) at Her High Society Wedding Attended by Royal Family! Olivia Henson Battles the Wind (in an Heirloom Tiara

The new Duchess of Westminster has a bridal look straight out of a storybook — despite battling some windy weather!

Olivia Henson married Hugh Grosvenor, the 7th Duke of Westminster,on June 7 at Chester Cathedral in Britain's high-society wedding of the year. As seen in a video shared on social media by royal reporter Cameron Walker, the bride was all smiles upon arrival, even as high winds blew around her dress and veil on her way into the church on the arm of her father, Rupert Henson.

The bride topped off her wedding day outfit with the ultimate accessory: a tiara. The Faberge Myrtle Leaf Tiara was made for Grosvenor brides to wear on their wedding day and has been in the Grosvenor family since its creation in 1906.

Although Hugh's mother, Natalia, opted for a different tiara at her wedding, Hugh's sister Lady Tamara sported the same family heirloom accessory when she wed Edward van Cutsem in 2004.

For her big day, the bride wore a wedding dress and veil by British bridal designer Emma Victoria Payne.

The ivory silk crepe satin, ivory silk organza gown with a scalloped edge neckline was decorated with bespoke embroidered detailing that was also featured on her veil. The embroidery was hand-drawn by Payne, incorporating floral motifs and edgings that adorned Olivia’s great-great-grandmother’s veil from around 1880. Behind the dress was a 6-foot train.

The wedding dress has a sleek silhouette of bias cut skirt, pleated waistband, gathered sleeves, wide embroidered silk organza cuffs with a scalloped edge repeat motif and button detailing while its back features a dropped waist, "keyhole back and scalloped edging embroidery embellishments fastening with rouleau loops," a press release from the couple explained. "It features a detachable 2m silk crepe satin train with a paneled construction."

As well as the hand-drawn delicate floral motifs with foliage and scrolls on her veil, there was another personal touch: her initials and the wedding date are incorporated.
