From Sienna to the Royals, You Have to See Ellie Goulding's Wedding Guests
Congratulations, Ellie Goulding and Caspar Jopling! This weekend saw the star singer and art dealer tie the knot in York in a ceremony that could rival even the most regal of big days when it came to the high-profile, high-society and highly stylish guests in attendance, but we'll get to those other well-dressed ladies in a second.
Let's take a moment to appreciate just how darling Goulding's wedding gown was: With its pie-crust collar, puffed sleeves and delicate pearlescent daisy-and-star beaded embroidery, this was a truly demure, folksy and very subtle option for the bride. It felt a little bit bohemian and as such also entirely comfortable and easy to have fun in for a day that was surely full of much merriment—many brides are learning that being trussed up in corsetry and multiple layers just won't equate to a jolly good time. This was a bespoke piece from French brand Chloé, and she decided to wear it with a simple tulle veil, pearl-drop earrings and her hair gently teased up and away from her face with two wavy strands to frame her feature—a head-to-toe formula that will undoubtedly inspire other minimalistic brides-to-be for next year.
