Simply Royal: Zara Phillips ties the royal knot- were our dress predictions correct?

Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall tied the knot this weekend at Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh in a ceremony that lasted 45 minutes but what did the bride wear you ask?!

She’s one of the more unconventional Royals, but Zara Phillips looked very much the traditional bride on Saterday. Her wedding gown was made from ivory duchess silk and is thought to be made by couturier Stewart Parvin as revealed to you by the one and only Simply Bows and Chair Covers in last weeks blog.

Zara also wore a cathedral length veil and Princess Anne had also loaned her a Greek Key tiara to wear to finish off her fairytale look.

The couple left the church in a Bentley and took a 400-yard journey to Holyrood House for the reception. The 24 hr party has no doubt left the whole wedding party a little fragile this Monday morning but we are delighted the royals once again show the world how to throw a good wedding!

Check out the bride and groom below in this video produced by ITV news.

Simply Royal Countdown: Zara Phillips' wedding is approaching

By next week  the second Royal wedding of the year will all be over in the blink of an eye and the bunting will be banished to the lofts of England. But what can we expect from Zara's wedding to fiancee Mike's wedding?

Chic and Unique? Royal and Regal? Small and Intimate? Brash and Bold? You tell us what you think!

It has been revealed that Zara has surprised the fashion world by choosing a wedding dress designed by her grandmother the Queen's favourite couturier. Designer Stewart Parvin has designed Zara's dress which holds the key to the theme and style of this weekends upcoming nuptuals. The Queen is regularly seen dressing in Parvins designs and holds him in high esteem.

Zara has revealed that she does not want a high fashion dress like Kate Middelton's Sarah Burton design but Stewart is the youngest of the royal couturier's so it will be chic and modern.... Join us next week to see all the photo's of Zara and Mike's big day!
