Mary Charteris Weds In Pam Hogg Gown

Model Lady Mary Charteris has opened up about her fashion forward wedding.

The DJ, 24, married Robbie Furze, of rock duo The Big Pink, in September.

Her dress was part silk jumpsuit slashed navel-deep, part ruffled tulle. It was designed by her close friend Pam Hogg.

"When Robbie asked to marry me, I was really excited but the only thing that filled me with dread was trying to figure out what where I was going to find the wedding dress," she told Grazia. "I’d never dreamed of getting married and it was a very out of the blue thing."

The bride-to-be attended Pam Hogg's show during Paris Fashion Week in 2010 and spoke to the designer. "We got chatting after the show and I asked her if she’d design my wedding dress,' Mary said: "She was like, "Well, I have done wedding dresses but I’ve been trying to avoid it because it’s really stressful."

"Without a mannequin small enough to work on, we had to do several fittings,' Lady Hogg told the publication. 'The frills alone took about two weeks to design and make and I had to hand sew the whole of the bottom of part of the dress. I was threading 30 needles at a time at one point to keep the momentum going.' Eek! But it all paid off and on the Big Day, the dress certainly turned heads and somehow somehow worked.

Mary said she was worried about the reaction guests would have to the dress.

She told Grazia;" Obviously I was never going to wear your average wedding dress, but I didn’t want people looking at me and tut-tutting because I was wearing see-through panels. I saw pictures of it and the flash of the cameras made it not work as well as it did in person. The photos didn’t do the materials justice so it wasn't how I would have liked people to see it but, y’know... On the day, everyone was really nice so that made me feel a lot more comfortable.

"The whole wedding was very relaxed with a country vibe and a big marque,' Mary explains. 'There weren't regimented speeches, we just wanted all our best friends and family around us and to be in the house that I grew up in. It was exactly what I envisioned and everyone had a really good time. There was a lot of love."
