Lady Amelia Spencer (Princess Diana’s niece) married Greg Mallett in March 2023 and her wedding dress was a marvel of bespoke craftsmanship, designed by Versace. The gown, taking two and a half months to create, was made from custom silk rebrodé lace, adorned with Swarovski crystals, and featured a hand-embroidered neckline, structured shoulders, and intricate floral patterns throughout its design, culminating in a two-and-a-half-meter train.
Complementing the gown was a five-meter-long veil crafted from fine silk tulle, alongside elegant Jimmy Choo shoes, together embodying a modern fairy tale brought to life. While royalty usually wear long sleeves on their wedding day, long sleeves certainly do not have to mean matronly.
