How Harriet Sperling followed in Kate Middleton’s footeps at her wedding
Yesterday saw Harriet’s dress get a lot of coverage.
The 45-year-old mum-of-one looked stunning in an elegant white gown during yesterday’s ceremony.
The sweeping dress featured details of wildflowers blooming, a delicate lace overjacket fitted above the waist, and a three-meter-long train – the result of months of planning and handiwork.
The dress was the work of New Zealand-born designer Emilia Wickstead, who is a firm favourite of the royal family.
Kate Middleton, in particular, has worn her designs on several occasions over the years.
Just last year, the Princess of Wales, 44, wore a royal-purple coat dress by the designer to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day in London.
In fact, the royal and the designer have collaborated so many times that Wickstead has named one of her dresses, The Kate Dress, in tribute to the future queen.

Royal fans gush over Harriet’s dress
Royal fans were loving Harriet’s dress yesterday, with many taking to social media to gush over it.
“She looks so pretty,” one said. “Her dress is gorg.”
“Her dress is lovely,” another wrote.
“That dress is a classic,” a third gushed.
“Beautiful bride in a lovely dress and gorgeous veil,” another said.
“Her dress is so amazing! Love a royal wedding!” a fifth wrote.
Harriet’s subtle tribute
Alongside her stunning gown, Harriet also subtly paid tribute to none other than Queen Elizabeth with one of her most important accessories, her floral bouquet.
Harriet carried a bouquet of sweet peas, myrtle, and lily of the valley created by Millie Richardson, as she wed Queen Elizabeth’s grandson Peter Phillips on Saturday.
In a statement reportedly shared with InStyle, a spokesperson for the couple explained that myrtle is both a family tradition for Sperling and the royal family alike.

It holds the meaning of “love, beauty, and peace,” they explained.
Florist Millie Richardson told The Telegraph that Harriet opted for lily of the valley, which is a favourite of the late Queen Elizabeth’s.
The lilies were paired with cream sweet peas, astilbe, and jasmine.
Richardson described it as a “bowl of cream” bouquet.
