Holly Ramsay has delighted fans by sharing the first official pictures of the breathtaking wedding gown she wore to marry Olympic champion Adam Peaty. The couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in the historic city of Bath last month, surrounded by family and famous friends.
First Look at the Bridal Ensemble
In a new video posted to her Instagram, Holly offered a glimpse into the meticulous planning behind her big day, focusing on the custom stationery designed with luxury brand Smythson. The footage, however, was stolen by her stunning dress, as she posed gracefully surrounded by floral arrangements and the elegant invitations.
"Designing our wedding stationery with @smythson was a dream come true," Holly wrote. She described the exquisite details, from engraved plate mark invites with gold bevelled edges to the dark green tissue-lined envelopes, which she said "added the perfect touch to our weekend."
Family Drama Overshadows Celebrations
The joyous occasion has, however, been clouded by significant family discord. Adam Peaty made the controversial decision to uninvite his own parents, Caroline and Mark Peaty, from the wedding. Instead, the ceremony was attended by Holly's family, including her famous father, chef Gordon Ramsay, and high-profile guests like David and Victoria Beckham.
A source told The Sun that the situation was exacerbated when a family member received a wedding photo—featured in Vogue—via social media. The image showed the happy couple with the Ramsays and the Beckhams. "To see Adam and his bride in her ensemble would have been lovely but the photos showed them with Gordon and Tana, their son and the Beckhams," the source said, noting the absence of Adam's parents was "galling."
Emotional Fallout and Adam's Speech
The rift led to a bitter message from Adam's aunt, Louise, sent hours before the wedding. In a scathing text he never received due to blocked numbers, she wrote: "I hope you never suffer the depth of pain you have put your mother through... Remember on this, your happiest day... that you hurt your mum so deeply her soul screams."
During the wedding reception, Adam addressed the gathering with a speech in which he firmly stated he would "always choose" his new wife, Holly, seemingly referencing the ongoing familial tensions. The newlyweds also shared a tender snap of them cuddling, showcasing their happiness despite the surrounding controversy.
The wedding of Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty remains a captivating blend of celebrity glamour, exquisite design, and deeply personal family strife.
