What are the chances?
Northern Irish bride Andrea got married on Saturday, May 20th – the same day that Pippa Middleton married James Spencer. While Andrea was planning her big day at the same time as Pippa, the last thing she expected was that her wedding dress would be nearly identical to Pippa’s.
As we all know Pippa wore a high neck lace dress designed by Giles Deacon.
Andrea also wore a high neck lace dress, which originally belonged to her mum and was recreated for her wedding.

Even the detail at the back is the same.
Andrea’s dress was originally worn by her her Mum 35 years ago and was redesigned by dressmaker Lorna Reid-Mullen from The Pinked Edge Couture into a new dress for her special day.
Speaking to Metro about the dresses looking the same Andrea said:
“I couldn’t believe it when my bridesmaids sent me a picture of Pippa on her big day.
I was stunned to see the similarity in the style. Pippa’s was amazing so I was really happy that we got it so on trend. It was quite a relief that we got married the same day though as if my wedding had of been a few months later everyone would have thought I had tried to recreate Pippa’s dress.”
Congrats to the happy couple!
