Peter Phillips Wedding

[StrawberryWasp]

Hello I thought I'd start a thread where we can build up the excitement for tomorrow 😂

I'm enjoying the English Country/ family vibe I'm getting from the setting and wedding prep.

Fox Gloves in the flowers 💕

I'm looking forward to seeing Harriet's dress, she's a very attractive women, but the flowers are always of special interst to me.

Who do we think will be bridesmaids? Peters P's and Harriet's daughters presumably? Zara's kids?

I read that Philip and Zara have a half sister who will be attending, I didn't kow about her!

I also read that Peters first wedding to Autumn was sold to Hello and criticised for this. Very tacky. It looks like he's learned and is not cashing in this time, so hopefully we'll get a good look at evryone.

It was a jaunty choice but at a minimum she could have had skipped the black shoes and (terrible) bag.

Catherine looked lovely, great hat.

I think the royal family try to be a bit more modern about second marriages now, Peter isn't a working royal so no rules for him to follow as such or any expectations as too where his bride should buy her dress. If its just tradition that would stop her wearing the dress she wants then I think that's ok for her to ignore that tradition.

a mangy yellow pashmina

What was "mangy" about the pashmina?
You may not like them but that makes it sound as though it was dirty or threadbare which it wasn't.
It was just a pashmina.
(Autocorrect hates pashminas too it seems - keeps changing it to "washing"!)

I think a cathedral veil is too much for a second wedding.

I loved Zara's dress but can not get on board with the headband.

I do wonder if the bag Princess Anne was going to use was unsuitable for the weather- so she chose function over form.

This goes well beyond simply commenting on fashion.
Why would you presume to know what her son is thinking?

Maybe it was dirty after all

It was probably the rain causing it - the tassels on the pashmina looked mangy to me.

Maybe a bit of hyperbole on my part! I didn’t mind the pashmina too much, at least it was in the yellow colour palate

Although the most shocking thing was Eugenie's shows. I still don't understand how she could walk in them whilst so pregnant and I'm very impressed.

I don't get the argument that Anne should look co-ordinated/pulled together or that she should be interested in fashion/beauty. That not being interested and recycling a hat from Zara's christening somehow makes her lesser. She is clearly not interested in any of that and is much more comfortable with her horses, in jeans and wellies. Her family know that and love her, they would not have expected her to be clad head to toe in something very expensive and from a designer's most recent collection because that is not her thing.

And really, her son and closest relatives are all that really matters.

I agree on the York sisters - I quite often do like what they wear.

Beatrice's dress yesterday was great. Both of them had gorgeous wedding dresses (personally thought, other than Camilla's), the best royal wedding dresses of their generation

I will never understand Kate's choice of pale pastel type outfits. I get that she deliberately wants to play it safe etc but yesterday's dress was dull enough without the boring colour choice. Same dress in a jewel tone would have looked so much better - when she wears a stronger colour like teal or forest green she looks great.

I hope I am expressing myself properly because I really like Princess Anne and of course she doesn’t have to care about fashion.

But she didn’t look smart yesterday for a big event. She has plenty of help so it seems a shame

I love that she recycled the hat! She rewears a lot and that is brilliant. I am not one for fast fashion or over- consumption at all

Anne had probably rubbed down a sweaty steed after a morning ride with her pash before heading off to the wedding 🙄

I thought she looked great. She always does. Svelte, smart and appropriate, just as she usually does.

But objectively she didn’t look smart yesterday. Her accessories were a total jumble of colours and styles

But that clearly doesn't matter to her, and doesn't matter to her nearest and dearest.

I agree with you. What I saw was a woman who looked relaxed and happy and wearing a lovely colour which suited her. I think she’d be astounded at the idea her brolly should have coordinated with her outfit, rather than serve it’s function of keeping the rain off from car to church door.

I imagine the pashmina was added last minute because churches are cold. Probably a last minute change from a lighter colour shoe considering the weather.

How do you know what her nearest and dearest thought?

"Whatever happened to an inch or two below the knee?"

I think that has recently been seen as a bit out of fashion and frumpy. Though no doubt it will come in again.

A previous poster shared photos of Anne looking elegant and pulled together at weddings. She can and has looked smart before

All this thread shows is that there is a huge range of opinion.

One woman's 'looks great' is another's 'looks dowdy and letting the side down'.

She didn't look svelte. You couldn't see her figure because she wore a full skirt, a long jacket and a pashmina. She did not look 'smart' by most people's standards for a society wedding.

Smart would be a fitted suit, a fitted coat dress, a fitted dress and short jacket, accessories that toned with the outfit,

The brolly wouldn’t matter so much if we weren’t already dealing with black shoes and navy handbag with yellow dress 🤣

Fair enough but it’s an upper class wedding, they ALL have the resources to dress like Isabelle de la Bryuere who looked elegant and not too flashy. It’s like they choose not to.
