Everything you need to know about Emma Victoria Payne: the society wedding designer behind Olivia Henson’s dress as she marries the Duke of Westminster
Constructed in ivory silk crepe satin, ivory silk organza with bespoke embroidered detailing, Henson’s gown features a scalloped edge neckline with a delicate bespoke hand appliquéd embroidery consisting of floral and leafy motifs. Elegant, simple and with a touch of glamour thanks to that diamond tiara and the opulent floral embroidery, it is a strong first step into Henson’s duchess era.

What tiara did Olivia Henson wear to marry the Duke of Westminster? Everything we know about the Grosvenor family’s Fabergé favourite
By choosing the Fabergé Myrtle Leaf Tiara, Olivia Henson donned a piece of history. The diadem has been a century-long tradition among Westminster brides
The gorgeous piece, says The Court Jeweller, was commissioned in 1906 for the wedding of Lord Hugh Grosvenor and Lady Mabel Circhton. According to the Royal Watcher, the diamond-set tiara is ‘composed of two sprays of myrtle leaves and berries, with stalks of engraved red gold, and leaves in a rubbed-over silver setting.’ A gesture to the Greek tradition of myrtle leaves being sacred to Aphrodite, goddess of beauty, the Fabergé tiara is a fitting choice for the bride-to-be.
