Since breaking up with Kate Middleton, Robert Pattinson has been linked to a number of Hollywood stars – most recently, American comedy legend and three-time Oscar winner Melissa McCarthy. Now the pair are set to become engaged, and the world is going to be a very different place.
“I love meeting new people, having new experiences, and traveling the world. So if any of those things sound good to you, then we should do this,” the Good Game actor told GQ magazine about proposing to McCarthy, who he recently ended his seven-year relationship with. The couple have been dating for about a year and have been extremely open about their feelings for each other. And while neither of them would confirm or deny that they are engaged, the tabloids have been speculating about their wedding for months. The question is, what will the wedding ceremony look like? From a super fancy dress to an intimate alfresco gathering, here’s a closer look at the upcoming nuptials of Robert Pattinson and Melissa McCarthy.
A Wedding To Remember
Pattinson and McCarthy are set to wed in a celebrity-studded soiree in London on May 24th, with guests including fashion heavyweights Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington. The wedding will be a reflection of the incredible career journeys of the couple – with highlights including a circus wedding and an extravagant black-tie affair. The guest list reads like a who’s who of the international fashion and publishing industries, and will witness some of the industry’s most glamorous moments.
The celebrity wedding event will be held at London’s exclusive and iconic Claridge’s hotel, with a reception to follow at the nearby Dorchester. The ceremony will begin at 12 p.m., and guests are encouraged to arrive early to secure a good parking spot.
The bride will wear a stunning white gown with blue accents, designed by the prestigious German designer Otto Weinberger, and the wedding cake will be served by a celebrity chef. It’s fair to say that this wedding will be a memorable affair. And it seems like the couple are taking special care to make the event as memorable as possible. In an interview with The New York Times, McCarthy revealed that they’ve been booking top London designers to create unique wedding outfits for the big day.
Unique Attire
The iconic bridal gown is a timeless choice for the special day, but designers must adhere to a number of rules in order to create something truly bespoke for the couple’s big day. According to Vogue, the designer must consult with the couple about the design of the dress, and must be able to commit to something that will last for the entire duration of the wedding. They also have to take into consideration how the bride plans on walking down the aisle, and whether or not the dress will be suitable for a variety of events throughout the day.
Other important decisions include the color and style of the bride’s hair and nails, and selecting a designer for her evening wear. In order to create something truly unique, the designers will have to source a number of historical fabrics from the couple’s respective childhoods, and work together to create a beautiful dress that will match their personalities and stories.
Sophisticated Yet Classy
One of the couple’s most important decisions regarding their wedding day is the choice of venue. Their luxurious, celebrity wedding ceremony and reception will take place at the exclusive Claridge’s hotel in London, UK. The boutique hotel is a renowned host for grand and celebrity events, and has impeccable taste in music, food, and décor. The couple are aware of how prestigious a location this is, and they plan on making the most of it. As Melissa McCarthy said in an interview with The New York Times, “We wanted a classy venue that still had a bit of an edge. It had to feel like a bit of a luxury.”
The couple have also hired the prestigious German designer Otto Weinberger to design their wedding dresses. The designer has created famous dresses for an array of well-known women, including the Duchess of Cambridge and the Queen of Netherlands. His work is often cited for its exquisite quality and timeless design.
Classic Yet Classy
Weinberger is also responsible for designing the Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding dress for her recent Royal Wedding to Prince William. As the designer noted on his site, “As a designer, I could not be more thrilled to have been chosen by the Duchess of Cambridge to design her wedding dress. It is a great honor to have been asked to work on such a milestone occasion, and I hope I can contribute in some small way to making this such a memorable event.”
While most of the world will be watching the royal wedding on July 23rd, don’t forget about the special day the celebrity pair will share on May 24th. The invitation-only event will be held at Claridge’s, with a reception to follow at the nearby Dorchester. The couple are committed to quality and are taking great care in selecting a venue and outfit that is suitable for a formal affair with an exceptional guest list.
