In short, an exceptional \u201csomething borrowed\u201d for her first fateful \u201cI do\u201d: the ivory lace slip dress came from none other than Beckham\u2019s own wardrobe. And for the second part of Mel C\u2019s wedding? Once again, it was Posh Spice who stepped up to design her dress: \u201cI obviously offered to make her dream dress.\u201d<\/p>\n
The starting point was always the slip dress worn for the civil ceremony: thin straps, an open back, all enhanced not only by a delicate train but also by hand-applied vintage floral lace details. A very simple look in line with what Mel C wanted, as well as with Beckham\u2019s style<\/a>: \u201cMelanie is quite minimalist and didn\u2019t want anything too fussy, conceptual or overly complicated.\u201d<\/p>\n Chris Dingwall and Mel C met on Raya.<\/p>\n <\/span>Dave Benett\/Getty Images<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n No sooner said than done: the perfect dress for a \u201cquite low-key; relaxed, romantic and chic\u201d ceremony, shared with close family and friends. And speaking of guests, could the Spice Girls possibly be missing from the bride\u2019s side? Of course not.<\/p>\n Together, almost like in the old days, they posed for the photographer: Mel B wearing a short, draped pink dress studded with sequins; Geri Halliwell-Horner in a more delicate, long white dress embellished with eye-catching, colorful flowers; and Emma Burton sporting a light pink plaid ensemble paired with a pair of platform wedges.<\/p>\n A lovely scene, steeped in nostalgia, in which only one person is missing: Beckham. Although, deep down, she\u2019s there too\u2014not physically, but through her stunning dress.<\/p>\n Originally published in<\/em> Vanity Fair Italia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
