Victoria wore two wedding dresses
Although her sister and maid of honour Louise rocked a strapless Chloe dress for the occasion, Victoria's young bridesmaids – her 13-month-old niece Liberty and David’s 16-month-old niece Georgina – were dressed as woodland fairies.
Later in the day, she and David both changed into their vibrant second wedding outfits from Antonio Berardi as they cut the cake, which was a three-tiered apple-covered confection. The bride rocked a one-shoulder 'Jessica Rabbit' dress with floral applique and thigh-high split, and the groom opted for a matching suit with suede Manolo shoes.
David later admitted he wasn't a fan of his purple ensemble, which tied in with the Robin Hood theme
