The British brand, founded by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos in London in 2007, is known for it's textile design, paired with a modern feminine silhoette. Princess Eugenie met the two designers whilst co - hosting an event in support of women artists, and has been wearing designs by the relatively new design duo for several years. The three have worked closely together on the design of the dress, undertaking archive research into previous Royal Family dresses to create the perfect look.

(Image: PA) The Dress Eugenie's dress was developed by the design duo layer by layer, constructing it from the corset and the complex under skirt to the fitted bodice and full pleated skirt. The dress features a neckline that folds around the shoulders to a low back that drapes into a flowing full length train, framing her figure beatifully. It's been heavily noted that Eugenie deliberately chose a low back to show off her scar from a scoliosis surgery she had aged 12. Paying tribute to the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital that performed the surgery. Perhaps this was why Eugenie opted to go without a veil, breaking tradition to show off the stunning back of the dress, along with the surgery scar. (Image: AFP/Getty Images) The dress fabric was designed by Mr Pilotto and Mr De Vos at their East London studio, and it included a number of symbols and motifs that are meaningful to Princess Eugenie. (Image: PA) These include; a Thistle for Scotland in acknowledgement of the couples fondness for Balmoral (the Scottish holiday home belonging to the Royal Family), a Shamrock for Ireland as a nod to the Bride's Ferguson family, and the York Rose and ivy representing the couple's home (the Kensington Palace apartment known as the Ivy Cottage).

Made by Boucheron for Mrs Greville (the British society host who bequeathed all her jewels to Queen Elizabeth The Queen's Mother) in 1919, it's in the style of the 'kokoshnik' a traditional Russian headdress. Made up of rose cut diamonds pavé set in platinum with six emeralds on either side, the tiara is stunning enough to not need a veil, and perhaps another clue as to why Eugenie went without on her big day.

The Bride's Bouquet Eugenie's simple bouquet was created by floral designer Rob Van Helden's sister, Patrice Van Helden Oakes. The design consists of Lily of the Valley, Stephanotis pips, hints of baby blue thistles, white spray roses and trailing ivy. (Image: X80003) Sprigs of myrtle from Osbourne House (the royal residence on the Isle of White which was built for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as a summer house), are also included in the bouquet. It's a Royal tradition to carry Myrtle, first carried by Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, Princess Victoria, when she married in 1858. The Makeup (Image: Getty Images Europe) Eugenie's wedding day makeup was done by Bobbi Brown artist Hannah Martin, who opted for a bold brow, glowing skin and a subtle smoky eye. Complete with a pink/nude gloss, the Princess looks every inch the perfect bride. The Hair (Image: Getty Images) Princess Eugenie's hair was styled by Sonny-Jo Macfarlane, from Hari's . The London based salon, with four locations, have their own bridal concierge. Eugenie opted for a lose chignon, with tousled waves framing her face beautifully.<doc-sep>Princess Eugenie has made her first appearance on her wedding day.

Eugenie was already set on a wedding dress designer the moment she announced the wedding, which was in January. She “knew the designer, and the look, straight away,” she said in a previous interview. YouTube YouTube She met Piloto and De Vos, who founded Peter Piloto in 2007, while hosting an event featuring women artists, according to the Palace. Eugenie, who's donned looks by the label in the past, worked closely with the duo to design the dress, looking to previous dresses worn by members of the family as inspiration. The dress features a wide train, as the father of the bride previously revealed. It also has a V-neckline that folds around the shoulders and dips in the back, showing the scars from a surgery Eugenie had at age 12 for scoliosis. YouTube The dress was constructed layer by layer, according to the Palace, from the corset and underskirt to the fitted bodice and full pleated skirt. It's made of made of jacquard silk, cotton, and viscose, and the intricate weaving on the top layer was done in Como, Italy. Like Meghan's wedding day look, Eugenie's bridal ensemble includes a number of significant symbols. There's a Thistle for Scotland, in honor of the couple's love of Balmoral, Scotland; a shamrock for Ireland, in honor of the bride's maternal family, Ferguson; and the York Rose and ivy, in honor of the couple's home. YouTube And although she kept her lips sealed on who she picked to make the dress, she assured it was by a “British-based designer.” Today’s big reveal ends months of speculation on who Eugenie would wear when she walks down the aisle to marry Jack Brooksbank. Erdem began as a top contender behind the bridal look. It’s considered one of the princess’ go-to brands, as she’s worn its bold floral dresses for multiple past appearances. Eugenie, known for her quirk-inspired style and love of prints, even wore a knee-length cap-sleeve dress by the brand at her engagement photoshoot in January.

On Wednesday, Kate Middleton stunned in a tweed, off-the-shoulder frock by Erdem for her first official visit to the V&A museum as its royal patron. Vivienne Westwood was also considered a possibility, because the bride had worn the designer to Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding in 2011. The bright blue look was a fashion risk and statement-maker; making it a contender for her bridal look.

Slideshow ( 7 images ) The 28-year-old granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth walked down the aisle of Windsor Castle’s 15th Century St George’s Chapel in a fitted corset and pleated skirt with a long train designed by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos, who founded the label in 2007. “The dress features a neckline that folds around the shoulders to a low back that drapes into a flowing full length train,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement. “The low back feature on the dress was at the specific request of Princess Eugenie who had surgery aged 12 to correct scoliosis.” Eugenie, who has previously shared pictures of her X-rays, wanted to pay tribute to the staff at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital who treated her, as well as others suffering from the condition. “I think you can change the way beauty is, and you can show people your scars,” she told ITV’s “This Morning” program before the wedding. Eugenie, who announced her engagement in January, worked closely with Pilotto and De Vos, leafing through archives of frocks worn by British royals to pick a silhouette. Motifs meaningful to the couple were woven into a jacquard of silk, cotton and viscose blend, the palace said. The designs included the thistle and shamrock, the flowers of Scotland and Ireland, and the English rose. Eugenie borrowed the queen’s Greville Emerald Kokoshnik tiara, decorated with rose cut diamonds and emeralds and made by jewelers Boucheron in 1919 in the style worn in the Russian Imperial Court. She wore diamond and emerald drop earrings given to her by Brooksbank and satin peep-toe heels by Charlotte Olympia. Speculation over who would design the wedding dress had mounted over the last few weeks, with labels cited including Erdem and Ralph & Russo, which made a blue two-piece outfit for Eugenie’s sister and maid of honor Princess Beatrice. “As soon as we announced the wedding, I knew the designer, and the look, straight away,” Eugenie was quoted as saying. “I never thought I’d be the one who knew exactly what I like, but I’ve been pretty on top of it.” Outside the chapel, voiced their approval. “She looked beautiful. It was really stunning. It was very flattering,” said Sue Powry, 64, from the eastern English town of Ipswich. Joseph Afrane, a security officer from London, said: “The dress was fantastic ... It suited her.” Eugenie, who works in art and Brooksbank, who is European brand manager for Casamigos Tequila, a brand co-founded by Hollywood actor George Clooney, married at the same venue that her cousin Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose for their nuptials in May.<doc-sep>What does a princess wear to get married in this day and age? It's a question that's dominated the fashion conversation this year, first with the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in May, and now with the wedding of Princess Eugenie of York and Jack Brooksbank on Friday. Speculation about who would design Eugenie's dress- she'd confirmed only that it would be a British brand - focused on Stella McCartney (an animal rights ambassador to add to the plastic-free wedding's ethical credentials), Erdem, Vivienne Westwood... but after all that, Eugenie 'pulled a Meghan' and surprised the waiting fashion press by choosing a custom gown by Peter Pilotto, a British brand founded by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos in 2007. And if Meghan's choice - taking Audrey Hepburn as a reference point - was surprising in its pared-back simplicity, Eugenie's nostalgic princess gown surprised in an altogether different way. Eugenie - who isn’t a ‘working royal’ carrying out official duties for the Queen - lives a more normal life than her Windsor cousins. A director at art gallery Hauser & Wirth, the Princess’s wardrobe reflects that freedom - the York sisters’ choices are often daring, from the now-infamous hats of the 2011 royal wedding to the 1960s-inspired outfit that Eugenie wore to Meghan’s wedding in May, which drew comparisons with air hostess uniforms.<doc-sep>
LONDON — Princess Eugenie has picked London label Peter Pilotto to create the dress for her marriage to Jack Brooksbank. The princess swept up the steps to St. George’s Chapel in Windsor at 11 a.m. local time wearing the long, white dress with a wide V-neck, a fold around the shoulders, a revealing back and a long train. She chose not to wear a veil, and is wearing the Greville Emerald tiara, designed by Boucheron in 1921. She is carrying a bouquet of wildflowers and Angel’s Breath. Peter Pilotto is based in London and designed by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos. The duo launched the label in 2007, and quickly made a name for themselves with their bright, printed and patterned collections. It was an unusual — but inspired — choice for Eugenie, whom many had expected to choose a traditional wedding dress designer. Pilotto and De Vos aren’t known for their bridal gowns or even for monochromatic designs. For their spring 2019 collection, they worked a Polynesian fantasy, staging their show at Trader Vic’s tiki bar under the Hilton hotel on Park Lane in London. They worked a palette of joyously lurid tropical hues, from sunset peach to rainforest green, violet, fuchsia, royal and sky blues, acid yellow, seafoam, vermilion and marigold yellow — all shot through with flashes of gold and silver. Another inspiration for the collection was the work of French Art Nouveau glass artist Émile Gallé. Eugenie first met the designers when she was co-hosting an event in support of the Artemis Council for Women Artists, and has been wearing designs by the brand for several years. She and the two designers worked closely on the dress, with Pilotto and De Vos undertaking archive research into previous gowns worn by members of Britain’s royal family. According to the designers, the dress was developed layer-by-layer starting with the corset and the “complex underskirt.” It features a fitted bodice and full pleated skirt while the neckline folds around the shoulders to a low back that drapes into a flowing, full-length train. The designers said the low back feature on the dress was at the specific request of Eugenie, who had surgery when she was 12 years old to correct scoliosis. The fabric was designed by Pilotto and De Vos at their studio in East London and includes a number of symbols that are meaningful to the princess, according to the designers. The symbols are a thistle for Scotland, a shamrock for Ireland, The York Rose for England. The ivy, represents the couple’s home, Ivy Cottage, on the grounds of Kensington Palace. Pilotto and De Vos said they reinterpreted those symbols in a garland of rope-like motifs, woven into a jacquard of silk, cotton and viscose blend. Once the artwork was completed, it was translated into a jacquard weave at a mill near Lake Como.
