved faints in shock and terror, right into Terry's arms.

How precious; even that is seen as utterly romantic.

Beloved fainted from joy and wedding jitters.

Terry has to smile as he scoops them up.

EMILY’S BIG DAY: THE GUESTS, THE FASHION, AND ... THE DRAMA?

The newly-minted Duchess of Fjord was a vision in white on her big day! Although we have no actual pictures of the ceremony (let’s not hold our breath on this one because these two are crazy private), we did get to see a teensy bit of what she wore for the ceremony.

The dress is rumoured to be a bespoke piece by famed Champs Les Sims Fashion House Cleo Concha. The dress (or what we saw of it, at least), features a deep neckline, a cinched waist with pleated details, and a long flowing skirt. 

All eyes, however, were on the bride’s new headpiece. Although she opted not to go with a traditional veil, she did wear a stunning tiara for the occasion - the Fjord Tiara. The sparkling diadem features a row of graduating heart motifs mounted with hundreds of diamonds, set in platinum. The tiara was a wedding present to the 7th Duke of Fjord to his wife, making it a prized family heirloom. As Duchess of Fjord, Emily now has access to the piece as well as a few other treasures within the Fjord Estate vault.

The day was made extra-special by the fact that Em’s family came to support her on her big day.

Her little sister Olivia served as her maid of honour. The stunning blonde was photographed outside the chapel, wearing a high-necked teal bridesmaid dress and carrying a white bouquet. The mother of the bride, meanwhile was also a vision in teal. The ageless beauty wore a floral print wrap dress and accessorised with a matching headband. 

The bride’s cousins also attended the big day. The Crown Princess arrived with her paternal aunt, Her Majesty Queen Josephine of Rennaux. Although The Crown Princess attended as the bride’s cousin, she was also there to represent her parents who were unable to attend due to a previous engagement. The Queen of Rennaux, meanwhile, is close friends with The Duke of Fjord. She, along with her younger brother, Prince Jacques, are childhood friends of The Duke.

Crown Princess Anya wore a lovely vintage blue dress with hand-embroidered flowers. She completed her outfit with a matching hat and court shoes, and accessorised with tiny pearl and diamond drop earrings, and a diamond necklace. 

Queen Josephine, meanwhile, opted for a lavender blouse and black skirt, which she paired with a purple coat. Her Majesty finished her look with a matching floral hat, black tights and black pumps. 

The Holm brothers also attended the private ceremony. Leon arrived first, together with his wife, Lady Chloe, who wore a bright red dress and red fascinator. Not long after, Luke arrived with the lovely Penny in tow, who wore a fitted blue dress and a floral headpiece. 

The day went off without a hitch... well, almost. Also invited was Princess Eleanore, and that is where the drama began.

The Princess insisted on taking her boyfriend’s family’s helicopter, which obviously drew attention. The chopper landed in one of The Duke’s nearby estates, but its arrival prompted reporters to come rushing through to take a photo of the controversial Princess. The helicopter ride was deemed “completely unnecessary” by royal watchers, seeing as even The Crown Princess herself was content to take the long but doable drive from Brindleton to the neighbouring Kingdom of Rennaux.

To make matters worse, she brought a plus one, which the bride explicitly prohibited. A source shares: “Emily was disappointed that Eleanore has decided to make the intimate, family-only occasion into another publicity stunt. She had a rule: no ring, no bring - save for the exception of Luke and Penny, as Penny and Em have met before, and are somehow friends. Eleanore either didn’t get the memo or she chose to ignore the bride’s wishes altogether.” 

Perhaps in yet another attempt to irritate the bride, Princess Eleanore wore what seems to be a white dress to the wedding. Much like the bride’s actual wedding dress, Princess E’s frock also featured a deep neckline and a flowing skirt! The suddenly camera-shy Princess was photographed arriving late at the venue with her boyfriend, along with her usual army of bodyguards. 

The insider further spilled: 

“Alice was livid. She was already annoyed with the helicopter ordeal, but Eleanore upstaging Emily was the last straw for her. Princess Alice reportedly asked Eleanore to skip the reception, but Emily convinced her mum to just let it go. Eleanore reasoned that the dress was not white, but “cream,” and that it wasn’t her fault people think it’s white. Even Emily’s new husband was peeved and was ready to have the Princess escorted out of the reception, but Emily again intervened. Poor Anya was left mortified by her sister’s latest antics, and was seen apologising to her aunt, her cousin, and The Duke of Fjord repeatedly throughout the event.” 

We guess it’s safe to say that where Eleanore goes, drama follows!

One thing’s for sure, however, the Duchess of Fjord is perhaps the coolest, chillest bride to ever exist. Congratulations again to the happy couple!

Viewing Party

So the other night @ooo-barff-ooo and I were talking about how much we loved our TRR MCs, Claire Berkley and Joanna Malone, and how it would be cool if they were friends and I was like well what if they were and then this happened. 

Without further ado, I give you the ultimate friendship of C and J, getting drunk together and watching everyone’s favorite fairy tale on live television: The Royal Romance- Liam and Riley’s wedding. 

FEATURING: JOANNA MALONE, CLAIRE BERKLEY, AND DAN DAN THE BARTENDER MAN. 

“See you tomorrow, Dan,” Claire called from behind the bar.  “Same bat time, same bat place.” He said over his shoulder. He gave a one handed wave and strode toward the front door and sweet freedom. He’d been there since 11 am and it was approaching midnight- the joys of working a double shift- and he was due for another one in the morning, so he couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Claire had come in at 5pm, and would sling drinks until last call at 4am, when the shift workers and doctors and construction guys and fisherman had had either thier first or last drinks of the night. Joanna would open, Dan would pull the double, and Claire would close. That was the general flow.

Tonight, though, was not a general night. At roughly 5 am EST the most anticipated marriage of the year would be televised live- the Cordonian Royal Wedding-New York bartender Riley Brooks was rising to the rank of queen as she married future king Liam Rys after falling in love with him in the most modern of Cinderella stories: she took out the trash at his bachelor bash and ended up stealing his heart and his hand.

Claire checked on her ten or so customers, making sure that all of their glasses were full before slipping into the closet they called a kitchen. There was a single basket fryer, a flat top that could fit no more than four frozen burger patties, and a coffee maker. She reached for the can of Folger's on the top shelf and scooped some of it into the brew basket before jamming it into the machine and pressing "start". She leaned against the counter ledge as she waited for the deep brown liquid to fill the little clear pot, pulling her phone from her apron to text Joanna.

-Hey girl, you're stopping for snacks right? I'm starving. 

Jo had been off from work since 5pm when Claire got in. She'd gone home and taken a nap before running a few errands for the viewing party they'd been planning ever since they saw that first tabloid article about the Prince choosing his bride. Claire and Jo were not the type of girls who would normally get so involved in the billion dollar weddings of fancy rich nobles and dignitaries around the world- hell they had been invited to Steve's wedding- a guy they used to work with and actually knew without the need for magazine or television coverage- and despite their manager saying that they could close the bar for a night so everyone could go to the wedding, Claire and Jo declined, not really liking Steve...or weddings. "I have a school thing that night...um...presentation. Of my...thesis," Jo had said. She was working on her Master's degree while slaving at Keagan's, so her excuse seemed to work, even though it was a summer course and she wouldn't actually be working on her thesis for another five months.  "And um, I have an...appointment that afternoon that....I can't reschedule..." Claire chimed in her thinly veiled excuse. She did have an appointment...for hair color...and she'd really rather not reschedule it just to go sit at Steve's wedding. But this wedding, dubbed "The Royal Romance" by the media, was a different story, namely for who would be standing next to the Prince as he said his "I do's".

-Um, did you see the pictures of the Prince's friend? The dude with the hair and the eyebrows and the denim? He's all the snack we need, C. (but yes I also got snacks for eating) 

Claire laughed at Jo's response, typed out a quick one back saying how excited she was, and then poured herself a large black coffee before heading back to the bar to finish up her shift. As the last patron stumbled out the door and it shut with a tingling of bells, she flipped the sign to the closed side, locked the door and turned off the neon lights in the windows. She went back to the bar cooler and took a tray of jello shots out, setting them on the freshly cleaned bar top. She then went to her bag and took two brightly colored headbands that she’d attached lace and tooling and feathers and beads to, and set them next to the shots. Changing the channels on all the televisions to various news stations, she sat back and enjoyed the “pregame coverage” of the wedding while she waited for Joanna. Just as she finished the last of the coffee she’d brewed hours earlier, she heard a tapping at the window and looked over to see her friend waving excitedly and holding up a bag. Claire set her empty coffee mug down and crossed the bar to open the door and let Jo in.

“Welcome to the wedding of the century, Madame,” Claire greeted her with a flourish and a funny bow.

Jo did an awkward curtsy. “Why thank you Madame, so pleased I could join you.” The two dissolved into laughter and headed over to the bar. Joanna hopped up onto a stool and took stock of the things Claire had laid out while adding the bag she’d brought with her. She picked up one of the headbands and laughed. “Oh my god, Claire, did you really make us fascinators?”

Claire raised her eyebrows. “Um, yeah I made us fascinators! Riley has been obsessed with fancy hats throughout the whole social season! Homegirl would not shut up about them- like, every chance she could get to wear one she did and she even brought them up in interviews… I thought it would be weirder if I didn’t make us fascinators.”

“Good point. I really don’t know how Prince Liam is looking past that. He must really love that dizzball.” Joanna plopped the colorful headpiece on top of her noggin and Claire took the other one and shoved it into her frizzy hair. Next Joanna picked up one of the shots Claire had made. “Ew, Jell-o shots?” she made a face, pulling one half of her mouth up to show her disgust.

“Caramel apple jell-o shots, to be exact. You know, because Cordonia’s obsessed with apples? And caramel because I’m obsessed with caramel.” She shrugged. “Once we’re a few drinks in we won’t care if they’re gross.”

“So true my friend. So,” she opened the shopping bag she’d had with her and pulled out several small plastic containers. “We’ve got…olives…stuffed grape leaves…and, drum roll,” Claire obliged, rapping her pointer fingers on the bar top. “Baklava! You know cause,” Jo shrugged, “Cordonia, Greece…they’re sorta the same right?”

“Sure. Probably not but sure.” Claire laughed and Joanna tossed an olive at her.

“Okay well they are tonight. Also,” next she pulled out a sheet of paper. “I made up a drinking game for this here wedding.” On the screen they were showing a photo montage of Riley and Liam from all the different events from the social season. “Okay, rules- If anyone mentions apples, or there’s a flag with apples or we see an apple tree or they say “Cordonian Ruby”, we take one of these gross shots here,” she pointed to Claire’s Jell-o shots. “Any time we see fancy hats, or some noble lady curtsies or some dude in a suit bows, we take a sip of our ciders. If they call Riley “The American” we finish ‘em.”

“Wait, let me get this straight. You made up a drinking game with no whiskey involved?” Claire asked, skeptically narrowing her eyes at Joanna.

“I wasn’t done, C! Okay, so any time Mr. broody Mc Brooderson Drake Walker, love of our lives and real reason that we are watching this ridiculous wedding at 5am, is shown looking like he wants to kiss Riley, we do a shot of whiskey in his angsty honor. I was going to suggest Fireball but-“

“But you remember the holiday party from last year. Yeah, everyone does,” Claire hid her face in her hands embarrassed, preferring to forget that night and the drunken mess she’d been.

“Right. I remembered the holiday party and how Fireball turns you into a demon. So, I figured SoCo would do.”

“Yeah, that’s never made me dance on the bar while trying to fight Steve, so good call.”

Joanna nodded. “Any rules you want to add?”

Claire thought for a moment and then something blue and…unique…caught her eye on the screen. They were talking about Maxwell Beaumont again, and his propensity to wear themed suits. He had this hilarious blue suit with a squid on it; even the bow-tie was a tiny cephalopod. “Oh! Yes! Every time they have to pan away from that,” she pointed to Maxwell in the suit, “so as not to ruin a picture or a shot, we take a cider sip.”

Joanna laughed. “Deal. Oh! Its starting!!” She spun her stool so she could lean back against the bar to watch. Claire poured them each a cider and they clinked them together before taking a sip, pinkies out. “Ugh, and to think, this girl worked right down the street from us. Like, this coulda been us, C!”

Claire blinked before they both burst into laughter. “Yeah we’d both make excellent queens, I’m sure.”

*** *** *** *** *** *** ***

Dan unlocked the bar door and opened it, setting the bells jingling. Before he had even set one foot inside, he heard the raucous laughter of his two best friends, and shook his head wondering what he was about to walk into. “Is it just me, Jo, or does the Queen Mother look like a Royal Ducking Bitch?” Claire’s voice was sing songy and full of laughter.

Joanna was laying her arms and top half on the bar top, laughing hysterically, almost to the point where she couldn’t get her words out. She managed to respond, “Quack, mother ducker!!” before giggles swallowed her ability to speak further.

“Did…did you two really just autocorrect yourselves?” Dan called, hands on his hips taking in the scene in front of him. They each had a funny looking headband dangling from their heads, empty jello glasses littered the bar, and at least three shots of whiskey each sat next to them. If only Drake hadn’t been pining for Riley The American Queen so badly, they wouldn’t have had to nearly finish the bottle of SoCo.

“Yes, Dan, we are at a fancy ducking event here.” Claire pointed to her fascinator, to how it was barely staying together after she and Jo had danced and drank and laughed and flopped against the bar top.

“Yeah, and we can’t be ducking rude and curse like sailors, Dan!” Joanna chimed in. “The Queen would not allow it!”

“She would not!” they had put on silly accents by now, not coming anywhere close to the Cordonian accent…or any accent in the world, really, but forcing so much laughter from one another that they cried.

“Okay tweedles C and J,” Dan clapped them both on the back. “Outta my bar, you drunkards. Go sleep off the wedding, I’ll see you back for your shifts in a few hours.” Now it was his turn to laugh almost to the point of tears, as they both groaned thinking about bartending while hungover at 3 in the afternoon.

“Worth it,” Jo said to Claire, high fiving her sloppily.

“Totally.” Claire answered.

Fergie’s outfit was old-fashioned, but Eugenie’s dress was as 21st century as her guests

Let’s be honest. The wedding of Princess Eugenie to Jack Brooksbank was lovely but the most fascinating thing about it was what everyone wore. 

Which is not surprising since weddings are society’s red-carpet moments now that nobody gives parties any more.

Not proper parties. Yes, there are fashion house-sponsored bashes such as Cartier Polo and the Serpentine Party, or annual museum extravaganzas such as the V&A and Royal Academy summer parties, but these are all essentially promotional events – or as the former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown once quipped, ‘parties for a rising young cigar’. 

But glamorous private parties without a corporate logo board and a phalanx of photographers to justify their existence have become an endangered species.

Eugenie’s dress revealed a thin white scar from a major childhood operation to correct her scoliosis ran from her low chignon down the centre of her spine

Princess Eugenie left the scar from her surgery for scoliosis to treat a curvature of the spine at the age of 12 clearly visible

Wedding celebrations, however, are on the increase. The bigger, the better. 

A fact which the young couple took to heart as they squeezed 200 more guests into St George’s Chapel than Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did a few months ago. 

‘That’s Eugenie and Jack. They’ve got so many friends,’ explained father- of-the-bride Prince Andrew proudly, thereby inferring that the Sussexes might be slightly lacking in that department.

Luckily for us, not only do Jack and Eugenie have a lot of friends but the combined turnout of their friends and a Royal full house meant the frock-o-meter was operating at full-tilt – starting with the bride’s dress.

In a very modern way, Eugenie had used the focus of her dress, a deep V back, to make a philanthropic statement. 

A thin white scar from a major childhood operation to correct her scoliosis ran from her low chignon down the centre of her spine.

Nick Candy and Holly Candy, the Australian singer and actress known as Holly Valance in a figure-hugging pink shift with a crystal waistline, arrive for the wedding

It was deliberately exposed to give encouragement to others suffering from the same condition. She also chose a pair of designers, Christopher de Vos and Peter Pilotto (who operate under only Peter’s name). 

They are well known in the fashion world but little known outside, so Eugenie bypassed the traditional wedding- dress designers or more expected names such as Erdem or Jenny Packham. 

Peter Pilotto are famous for their brightly coloured digital prints and bespoke textiles.

This Royal commission will have thrilled one of the brand’s major investors, Megha Mittal, of the Indian steel family. 

Eugenie’s dress, with its corseted bodice, long train and intricate folded bustle, had echoes of Victoriana but the wedding guests were a very 21st Century mix – TV personalities, models, aristocracy and art-world personalities.

Kate Moss was placed front row in full view of the television cameras at the precise point where the princess joined her groom.

Dressed in a white and navy polka dot suit, Kate was one of the few women in an above-the-knee skirt but, more remarkably, one of few women with a 16-year-old daughter – Lila, seated one row behind – who appeared happy to wear the same style of veiled hat as her mum. 

Also part of the Moss group was her boyfriend Nikolai, while Nikolai’s mother, Countess Debonnaire von Bismarck, arrived in a bubblegum pink suit alongside Naomi Campbell, dressed as a flamboyant crow in a feather and sequined black dress.

The ghost at the wedding was Chinese businessman David Tang, who died almost penniless last year.

Fergie, arriving full throttle in a green outfit that could have been designed in 1986, the year of her own marriage, was best friends with this exuberant social conductor, whose generous entertaining had introduced many of the wedding guests to each other. 

Although the star of any wedding is the bride, we all know from our own experience that these clan gatherings are opportunities for everyone to make their own statements.

Cara Delevingne, dressed as the Artful Dodger in Emporio Armani top hat and tails, clearly wanted to tell us that she has no time for sexual stereotypes. 

At the opposite end of the spectrum, Holly Valance, in a figure-hugging pink shift with a crystal waistline, epitomised the trophy-wife style that her husband, the brazen property developer Nick Candy, would be proud of.

Pixie Geldof showed off her fashion cred by wearing slightly tricky, billowing bubblegum Celine, while Royal ex Cressida Bonas, who has clearly moved on in her life, looked relaxed in American designer Tory Burch while sporting the informal headband alternative to hats also shared by Lady Helen Taylor and Princess Beatrice.

Beatrice played an unconventional maid-of-honour role, cannily avoiding having to traipse up the aisle behind her younger sister, dressed as an ageing bridesmaid. 

Instead of echoing the white dress and colourful sash of the tiny attendants, she joined the rest of the Royal Family in going for a slab of block colour in Ralph & Russo cyan blue.

The Royal pews clearly hadn’t received this season’s fashion memo, which dictates clashing prints and dark florals. Instead they looked like a Pantone chart. 

The Duchess of Cambridge in fuchsia Alexander McQueen, the Duchess of Sussex in very sober navy Givenchy, Zara Tindall in cobalt blue, Princess Anne in an emerald two-piece, and, of course, the Queen, as usual a tiny but unmissable figure in her ice-blue matching coat dress.

Not a trace of a pattern to be seen among them. But then Royals traditionally go for single colour instead of patterns because they stand out more clearly in a crowd. Not that any of them were attempting to steal the attention from the bride. And nor did they.

Ultimately, despite the high celeb quotient, nobody could disagree that with her majestic gown, incredible Greville Emerald Kokoshnik tiara and the mega-watt smile that couldn’t stop breaking out, this was indeed Eugenie’s day of days.

Do you really need so many rings, Meghan?

The Duchess of Sussex may have gone to great lengths to avoid upstaging the bride at the wedding with her understated Givenchy dress and coat but the moment she waved to the crowds, she revealed an undeniable flash of gold.

On her left hand, as usual, she wore her engagement ring with a Botswana diamond and her Welsh gold wedding ring. But on her right hand, adorning three fingers were four substantial rings by Canadian designer Pippa Small.

Not only did Meghan, 37, wear Small’s £950 almost ring, two £1,800 Greek rings and a £750 eternity ring, but she also sported a Herkimer diamond bracelet and stud earrings from the same collection.

This prominent display at such a prestigious event is sure to boost the fortunes of the ethical jeweller, who describes herself as a ‘human rights activist and survival ambassador’, and whose interests apparently align closely with those of the Duchess.

Pippa, who has designed for Nicole Farhi, Tom Ford at Gucci and Chloe under Phoebe Philo, can also count the Duchess of Cambridge among her fans.

She is closely involved with the Turquoise Mountain charity, which supports craft projects around the world. Prince Charles is the patron.

Last night Pippa told The Mail on Sunday: ‘To see her wearing our jewellery was amazing. She looked so beautiful. I have never met her but I think we share a lot of interests. It’s wonderful that she is championing our causes.’

Snap up a goody bag – for just 99p

Goody bags from Harry and Meghan’s wedding sold for £21,000 on eBay but those from Friday’s event were being listed for as little as 99p last night. The bags contain a chocolate coin, a can of spring water, a fridge magnet, a waterproof poncho, chocolate- chip shortbread and a marriage order of service.

The news is generally stressful and depressing right now, but today there’s a royal wedding happening: Princess Eugenie, Prince William and Prince Harry’s 28-year-old cousin and the ninth in line to the British throne, just married Jack Brooksbank at Windsor Castle’s St. George’s Chapel. Royal weddings are certainly not free of complicated politics, but they’re also fun to ogle. In typical fashion, today’s wedding featured a detailed and very large gown, some jaw-dropping diamonds, and a ton of British celebrities wearing over-the-top hats.

Who was there? What did they wear? Let’s dive in!

Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos, the designers behind the British brand Peter Pilotto. Though the label is known for its vivid prints, Princess Eugenie went for a traditional white gown with a full skirt, long sleeves, and a neckline that folded over the shoulders to create a low back.

Classic as the dress is, there are some interesting design details here. The first is that revealing back, which, with Princess Eugenie’s updo, highlighted the long scar running down her spine. That was intentional, according to the Kensington Palace website: “The low back feature on the dress was at the specific request of Princess Eugenie who had surgery aged 12 to correct scoliosis.”

Though they were working in white, Pilotto and de Vos still put their talent for prints to use. Woven into the dress’s fabric are a variety of symbolic plant motifs. There’s thistle for Balmoral Castle in Scotland, one of the royal family’s homes; a shamrock for the Ferguson family’s Irish roots; the York rose; and ivy, “representing the couple’s home.”

This feature recalls Meghan Markle’s wedding look. When Markle married Prince Harry in May 2018, the design of her veil featured flora from all 53 Commonwealth countries, along with wintersweet for Kensington Palace and California poppies for her home state.

Like Markle, Princess Eugenie styled her wedding dress with a blingy heirloom on loan from the queen: the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara, which was crafted in 1919. We’re talking diamond pavé set in platinum, plus six emeralds, all constructed in the style of the Russian Imperial Court.

As expected, the Duchesses of Cambridge and Sussex did not overshadow the bride. Kate Middleton wore a raspberry-hued Alexander McQueen dress to Princess Eugenie’s wedding, and Meghan Markle wore a streamlined navy Givenchy coat dress.

Each woman has come to be associated with the brand she wore: Middleton chose McQueen for her own wedding in 2011 and wore a (repeat) McQueen outfit for Markle’s nuptials. Meanwhile, Markle selected custom Givenchy for her wedding ceremony in May and has made multiple public appearances in the French brand, currently helmed by the British designer Clare Waight Keller.

In addition to the usual royal suspects, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s wedding brought out a swarm of celebrities. From the entertainment world, there were faces like Liv Tyler, who, according to Australia’s Nine Network celebrity site, “may run in similar circles as the royals”; Demi Moore, “a longtime friend of Eugenie’s parents,” according to Us; James Blunt, who served in the army with Prince Harry; and Ellie Goulding, who performed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding.

Demi Moore also wore Stella McCartney. Matt Crossick/Getty Images Singer Ellie Goulding was one of many wearing pale blue at the wedding. Matt Crossick/Getty Images

The British fashion contingent was out in full force, too. Naomi Campbell wore a sculptural fascinator, black leather gloves, and a feathered Ralph & Russo dress, while Kate Moss and her daughter Lila (newly a model herself) wore matching veils.

Two of Prince Harry’s exes, Cressida Bonas (in a blue dress) and Chelsy Davy (going for broke in a pale blue jumpsuit, newsboy cap, and furry clutch), turned up to the event, too.

Perhaps the best-dressed person of the day, however, was the British model and actress Cara Delevingne, who wore an impeccably tailored Armani tuxedo and a Chanel top hat. She also accessorized with a toothpick dangling from her mouth.

A tough call. Either Poppy Delevingne, who wore a tall, fluffy fascinator that made her look a bit like a high-fashion peacock, or the mother of the bride, Sarah Ferguson, whose razor-sharp hat looked like it could take out an eye.

What a great day for British industry, especially the hat industry. British elegance and tradition are all wrapped up on one moment when a woman steps out to a formal afternoon event in Britain. There is always a backstory that speaks, without words in the wearing of a hat in British society. I am going to attempt to interpret it so bear with me.

Starting with the hats that were barely hats, Carry Mulligan, wore a feathered headband in the style of “swan lake” pinned to the back of her head, a nice touch. Fergie, a surprise guest, showed up in a very strong hat statement, 3/4 style hat that said “I’m still here, people” style while Oprah wore her luxe “Sunday-go-to-Meeting” hat. The hat worn by the Lady Spencer, literally made her a foot taller, in a rather imposing deep purple color. This was a gentle reminder of who was who, at this wedding. The Duchess of Cambridge wore an elegant side-sweeping number that completed her outfit, as did her mother whose hat was a perfect match to her ensemble. They have entered and conquered the “Firm” in-house wardrobe style without a hitch. The newbies and oldies were certainly vying for attention as the “game of hats” continued for this royal event. Some of the hats were all out “attention grabbers” such as Prianka Chopra who was all in for some press attention with this one that was more drama than substance. I give that hat on a scale of a 1 to 10, about a “6” for attitude. All the hats celebrated decorations like veiling, flowers, “fripperies and foibles”to add that final witty touch to a dress. At this wedding, it is very clear who is “in and who is out” (just like America’s favorite fashion runway show) who is Brit, and Who isn’t. The hat, my dear, separates the fashion classes, most notably, “Best in Show” Amal Clooney’s hat which was a towering style success in its blending with the outfit she wore, designed by Stella McCartney.

A few sad notes; the “Beatrice and Eugenie” sisters (obviously soundly reprimanded for their previous “attention grabbers”) simply appeared in nothing more than headband and pillbox, the latter like a bad costume for an airplane movie. Another sad moment, was Victoria Beckham, who appeared to be arriving for a memorial service rather than a wedding wearing dark navy outfit with a hat that had little character or style. Happily, her husband David Beckham was cheerful, greeting fans as he entered the church. But the day, and this unique moment in history when the hat, and the bride, were the stars of the show.

Fast and Fascinator Furious: The Royal Wedding Hats What a great day for British industry, especially the hat industry. British elegance and tradition are all wrapped up on one moment when a woman steps out to a formal afternoon event in Britain.

Royal Wedding Fashion| In the News

The world watched as Prince Harry married Meghan Markle yesterday in celebration of love. While many people focused on the music, guest list and the wedding dress, I was focused on the great weddings fashion taking place as the guests walked in. It was a great day for modest fashion and I was excited to see the parade of fascinators that topped off the great parade of pomp and circumstance. Let's dig into the top picks. 

  What I loved most was that the conservative dress code never stopped the great style or creativity of what people chose to wear. This isn't your typical red carpet fare. showing skin is out and so are knees. They still delivered. Amahl Clooney was radiant in a canary yellow ensemble. She does simple very well with an A-Line cut and adds a flair with a simple train and veil. Expert tailoring made the difference. David Beckham maintained his sleek style with a very well tailored 3 piece suit, tails included. "Suits" co-star Gone Torres opted for an detailed floral number that complimented her slimmer figure. Her detail at the waist treated enough differentiation to stop the dress from looking boxy. 

The Mother of the Bride was radiant in a pale green number that packed an understated punch. I liked that she opted for 2 piece fit with a round hat that accented her loss. If you opt for a tee piece, take a note: Make sure that your dress is markedly shorter than the jacket. It will help elongate your silhouette and stop coordinates from looking too cheesy by being matchy matchy.

  Serena WIlliams gave yall so many tips to copy, at this point, save her look into your phone right now.lol. Her look masters ruching completely. I hate most ruching because it isn't well placed. Serenas is expertly placed. Combined with the neck line, her ruching softened her strong shoulders and complimented her curvy figure at the waist. It allowed balanced to her fuller hips and bust.  Her color choice is also amazing. Brown skinned gems know that pale tones pop next to ebony hues. Even her hem length was spot on. Right under the knees works for virtually all tastes, heights and styles. Oprah represented for the full hourglass gals very well. She maintained her naturally defined waist with a simple stitched waist accent and kept it simple with tiered fabric. This allowed balance to her fuller bust so the look was not overwhelmed. Yet another pale pink against beautiful brown skin. 

Also notice Oprah's neckline was a little deeper. A higher neckline on a full bust would knock off the natural proportion of an hourglass figure. Princess Beatrice shined in a beaded blue ensemble that was not only well made, but well styled. When wearing an embellished dress, keep the accessories simple. Beatrice also got the sleeves right. If you like covered arms but don't like heavy fabric, go sheer; it's the best of both worlds. Karen Spencer wowed in a purple ensemble by adding layers and flair up top without overwhelming her body. She balanced an ornate headpiece with a simple short cape. A long cape would have been a little too much. 

Let's talk Priyanka. Sis said we will get a cute and covered slay and that we did. There is so much I could say, but I will say it like this-- always be aware of proportion and cut. They will create and save a look every time. What Priyanka does so well is allow good tailoring and construction elevate simple silhouettes.

The Best Dressed Guests At the Royal Wedding -- and All Their Hats!

On Saturday, Hollywood A-listers and royals united at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

While all eyes were on the bride, who stunned in a gown by Givenchy, when she walked down the aisle, a few of the guests made their presence known with their own outstanding looks -- and even more outstanding fascinator hats.

 From Amal Clooney to Lady Kitty Spencer, these are the best dressed of the day:

Oprah stunned in a lace-trimmed, blush, double tiered Stella McCartney dress made of sustainable viscose. An appropriately over-the-top wide-brimmed Philip Treacy hat with matching flourishes sat atop her head. The 64-year-old TV personality accessorized with mary jane style mules and a small, structured, top handle Gabriela Hearst handbag. Oprah revealed in an Instagram post that her dress was made overnight, but she has had the hat in her closet since 2005.
