Introducing the newlyweds, the Duke and Duchess of Westminster!

On June 7, Hugh Grosvenor, 33, married Olivia Henson, 31, at the gothic Chester Cathedral in northern England. Despite the windy weather, the bride and groom were all smiles at their nuptials, which have been highly buzzed about as the British high-society wedding of the year.

The couple exited the church together, sharing a sweet kiss outside.

In a special touch showing her connection to her husband and his family, the bride topped her wedding day outfit with a tiara that was made for Grosvenor brides. The Faberge Myrtle Leaf Tiara has been in the Grosvenor family since its creation in 1906, and it was also the headpiece that Hugh’s sister Lady Tamara wore at her 2004 nuptials.

The bride wore a wedding dress and veil by British bridal designer Emma Victoria Payne featuring hand-drawn embroidery that nodded to her great-great-grandmother’s veil from around 1880. The veil also incorporated another personal touch: Olivia’s initials and the wedding date.

Olivia carried flowers picked from the gardens of Eaton Hall, the Grosvenor family’s estate. The bouquet included meadow grass, ox-eye daisies, iris, rose, clematis, mock orange, scabious, sweet pea, astrantia, martagon lily and love in a mist.

The Duke of Westminster is the richest person in the U.K. under 40 and was previously dubbed one of the most eligible bachelors in the U.K. He also has many connections to the British royal family, including being a godfather to Prince George, 10. Prince William served as an usher at the wedding, helping guests find their seats, while Princess Eugenie was also among the 400 guests.
