British supermodel Kate Moss wed rocker fiancé (now husband) Jamie Hince on Friday 1 July in a small country church in Southrop, Cotswolds. The bride was accompanied by no less than 15 bridesmaids, including her eight year old daughter Lila Grace, who were all dressed in ivory. As previously reported, Kate wore a wedding dress designed by her close friend John Galliano. The ivory dress was covered in rhinestones – giving a nod to the roaring twenties and fitting perfectly with her engagement ring. Kate also wore a veil to cover her blonde locks.

The groom was dressed in a light blue suit that fit the colour scheme perfectly and arrived to the ceremony with his ‘best man’, bandmate Alison Mosshart. Being the rocker he is, Jamie wore sunglasses for the wedding photos after the ceremony.
Following the nuptials, the couple held a three-day reception – or a ‘wedding festival’ – at the fashion queen’s nearby home where the many celeb guests, including Sadie Frost, Jade Jagger and Naomi Campbell, could enjoy a party to almost end parties. The shindig is said to have cost £500,000 and was held in six different marquees that were individually themed.
During the reception the bride and groom also had their marriage blessed by monks, in an intimate spiritual blessing ceremony as a good luck charm for their days as husband and wife.
The newlyweds are said to be honeymooning in the Mediterranean.

Starting out in Hong Kong in 1991, Lusan Mandongus has been creating gorgeous bridal gowns for 20 years, catering specially for women with an appreciation for high level style and couture-like details. The label is reputed for its designs that reflect the romantic and feminine spirit of the bride, and the 2012 wedding dress collection was no exception.
With a nod to the twenties, stunning a-line cut dresses with intricate lace appliqué and bead embellishment. We also liked the long white silk gloves and the choker necklaces made with silk ribbons and tulle.

When we came across this collection by Spanish designer Yolan Cris we felt it would be wrong not to share it with our wonderful Bridalwave readers. Yolan Cris bridal designs for 2011 are inspired by the retro trend and the Revival Vintage collection draws on an era of innate elegance that managed to coin a timeless style, where the genius of mind and demeanour were really important: The Roaring 20’s.
Vintage inspired dresses are a very popular choice for modern brides and as recent celebrity weddings have shown many want to take a trip to the bygone eras for their special day. Recently wed Lily Allen (now Mrs Cooper) wore a vintage inspired Delphine Manivet gown last weekend fashion queen Kate Moss is reported to be thinking about a roaring 1920’s theme for her wedding to The Kills rocker Jamie Hince on July 1. Kate is known for her love for Art Deco and her engagement ring is a copy of that of her idol and twenties icon Zelda Fitzgerald – wife of novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Were you as baffled as us when you saw the images of Lily Allen getting married in a wedding dress by French designer Delphine Manive? We thought it was meant to be Karl Lagerfeld!
As it turns out Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld DID make a bridal gown for Lily ahead of her wedding to Sam Cooper, which the newlywed mummy to be wore to the reception. Lily confirmed it via Twitter earlier today and an image of the sketch has been uploaded to Chanel.com.
Guess Lily wanted to keep the beautiful Chanel creation hidden from the world for a bit longer so that her nearest and dearest could see it before everyone else.

Before we cause heartbreak among many of the die-heard Twilight fans out there, we’d just like to say that Robert Pattinson – who is in a relationship with his co-star Kristen Stewart – is set to get married in the penultimate film of the Twilight saga to Bella Swan (Kristen’s character) who is wearing a Carolina Herrera bridal gown – he is not getting married in real life… yet at least.
But when the time is right, the 25-year-old Brit actor is certain that he wouldn’t want to get married in front of hundreds of celebrities and would ideally just have a small, intimate ceremony with close family and friends.
Robert told Heat Magazine: “I imagine it to be pretty simple. It’s not exactly my style to fly in 500 different celebrities from around the world.
“My best friends now are the same best friends I had before everything got a little crazy. I would want it to just be family and close friends, not somebody I’ve said hello to once at an awards ceremony.”
The actor did however recently speak about his desire to settle down and start a family, so best watch this space. With the amount of celebrity couples getting engaged recently we wouldn’t be surprised if the Twilight saga gets another, real-life, instalment.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 is out in UK cinemas in November 2011.

Twilight fans can stop guessing who will design the wedding dress of Bella Swan, the creators of the vampire saga Summit Entertainment have confirmed via Twitter that Carolina Herrera is the woman behind the gown.
We have to wait a few more weeks to see Bella’s dress, but it will perhaps draw inspiration from Carolina Herrera’s 2012 spring collection which offers high necklines and long sleeves – Kate Middleton much?
The collection also features lots of romantic embroidered Chantilly lace, and a couple of dramatic full skirts as well.

We’ve previously written about The Vintage Wedding Dress Company and its stunning Decades of Lace collection. It was therefore great to be able to have a sneak-peak at its 2012 collection at the White Gallery last month. We’ve finally got good images to share with our lovely readers.
From what we saw the 2012 collection is well worth the wait; a stunning display of lace and silk cascaded down the catwalk, bringing the stage back in time to the eras gone by. Our favourite is the lovely dress you can see below which has a broad silk ribbon to nip in the waist and a plunging v-neckline, combined with a dainty veil as the cherry on top. Stunning!

Elizabeth Stuart is a new designer who steps outside of the box of ordinary bridal designs presenting a creative vision where future meets fairytale and falls in love.
In her designs Elizabeth focuses on the beauty of the female body, with necklines that emphasise the beauty of a woman’s neck and shoulders, as well as soft feminine bodices that capture the curves of her bust and back. Many of the dresses feature luxurious skirts that have been made with careful consideration of every fold and detail to flow flatteringly from a woman’s hips while accentuating her waist.
From the 2012 collection we particularly like the Peplum wrap which lets you create a layered effect in the simplest way – it’s like having two dresses! Another find is the two-piece Ambrosia which is made up of a skirt and top, so once you’ve become a Mrs you can keep the top for any girly nights out.
