Following months of speculation and secrecy, bridesmaid and childrenswear designer Nicki Macfarlane has been announced as the creator of Catherine Middleton’s bridesmaids’ dresses for her marriage to Prince William.

The four bridesmaids, Lady Louise Windsor, The Hon. Margarita Armstrong Jones, Grace Van Cutsem and Eliza Lopes will follow Catherine up the aisle of Westminster Abbey today wearing ballerina length, box pleated full dresses made of ivory silk satin gazar, layered over organza, wild silk and generous petticoats. The edges are hand finished with an English lace trim. A wild silk gold sash is tied in a sumptuous bow at the back while beautiful pleated, lace trimmed puff sleeves complete the look.

Having designed childrenswear for over thirty years, Marlborough based Nicki has become renowned for her exquisite outfits for bridesmaids and pageboys.

“I am thrilled and honoured to have been asked to design the bridesmaids’ dresses for the Royal Wedding”, said Nicki. “I hope the children enjoy wearing the dresses as much as I have enjoyed making them. I couldn’t be more proud to have been part of this wonderful day.”
