Hmm, both lovely but I think updo's look too hard, ageing and severe.
The first dress is nice. The second looks a bit matronly to me.Zara would be, IMO, lovely in this style as it will be summer.

This is a beauty. Brideswardrobe Wedding Dress - Cap sleeve chffion wedding dress with church train HA-418
I prefer the first dress out of these two. The lace is exquisite.
I know right!Whatever style Zara chooses I can pretty well bet it will NOT be strapless.
If her stint as chief Bridesmaid at her brother's wedding taught her anything at all it is that no matter how much concealer or fake tan is used, bra or swimsuit lines are virtually impossible to get rid of.
Not a good look!![]()
I thought someone referenced a wedding gown based on a riding habit. Singer Karen Carpenter's gown was designed as such. I would suggest a bridal veil instead of the hat.

Zara seems to have such a fun personality, I hope she get's to balanced that out with her dress, not forgetting some traditions.
Will she wear a tiara? what about the Fringe? her mom and grandmother wore it so I think it would be a nice continuity
Her Mum and Grandmother might have worn it but they were also both HRH Princess xxx and the eldest daughter of the reigning monarch at the time of their weddings.
As Zara isn't royal (according to her mother) and isn't a Princess I think a lower key headpiece is called for.
How about something like this http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu233/weareready2008/AA/a019.jpg

Probably Zara didn't have much say for the bridesmaid's dress, she just had to wear what Autumn had chosen. I don't think that she would choose strapless for herself. It's seems not to be her personal style and she would know that it's not really proper for a church wedding.Whatever style Zara chooses I can pretty well bet it will NOT be strapless.

I guess most of us like the way in which all female descendants of Queen Ingrid have worn the Khedive tiara at their wedding (and Princess Nathalie of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg will surely be the next bride to wear it). But the British Royals like to do things their own way, and I don't see them copying traditions from other Royal families. Also, so far only two brides, QEII and Princess Anne, have worn the fringe tiara at their weddings. So I wouldn't call that a tradition. It might become a tradition if Zara wears the fringe at her wedding. But I think that it's more likely that she will borrow one of her mother's tiaras. The festoon tiara looke great on Autumn Kelly on her wedding day. But Princess Anne also owns the Greak key tiara, which imho would fit Zara's personal style rather well.Will she wear a tiara? what about the Fringe? her mom and grandmother wore it so I think it would be a nice continuity

All the recently posted gowns are very nice, especially the Kubach gowns. His gowns are impeccibly constructed and decorated. However, these gowns are not for churches. They are just fine for country club, down in the back 40 or a hotel wedding. I would like to see Zara wear a suit for her wedding, but I'm pretty sure she won't.
