A PRETTY WEDDING

Oznell — Sun, 09 Jun 2024 23:19:36 GMT

The 33 year old English Duke of Westminster, Hugh Grosvenor, has married 31 year old Olivia Henson at Chester Cathedral.

It was sunny and breezy, with veils and trains flying--

The Duke and Duchess of Westminster. I like her feminine, demure gown. She's wearing the family's laurel leaf tiara, from 1906.

Placing the Duke: He's Charles' godson, and he himself is godfather to Harry's little Prince Archie, and to William's Prince George.

The bride with her Dad--

The lace at collar and sleeve is so ethereal.

I always love to see people's engagement rings, but couldn't find a shot of it!

Prince William was an usher, looking dapper. Of course, his wife was absent, continuing to recover from her illness.

Guests, cutting up and milling around.

This olive outfit would not be my first choice for Princess Eugenie at the wedding. To me, it looks more autumnal, and I don't like the sleeves' fit. I often feel that she and her sister are not well-served by their clothing, although each is attractive.

I liked this summery dress, though.

And this cluster of ladies, especially the hot pink shoes!

And the groom's mother looked super!

The couple's engagement photo. He keeps reminding me of someone-- Hugh Grant?

I love Chester Cathedral.

There's something about these old, sandstone churches...

Thank you for the lovely pictures @Oznell

What a nice looking couple. I love the tiara, the veil and the stunningly understated bouquet.

Hot pink and navy was a beautiful look for several of the attendees.

The church was magnificent.

I wish them many happy years together.

British society weddings are so beautiful. Princess Beatrice has really stepped up her fashion game since her marriage but Princess Eugenia still struggles.

They look like brother and sister. Handsome couple.

Are black shoes with a white wedding gown a new fashion?

The shoes photographed black but are actually blue. You know, something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue!

Beautiful photos.
I believe the Bridal couple and their parents are the best dressed of all the guests.

Princess Eugenie's dress does not fit her, it's very I'll fitted and the color on her, no. I've seen her look lovely and don't understand why she chose this dress.

Blue velvet. Here's a couple photos from Silvia Lago Barcelona website - style is Valentina 8 Riveria velvet @ $435. Still can't decide if I like that heel with a wedding dress, or not. Hopefully they were comfy!

Beautiful bride and handsome groom. I a little old fashion and I still like it when a bride wears a veil and especially over her face. I loved her dress and veil.

The bride looks beautiful and the groom very handsome. It appears everyone was enjoying the happy occasion. May the couple have many years of bliss ahead and the strength and love to overcome any obstacles they may face.

The groom does remind me of actor Hugh Grant. Beautiful bride and handsome groom, a very nice looking couple. Love that tiara from 1906!

I do not like Princess Eugenie's outift. The color and fit are not flattering.

Eugenie's dress makes her look much older.

@Nancy Drew I like Princess Eugenie but she needs a better stylilst. That color does nothing for her.

Thank you @Oznell for the pictures. Was hoping I'd see some posted. Such a beautiful couple. Love all the pics and have to agree with you re Eugnie's choice of a dress. Not what I would wear to a wedding even in the Autumn months. Also agree that she and her sister don't always pick out clothing styles that suit them very well.

@happilyretiredgirl The part that goes over the face is called a blusher.

@Daisy Sunflower Princess Eugenie needs a better stylist. That is a bad color for her.

Thanks for posting the pictures @Oznell! What a beautiful couple!

I agree with you about Princess Eugenie. She is so pretty, but her choice of fashion for this wedding were off IMO. She would have looked so much prettier in a lighter, summery color.

The Mother of the Groom looked spectacular!

Hugh had a hard choice to make, since he's close to both William and Harry, and godfather to both of their sons. It's so sad things have reached the point that only one could attend his wedding. I can picture them as teenagers and young men running around together with their other friends!

You can tell Hugh is related to the royal family. Actually the first time I saw his picture I thought he resembled Charles, Earl Spencer, Princess Diana's brother.
