“I’m not one of those cool girls who never thought about their wedding,” says Rose Easton, who commissioned close friend Phoebe English to design her gown, and plotted a mystery tour around a deserted City of London for guests.
Rose Easton always knew Phoebe English would design her wedding dress. “When Phoebe was graduating from the MA course at Central Saint Martins, she made me a dress for my 21st birthday that was part of her final year collection,” says Rose. “It was made from floor-length black hair and rubber.”
Along with English – whose womenswear label Rose helped to run before she moved into the art world – other “fashion babies” in her friendship circle helped to bring the bride’s vision to life. “Molly Goddard made my mum’s outfit, so that was cute. And one of my bridesmaids, Tessa Edwards, who was also on the MA fashion course with Phoebe back in the day, made all of the jewellery. Everyone looked so hot, I’m very proud of them.
Adding to the magic? A deliberate layer of mystery. The only detail on the invitations was the church, Rose explains – otherwise, their guests were kept in the dark. “The getting married to your great love in front of with your family and friends, that bit is for you,” she says. “The rest is for everyone else. And I always think the best thing about a party is when you don’t know what’s going to happen.
