Photos: Arabella Musgrave and George Galliers-Pratt s Winter Wedding in London
Photographed by George Powell/Written Light, UK1/25I have worked at Gucci for four years now. Years earlier, I saw a deep fuchsia runway version of this dress from one of Frida Giannini’s first-ever collections for the house, and I thought the silhouette would make for a really beautiful wedding dress. I couldn’t believe it when Gucci agreed to re-create it specifically for me. We made only small modifications to the original design, like adding lace to the collar and using a belt rather than a sash around the waist. I didn’t try on any other wedding dresses—this was the only one I ever wanted to wear.
Photographed by George Powell/Written Light, UK2/25I always wanted a very small bouquet, and pale pink roses are my favorite flowers. My veil had a beautiful Italian lace trim to it. I think it’s the first wedding veil Gucci ever made.

Photographed by George Powell/Written Light, UK4/25I did many trials with my amazing hairdresser Adrianne Jones. In the end, we decided on a simple low bun with a center part, as it worked best with the neckline of the dress. Here she is putting in some Art Deco diamond-star Jessica McCormack hair clips which went perfectly with the earrings, a wedding gift from my parents-in-law.
