The fact that the dress was rented, and part of the circular economy, isn’t surprising, considering the bride’s professional credentials.
SOMETHING BORROWED: News is normally slow on a bank holiday weekend in the U.K., but Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds certainly gave the British press something to buzz about when they married in a secret ceremony on Saturday, May 29, at London’s Westminster Cathedral.
The Johnsons live at No. 10 with Wilf, and were the first unmarried couple to occupy 10 Downing Street, the official home and office of the British prime minister. Earlier in May, the couple had sent out a save-the-date for their larger wedding reception, which will take place in July 2022. The Sun revealed that Symonds’ flowing white dress with bell sleeves had been rented from the fashion platform My Wardrobe HQ. The tulle and silk dress, by Greek designer Christos Costarellos, costs 2,870 pounds to buy and 45 pounds per day to rent, according to the site. Symonds wore a crown of flowers instead of a veil.Carrie Symonds’ wedding dress, which rents for 45 pounds a day from the London platform MyWardrobeHQ.
According to his website, Costarellos is inspired by “the spirit of ancient Greek philosophy,” which might explain Symonds’ choice for the big day. The prime minister studied classics at Oxford and is quick to quote verses of “The Iliad” and spout speeches by his hero, Pericles.
