“It has to be flawless, it has to be perfect,” Clare explained of the dress. The designer who has served as the Artistic Director for a number of luxury fashion houses including Pringle of Scotland, Chloé, also commended the couple for choosing to break away from tradition during the ceremony, “The whole ceremony was something quite unique. A gospel choir. That had never been part of a royal wedding before,” said Clare.
