IS BLOOMING LOVELY WITH HUSBAND HUGO TAYLOR AS THEY CELEBRATE DAUGHTER SIENNA’S CHRISTENIN­G

- REPORT: ALEXANDRA WILBY

With

floral arches, a two-tier cake, dreamy tablescapi­ng and a countrysid­e backdrop, the christenin­g of Millie Mackintosh and Hugo Taylor’s daughter Sienna last week proved the perfect celebratio­n.

“We finally christened our darling Sienna today,” Millie wrote on Instagram, with a photo of the proud parents and their one-year-old daughter in a ivory dress and satin hair bow. “We were surrounded by our favourite people and it was so worth the wait to do it restrictio­n free and luckily just in time before baby 2 arrives!”

Celebratio­ns took place at members’ club Soho Farmhouse in the heart of Oxfordshir­e, with Millie saying: “We spend a lot of time in the Cotswolds so it felt like the perfect place to have a countrysid­e christenin­g.”

STEPPING OUT IN STYLE

London- based Millie and Hugo certainly embraced the theme, with beautiful blooms offset by “a touch of pampas grass to fit the rustic country setting”, plus cream roses and foliage brightenin­g up the table for their guests.

Eco- conscious Millie showcased recycled, rented or second-hand outfits for her Instagram followers to vote on, with the winner being an elegant ivory Shona Joy gown, worn with a Lele Sadoughi headband. “Thank you for all your advice on which dress to wear,” she wrote.

Sienna’s christenin­g was an opportunit­y for her to be centre of attention before becoming a big sister – Millie and Hugo, whose lavish English country garden-themed wedding was covered exclusivel­y by hello! three years ago, are expecting a baby girl later this year.

“I just feel so lucky and overwhelme­d with happiness,” Millie has said.
