Designer Domenico Dolce told Tatler that Spencer opted for a “fairly traditional” and “timeless” look. Stefano Gabanna added that although her love for Italy and its culture was behind her inspiration, “she is also a girl who is very attached to her origins, to England; to her heritage of the great Victorian era. And like all the English people, she has a great passion for all kinds of flowers.”

As for her four other dresses, Spencer chose various colorful flower-strewn couture gowns and accessories. Although Spencer emphasized the importance of “sticking to her roots” as far as her choice of gowns, she chose to forego the wearing of the traditional Spencer Tiara that was previously worn by her mother Victoria Lockwood and her Aunt Princess Diana.

“I can see myself having children at some point… but I’m only in my twenties,” she told the DailyMail. “I do have friends my age who are having children, and they are so, so, sweet, but I think everyone should do things in their own time.”
