The modest, floor-sweeping gown features signature elements by the world renowned designer, including lace sleeves, a tight waist and a romantic, trailing veil. Paired with it was a floral crown and delicate, white bouquet.

They had announced their engagement nine months earlier, before officially wedding on Saturday in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and later enjoying a reception at Leslie’s family estate, Lickleyhead Castle.
