Peter Phillips<\/a> and his ex-wife Autumn Kelly’s daughters, Savannah and Isla, are well accustomed to taking on wedding duties, having been bridesmaids a total of three times.<\/p>\n

Their most recent appearance took place at the weekend, when their father married his second wife, Harriet Sperling<\/a>, in the Cotswolds on 6 June 2026. Dressed in their high-necked, white Emilia Wickstead dresses with clean silhouettes, they both looked poised with their long hair styled in loose curls and topped with floral headbands.<\/p>\n

Matching with their new step-sister Georgina, the young royals accessorised with earrings from Aspinal London and white ballet flats.<\/p>\n

It has only been four years since they attended another family wedding. Peter and Zara Tindall’s half-sister Stephanie Phillips, whom Mark Phillips welcomed with his second wife Sandy Pflueger, married William Hosier in July 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Photos of the bridal party<\/a> outside St. Mary The Virgin Church in Tetbury show Savannah and Isla looking very different in their blue-themed bridesmaid dresses.<\/p>\n

Alongside cousins Mia and Lena Tindall, Isla wore a cute white lace dress with a pale blue sash that matched the older bridesmaid. Among them was Isla’s sister Savannah, who wore a pastel chiffon dress featuring flutter sleeves and a ruched bodice.<\/p>\n

    Why royal bridesmaids wear white<\/p>\n

    While they experimented with pastels in 2022, they returned to the traditional royal white colour scheme for their father\u2019s nuptials.<\/p>\n

    Since white is strictly off-limits for wedding guests to prevent upstaging the bride, it is\u00a0tradition for bridesmaids to wear white<\/a> \u2013 as proven by\u00a0Princess Kate<\/a>‘s sister,\u00a0Pippa Middleton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Historically, white dresses were thought to deter evil spirits, so bridesmaids would help confuse any such spirits and safely disguise the bride.<\/p>\n

    Colour expert Gabi Winters from Chromology also previously told HELLO! it has a symbolic meaning.<\/p>\n

    “Culturally speaking, white is a symbol of purity, cleanliness, immaculacy and perfection, which is why it’s the natural colour choice for bridal dresses, doctors’ coats and seafarers.”<\/p>\n

    Boundary-pushing wedding guests\"A<\/p>\n

    While Peter and Harriet’s family members appeared to follow a blue and yellow theme, some wandered into rule-breaking cream territory.<\/a><\/p>\n

    The Princess of Wales was one of them, in her Roland Mouret midi dress featuring inverted pleats, which she elevated with a wide-brimmed Jane Taylor boater hat and matching heels.<\/p>\n

    Queen Camilla similarly chose a buttery cream Anna Valentine dress with a matching scalloped jacket for the royal wedding.<\/p>\n

    While it may seem like a bold option to wear a hue so close to the bride, cream is not an uncommon choice for high-society wedding guests \u2013 even the late Queen opted for an unconventional colour at her son King Charles’ wedding to Queen Camilla. <\/p>\n

    Since Camilla was in blue and gold at the time, and it was the couple’s second wedding, it’s possible that the rules had been relaxed.<\/p>\n
