Mel B was the epitome of a beautiful, blushing bride for her wedding to Rory McPhee at St Paul’s cathedral on Saturday.
The Spice Girl, 50, is famed for her love of leopard print, but opted for a traditional bridal gown as she walked down the aisle for a third time.
Mel’s gorgeous gown was a bespoke gown by British designer Josephine Scott, via bridal boutique Evelie Bridal, and featured a sheer illusion design adorned with white pearls and a ruched bodice, with the singer adding a flowing to her bridal look.
Speaking to MailOnline about Mel’s decision to go for the dress, Josephine revealed the singer wanted to embody ‘strength, sensuality, and timeless glamour.’
Caroline Black added: ‘From the moment Mel walked through the doors at Evelie, this journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.
‘Helping a real Spice Girl choose her wedding dress – what could possibly top that? But what’s truly made this experience so meaningful is getting to know Mel as just Mel [not the icon, but the woman. It’s been such an honour.’

Designer Josephine continued: ‘Designing this gown for Mel was about capturing her fearless spirit and softness all in one look.
‘She’s iconic, powerful, and radiant — and this dress had to be worthy of that. Every detail was chosen to honour her strength and sensuality, while celebrating the woman and the love story beneath the girl power.’
While Mel opted for a traditional gown, as did groom Rory, who wore Scottish attire complete with a red and green tartan kilt.
Emma Bunton, the only other Spice Girl in attendance – led the celebrity guests arriving for the wedding as Scary Spice prepared to walk down the aisle for the third time.
While Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell and Melanie Chisholm were absent – Emma ensured she was there to support her friend.
Also in attendance was Mel’s sister Danielle Brown, Daisy Lowe, Katherine Ryan and Gaby Roslin – who were dressed to impress for the ceremony.
Emma echoed her Baby Spice days as she donned a bay pink mini dress worn with platform heels and a matching fascinator.
She was accompanied by husband Jade Jones and their son Beau, 17, with both men looking dapper as they joined Emma for the ceremony.

Gaby, 60, also looked incredible as she opted for a nude midi dress with a sheer overlay that she paired with a long pink coat.
Earlier in the day, staff were seen organising the cathedral for the ceremony – which Mel has been given permission to wed in because she was awarded an MBE in 2022 for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women.
Giant bouquets of white flowers were seen being brought through the front doors ahead of the guests arriving.
MailOnline understands that the nuptials will see Rory’s brother Jordan act as best man, while pal James Steen will fill in as father of the bride in place of Mel’s late father Martin Brown and walk her down the aisle. Mel’s nieces will be flower girls.
Mel confirmed she was tying the knot with Rory back in November 2022 after three years of dating after he got down on one knee with a £100k diamond ring.
The singer has credited Rory for making her feel ‘more confident than ever’.
The couple have known each other for years, with Rory having been a family friend and has worked as her hair stylist.
And Mel has ensured she pulled out all the stops to ensure her wedding to Rory is a picture perfect day, and after saying her vows, she’ll throw a huge ‘party in the sky’ after hiring the Shard in London for the wedding reception.
The Spice Girl will be joined by her guests for a meal, drinks and dancing at the Shangri-La venue inside the building which boasts 95 floors and promises panoramic views over the capital.
There her friends and family will dance into the small hours as the ‘party of the century’ has been promised by the bride and groom..
