Holly Ramsay's bridesmaids have become the unlikely centre of attention after their wedding bouquets were hilariously compared to bunches of spring onions by eagle-eyed social media users.
Floral Faux Pas or Culinary Nod?
The 25-year-old daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay married Olympic champion swimmer Adam Peaty in a lavish ceremony at Bath Abbey on Saturday, followed by a reception at the exclusive Kin House. While the bride looked radiant, it was her bridal party's choice of flowers that sparked a wave of online jokes.
The group, which included Holly's sisters Megan, 27, and Tilly, 24, as well as her sister-in-law Bethany, 32, carried elegant bouquets of calla lilies. Traditionally, these flowers symbolise purity, resurrection, beauty, and devotion. However, their long, sleek green stems and white blooms prompted a less romantic comparison from followers.
Social Media Reacts to 'On Brand' Bouquets
One quick-witted observer commented on the resemblance to the common vegetable, writing: "Gordon Ramsay's daughter having the bridesmaids carry spring onions at her wedding is so on brand." The joke was a clear nod to Holly's famous father, known for his fiery temper and culinary expertise.
Another fan quipped: "Absolutely obsessed w Gordon's influence making the bridesmaids carry in the ingredients for the wedding breakfast though. Iconique." The humour continued as others debated the exact produce, with one user insisting, "@Idk why everyone keeps saying they're 'lilies' they're clearly spring onions???" while another suggested they looked more like celery.
A Day of Joy Amidst Family Tension
The light-hearted mockery provided a contrast to the reported family feud that threatened to cast a shadow over the celebrations. It was noted that the majority of Adam Peaty's family were absent from the abbey ceremony, following a significant row that resulted in his mother, Caroline Peaty, being banned from attending altogether.
Despite the potential for drama, body language expert Judi James analysed Holly's demeanour as she arrived with her father. James told the Mirror that Holly appeared "confident and radiantly happy" and was "fully in control of her image." She noted that Gordon Ramsay seemed more nervous, glancing around protectively as crowds pressed in.
James also observed that once married, the couple's body language indicated they had successfully put the controversy aside, focusing instead on their love and enjoyment of the day. Holly and Adam have since jetted off on their honeymoon, leaving the 'spring onion' saga and family tensions behind them.
