Margaery’s wedding dress is a perfect opportunity to create an absolute show stopper. (And…. to give you the cliff-notes version of my thoughts on the GoT show’s wedding gown… I don’t like it. The base is fine, and the concept of metal thorns and fabric flowers is good. It’s just the execution…. rolled ham. TT ^ TT )
This design was not an easy one to decide on… it went through a lot of options and a lot of revision. I knew I wanted to incorporate roses, thorns (like i said the show’s concept of “distracting roses/subtle thorns” is good), and a maiden cloak. And as I was thinking of a suitable maiden cloak for a Tyrell I kept thinking about Loras Tyrell’s introduction with a living cloak of flowers. Because this wedding ensemble needs to be extra. The two most powerful families in Westeros (at this moment) sealing their alliance. So red roses and pale gold for the bride with a waistband of metal thorns. (and before you ask, yes… those roses were a pain to draw/shadow/edge in gold but it was worth it!)

The wealth and power of Highgarden could have made all the difference in the fighting yet to come. And perhaps Grey Wind would have liked the smell of her as well.
