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.

Just looked back at a photo of Princess Anne and I too think the navy gloves, shoes and bag looked a bit odd especially for a spring/summer wedding.
I get that she's not interested in clothes and admire that she doesn't feel pushed into fashionable things that she may not be comfortable in, but the navy was an odd and (given the shoes, bag, gloves and even umbrella all matched) a very deliberate choice.
She could have picked another colour from her skirt if she didn't want to be too yellow.
Maybe the rain caught everyone by surprise and she only had a navy umbrella so tried to make it fit in more by altering some accessories 🤔

Her umbrella was olive.

Anyway here’s Anne rocking uniform swords and umbrellas. She was born to wear uniform.

Fair enough.
I didn't look hard enough.
And just noticed someone in another post said her shoes were black.
Ah well.

I liked the olive umbrella. Much nicer than the standard black (or clear plastic). Glad they rustled up a white one for bride and groom.

Apparently they are friends in the real life and that’s how the parents met

Absolutely love everything about that clip - what a woman!
Passing over the umbrella was sheer class.

Yes! She looks fantastic in that uniform

I will cry but fat ugly tears when this day comes and I have my legs back on show. Even at my skinniest my legs are like tree trunks.

Looking at this article

She must have a massive wardrobe, or rooms to keep it all in. She's not just recycling outfits from a couple of years ago, but from decades ago. I wonder if it's all catalogued and sorted into colours or categories. Spreadsheet maybe?

yeah that shows.
maybe “other demographic” should learn that one can purchase something which is not polyester and look like Isabelle de la Bruyere rather than a frumpy old women. There is a lot of room between these awful outfits and the Kardashians

She looked a bit glam for a country wedding.

I'm thinking the skirt is actually a dress and and the jacket & pashmina were because of the weather which would be removed at the reception. I don't like navy at all but I guess there meant to be contrasting to the yellow.

They are not from different social backgrounds. They met through their children as they are friends. She already was at that school. Are you for real?
he would never marry someone from a different social background.

@LaMarschallin I think she likes navy and yellow as a traditional colour blend - she's worn it alot. I guess she thought everything goes with her bright dress.
I like the dress from the bit I saw peaking out too.
I think it's good she's not gone down the set piece look myself.

She looked elegant and a “bit glam” only because English country wedding style means something awful and frumpy as we can see

We’ll have to disagree.

Do you seriously think that anything other than these outfits is “like going clubbing”? Are British people so devoid of any style that you truly see just these two options?

I like navy and yellow together myself; just wasn't keen on all the extra colours from her flowery skirt/dress and I thought the navy (particularly the leather gloves) was a bit heavy for the time of year. Although dressing against the season can be a thing.
She probably did shed the pashmina and jacket once inside or at the reception and maybe the navy/black shoes are her comfiest ones for dancing 💃

So what would you wear to a country wedding?

The wonderful thing about being a woman in your 70s is you really don't give a crap about other people's views on what you wear. It's great. One of the positives about aging.

I am convinced that Isabelle de la Bruyere’s outfit looked as good as if did because she has that “clothes horse” physique. Super slim and great posture. If I wore that I’d look like I’d come out in my dressing gown.

She was best in show for me.

In only slightly related news I was reading on Threads about an Italian wedding this weekend where the bride posted INCREDIBLY detailed rules about what to where. Down to shoes / bags. And had someone on the door to police it ….

Navy and yellow together great - I love that as combination.

It is when the black shoes entered the fray that things went wrong 🤣

Anne looks sensational in that uniform photo because everything matches. The photos of her in the red coat show her with black accessories that match and look good.

She doesn’t have to care about any of this but she has a lot of help. She looked a jumble yesterday

Oh well done! Thank you.

I'm similar age to Anne. I've got arthritis in my hands and people probably think I wear heavier gloves than I need but hands getting cold, or even worse wet and cold, means lots of pain.
