Peaches and Dreams

Peaches Geldof wed Indie musician Thomas Cohen over the weekend at the picturesque St Mary Magdalene and St Lawrence Church in the village of Davington, in Kent.

Their marriage was celebrated at her fathers country home, Davington Priory.

Peaches vision was "a country wedding meets Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream".

As we expected from this non-traditional young bride there was plenty of quirky details such as their eight-month-old golden retriever puppy playing the part of ring-bearer whilst wearing a flower garland. Peaches obsession with pigs was manifest in her choice of blue and cream iced wedding cake which featured edible porcine decorations. 

Peaches designed her ceremony gown herself and it was brought to life by Italian designer Alberta Ferretti who is best known for dressing the cocktail crowd, made from a delicate, fairytale lace embellished with pearls and gems it was beautifully accented by the floral crown of daisies she wore. An ethereal beauty. 

Now girls, we know just how hard it can be to find one dress for that special occasion but Peaches managed to find three! 

Her second gown worn at her reception was  a little piece of history as it is the very first custom made wedding gown by fashion house Dolce & Gabbana. In a delicate shade of grey the exquisite lace sheath dress with trumpet inspired hem and cap sleeves oozes subtle glamour. Completed by a matching lace edged Mantilla style veil which gives a hint of tradition with a slight Spanish feel.

Peaches party dress was a white embellished Marchesa gown.

Peaches was accompanied by no less than seven bridesmaids which included her sisters Fifi, Pixie and Tiger. 

The location the couple chose for their wedding had a bittersweet tinge to it as it was in the same spot where Peaches mother, Paula Yates, married her father, Sir Bob Geldof, 25 years ago but was also where her funeral took place in 2000. 

Peaches said, "I have... opted for a very romantic and delicate look, fitting in with the aesthetic of the wedding, which is old fashioned, pared down and vintage".
