Masha Markova, 24, is a fashion entrepreneur and married Robert at the Ritz Hotel, London, in May 2010

I was a very unglamorous bride. We had a private wedding at the Ritz andI wanted it to be low-key. I don't
like big weddings or big dresses.

I didn't take much time choosing my dress. I didn't ever go wedding-dress shopping. I was in the Christian Dior store looking for something completely different when I saw it. It was classic and delicate. I loved it.

It was the same with the headpiece. I went to Philip Treacy for a hat for Ascot and he said, 'You have to wear something.' I had a three-hour fitting and sent him the dress. This was on a Tuesday - I was getting married on the Friday. The hat turned up on Thursday night and I adored it.

I'll definitely wear the dress again. It's sexy and timeless, and unless you pair it with a hat it's not a wedding dress.
