Inside Emily Atack’s Three Wedding Dresses: From Bedfordshire to Mojácar

Two weddings, two very different settings and three beautiful bridal looks.

When Emily Atack married scientist Dr Alistair Garner, Evelie had the privilege of being part of her bridal journey across both celebrations. The couple married in Bedfordshire on 22 August 2026 in an intimate ceremony surrounded by close friends and family. Three weeks later, they gathered once again for a much larger celebration in Mojácar, southern Spain. And the change of setting brought a change of dress — twice.

For her English wedding, Emily wore a personalised version of Juliette by Avenue by Josephine Scott. For her Spanish ceremony, she chose a dramatic silk satin Josephine Scott gown that has since been named Emily in her honour. Later that evening, she changed again, this time into the fluid satin Tate gown by Josephine Scott.

Three very different dresses, each chosen for a different moment of the celebrations.

Emily Atack celebrated her marriage to Dr Alistair Garner with ceremonies in Bedfordshire and Mojácar, wearing distinctive bridal looks.

The First Wedding: An Intimate Bedfordshire Ceremony

Emily and Alistair officially married on Saturday 22 August 2026 at a church in Bedfordshire, surrounded by close family and friends, before continuing the celebrations at their countryside home. Emily described their legal ceremony as “absolutely perfect” when she shared photographs from the day.

The celebration was intimate and personal. Photographs from the day showed the newlyweds leaving church beneath a shower of confetti, enjoying champagne beside a vintage car and later celebrating at home with their guests. One of the more playful touches was a personalised McDonald’s van serving McFlurries bearing the couple’s new married name.

For this first ceremony, Emily chose a dress that combined a traditional sense of romance with a much more contemporary silhouette.

Emily wore a personalised version of the Juliette gown by Avenue by Josephine Scott for her Bedfordshire wedding.

Dress One: Juliette by Avenue by Josephine Scott

Emily’s first wedding dress was a customised version of Juliette by Avenue by Josephine Scott, discovered through Evelie.

Juliette is crafted from luxurious crepe and combines a plunging pleated neckline with a soft fishtail silhouette. Intricately embellished lace sleeves introduce a romantic contrast to the clean crepe body, while the lace continues into the train. At the back, an elegant keyhole detail gives the gown an unexpected and distinctly modern finish.

Working closely with Josephine Scott, the original Juliette design was thoughtfully personalised for Emily while retaining the character of the gown. Considered changes were made to give the distinctive silhouette a more personal feel for Emily.

The finished look suited the atmosphere of the Bedfordshire wedding beautifully: romantic enough for the church ceremony, but relaxed and modern enough for the celebrations that followed at home.

The Second Wedding: From Bedfordshire to Mojácar

Just three weeks later, the setting changed completely. On 12 September 2026, Emily and Alistair celebrated again in Mojácar, the whitewashed hilltop town in Almería, Andalucía. The Spanish location has a longstanding connection to Emily and her family; her father Keith previously had a holiday home there, and Emily spent childhood summers visiting the area.

This time, the celebration was much larger, with close to 200 guests travelling to Spain. Emily arrived for the ceremony in a vintage red Cadillac before being met by her father, who walked her towards the ceremony for the second time in three weeks. The celebration took place around the historic centre of Mojácar, with the ceremony held in the courtyard of a 16th-century church.

Among the guests were friends and several of Emily’s Rivals co-stars, alongside familiar faces including David Tennant, Stanley Tucci, Laura Whitmore, Iain Stirling and Katherine Ryan. Against the sunshine, whitewashed buildings and historic streets of Mojácar, Emily chose a completely different kind of wedding dress.

Dress Two: Introducing the Emily Wedding Dress

For the Spanish ceremony, Emily wore a dramatic Josephine Scott silk satin gown, a design that has now been named Emily in her honour.

Where Juliette was romantic and intricately detailed, Emily was all about fabric, structure and movement. The gown envelops the body in flattering soft drapes of sumptuous Italian Duchess silk satin. Beneath the seemingly effortless folds is an internal corset with a lace-up back, giving the dress structure and support while allowing the satin itself to remain soft and fluid.

Detachable off-the-shoulder straps create different styling possibilities and frame the neckline beautifully. At the back, the gown becomes much more dramatic, with sculptural pick-up detailing creating volume through the skirt before flowing into a sweeping train. A line of pearl buttons provides the finishing touch.

The combination of structured corsetry and softly draped satin gives the Emily gown a timeless quality, while the dramatic proportions of the skirt and train make it feel unmistakably modern.

Dress Three: Tate by Josephine Scott for the Evening

One ceremony dress wasn’t the end of Emily’s Spanish bridal wardrobe. As the Mojácar celebrations moved into the evening, Emily changed into her third wedding dress: Tate by Josephine Scott. The change created another completely different silhouette.

Where the Emily gown was designed around volume and drama, Tate is softer, sleeker and closer to the body — making it an ideal evening look as the formal ceremony gave way to dinner, dancing and the evening celebrations.

Tate is crafted from sumptuous Japanese satin, with a softly sculpted silhouette that skims the body before flowing into a clean, elongated train. Gentle draping across the bodice defines the waist, while an off-the-shoulder neckline frames the décolletage.

Beneath the satin is an internal lace-up corset, providing the structure and support that allows the outer fabric to appear so effortless. From behind, a delicate line of pearl buttons follows the silhouette towards the train.

There is a connection between Tate and the Emily gown — satin, corsetry, off-the-shoulder detailing and pearl buttons — but the effect is entirely different. The Emily gown brought drama to the ceremony, while Tate introduced a more fluid, understated elegance for the evening.

Two Weddings, Three Very Different Bridal Looks

What makes Emily’s bridal wardrobe particularly special is that the three dresses each had their own personality, while still feeling connected through beautiful fabrics, thoughtful construction and elegant silhouettes.

To have been involved in three of Emily’s wedding dresses across two such special celebrations is something we are incredibly proud of at Evelie. And with the gown she wore for her Mojácar ceremony now named Emily in her honour and soon joining the Evelie collection, it feels like a very special way to complete the story.
