Royal Style: tiaras diamonds and bling, peplums and ruching not our thing

Hello! New thread! Link to follow...

Yes I expect she’s able to laugh at it.

"....I expect she's able to laugh at it"

🤔considering she rarely cracks a smile.

She actually laughs a lot in person and apparently has a great sense of humour and takes the piss out of herself (it comes up again and again in ‘which celebrities have you met/worked with and what are they like’ discussions). She just doesn’t like how she looks when she smiles so doesn’t smile for photos/in public.

There was a where she completely took the piss out of her image so she's not averse to self-deprecation!

Tenuous link - I always think Victoria Beckham must absolutely cringe herself inside out anytime she looks at her and David’s wedding photos...

I was just thinking this 😆

The matching purple outfits!! Brooklyn too! 😆😆

I bet they had a great time planning it and literally getting to do/have whatever they wanted on the day, though, and I’m sure it was a very happy day. But still...

Camilla yesterday. I like her horseshoe brooch for the occasion.

The guests seem to be in evening wear. Shame about the step mum's dress, someone should have told her.
Venus and Serena Williams are a surprise, but a lot of these people are inter connected with business.

I love the colour of her coat, and that hat looks so cosy I covet it.

I think the Beckham wedding was early evening there, so straight into dinner/party in evening dress. I liked Victoria's dress, though I've only seen one photo of her, looks to be a beautiful flowing design and fabric.

Yes I like it too. Silver, apparently.

Very often weddings in the US are in the early evening followed by the reception, with everyone in evening dress. In fact, the only reason I still have evening dresses is to wear to weddings. I haven't been to a daytime wedding in years.

I'd almost forgotten about the wedding thrones! 😂

Her bodice was very fashion forward at the time and started the craze for strapless wedding dresses iirc

Her wedding dress was nice enough. The crown...wasn’t keen (which is ironic I know).

The thrones and the purple - I believe David had a purple top hat as well, and the general styling of it...I’d be pretty embarrassed.

Morning all, here's a pic of the dress

The dress and veil are very elegant.
On the other thread there's a picture of the shoes, which I think are a bit ugly.
There's a discussion about the style of the party and guests so I'll link

Blimey I feel old, Brooklyn Beckham is getting married - www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/4522566-blimey-i-feel-old-brooklyn-beckham-is-getting-married
This thread is discussing the style.
Some comments are very robust!

I like the dress and the veil but they don't seem to go together. The shoes are awful.

One of the articles says that the first dance was to Fools Rush In. Bit on the nose perhaps.

I agree that the shoes are awful. The flower girls looked sweet, and surprisingly non-fussy for the type of wedding.

Oh, I take that back, they've been together longer than I'd realised.

I agree, the dress is nice. But what’s with the shoes? They just don’t go with the dress. 🙈

I have to say the new Mrs Beckham's dress is surprisingly tasteful. I don't care for the lace gloves or the clodhoppers but the dress itself is very simple and classic. She's apparently in her late 20s but has that look of a woman who started fiddling with her face at a young age and now could be anything from 25 to 45!

Some of my comments were rather robust but I kept them in my head as our threads aren't mean (intentionally, at least!)
