Sketch of the Chanel dress; Lily Allen at a fitting.

Before Lily Allen got married rumours were swirling around that she would say 'I do' in a Chanel dress. So it was quite a surprise, and for some fashion lovers a disappointment, when she walked down the aisle in a Delphine Manivet 1920's style dress.

However, after both Lily's Rupert Sanderson shoes were revealed - one pair for the ceremony, the second pair for the party - her second dress has now been showed to the audience by the Chanel website. Chanel released a photo of Lily at a fitting, as well as a sketch of the dress. 

Lily wore the white, vintage style dress with voluminous bell sleeves and empire waist at her reception/party.

Lily Allen waves after her wedding ceremony. If you look closesly you can see the beginnings of a baby bump.

Yesterday was a joyous day for Lily Allen and Sam Cooper, they got married. It alsow was a joyous day for other reasons, over the wedding breakfast, Sam shared with wedding guests that they've got one more thing to be overjoyed about: they're expecting a baby!

Lily's new pregnancy comes almost seven months after the newlyweds sadly lost their son in the sixth month of their pregnancy. When Lily was photographed yesterday rumours immediately started: is that a little bit of extra room in her wedding dress? And is that little bit of room for a baby belly? Delphine Manivet, the designer of the dress (and so not Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld as some outlets report - even though it was expected that Lily would wear Chanel, she clearly did not), commented on Lily's pregnancy after news broke that Sam had shared it with their wedding guests. She said "It's beautiful that she is pregnant, and I am very happy for her. She is very happy about that - it is something wonderful." Regarding the dress she added "You can see of course the little stomach - it looked very cute with the dress."

Speaking of the dress, more details are coming out (but not regarding the flowers. Grrrr.). The dress consisted of an underdress covered with a second lace overlay dress. The lace in the dress and veil was made in Calais, France. The train of the dress was reportedly over one meter/3.28 feet long.

A double congrats is in place. I hope that I'll soon be able to report about Lily and Sam's healthy baby!

Mr. and Mrs. Sam Cooper.

Lily Allen and Sam Cooper got married today in Cranham (near Gloucestershire), England. The 26-year old bride was escorted down the aisle by her father, actor and comedian Keith Allen. The wedding was attended by less than 100 guests in the (reportedly) tiny church. Sam, a 32-year old decorator and business owner, proposed last Christmas.

Lily's dress was designed by French designer Delphine Manivet. It had over-the-elbow lace sleeves, a lace overlay, a long train, a fishtail skirt and a sweetheart neckline, that in combination with her veil gave the total quite a 1920's feel. Sam looked dashing in his black suit, grey tie and white rose corsage. I also really love Lily's wedding bouquet, but other than the fact that there are white roses in it, I can't seem to find the names of the other flowers in there. Pity.

According to The Daily Telegraph Lily's dress echoed Kate's (as in, from William, aka the duchess of Cambridge) wedding dress. I would disagree, the sweetheart neckline and the fishtail skirt make it a completely different dress. There's a good chance that the author of the Daily Telegraph article was a guy though :)

The wedding was no secret after a wedding guest had leaked the save the day card to the press, it's unknown who this person is, but Lily went into a state of rage and tweeted this message on March 30th "Oh and whoever leaked my wedding invite to the press, you're a dick and your not invited anymore, have some respect and stay at home."
