Princess Eugeniehad not just one, but two dream dresses on herroyal wedding day.
After tying the knot in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on Friday in acustom long-sleeved, open-back ivory gownfrom the British-based design house Peter Pilotto, Eugenie changed into a gorgeous blush silk gown from American designer Zac Posen for her private evening reception at Royal Lodge.
Eugenie’s groom, Jack Brooksbank, changed out of his day suit and into a sleek black tux for the evening festivities.
The color reflects the blush of an English rose, and Posen says he took inspiration from the White Rose of York. In fact, a White Rose of York is subtlety embroidered on both the shoulder and back of the dress, which hold the cape detail together.
The plissé silk fabric, which is cut into signature drapes at the bottom of the gown, comes from the British Mill, Biddle Sawyer Silk.
