The Director’s Oscar at this marriage ceremony belonged to Prince Edward somewhat far more than it belonged to culture favorite Samantha Shaw.
It had been mentioned that the Queen’s most thespy son had stage-managed the medieval pageant vibe with the occasion, for which he’d appropriately location-scouted St George’s Chapel at Windsor.
The pageboys and bridesmaids have been dressed as ‘miniature knights and dames’ in breeches and feathered caps, and Edward himself developed some Gothic black and white pearl jewellery for his new spouse which was manufactured up for him by Asprey & Garrard. Very Maid Marian.
Sophie, soon to become (fittingly enough) the Countess of Wessex, wore a pretty silk and organza coat dress manufactured by Shaw (who has a theatrical streak herself having studied costume design), which gave a nod to the medieval theme without getting too Blackadder about it all.
Shortly before the marriage ceremony, Samantha got married herself (to Dave Keswick, a son of Prince Charles’s friends from the Hong Kong Jardine Matheson dynasty). She closed her studio for four years when she had children, but reopened in Paddington in 2007, making pretty dresses for society women again.
And that suits her fine - at no point has she shown any indication that she was itching to become the next Galliano
