Mel B Ditches Leopard Print for Traditional White Wedding with Rory McPhee

Spice Up Your Life: Mel B's Regal Wedding Plans Revealed!

The Queen of Spice, Mel B, is finally tying the knot with her dashing beau Rory McPhee in a lavish ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral next weekend! And trust us, folks, it's going to be a wedding fit for royalty!

As we reported last year, Mel was set to wed Victoria Beckham-designed gown, but sources close to the starlet have spilled the beans that she's opted for a stunning British designer Josephine Scott creation instead. And let's just say, this perfectly traditional, English white wedding is going to be the stuff of fairytales!

Sources told The Mail's Alison Boshoff that she will wear British designer Josephine Scott for the service on Saturday, July 5 at St Paul's Cathedral (pictured with her fiancé Rory)

But what's even more fascinating is that Mel will wear an entirely different, and far flashier, gown by US wedding designer Justin Alexander, for the second ceremony at a Moroccan hotel later in July! Talk about a dress code change, am I right?

Mel has been keeping her fans guessing all along, but it seems she's finally decided to go for the full-on English regalia – complete with organ music, hats, and fascinators! And as if that wasn't enough, there will be a small reception in London afterwards, because why not?!

But, we can't help but wonder: will Mel's former Spice Girls bandmates join in on the fun? As reported earlier this month, Mel C and Emma Bunton made an appearance at her 50th birthday bash in Leeds with their partners in tow. We're crossing our fingers they'll all come together to celebrate Mel's special day!

The star said: ¿This will be a very formal, English wedding where I want to feel regal and very proper. All the ladies will wear hats or fascinators' (pictured in her leopard print in 2023)

However, it remains to be seen if Geri Halliwell-Horner and Victoria Beckham will make an appearance. After all, we know the drama between them has been simmering for years! Let's just hope they can put their differences aside for one fabulous day.

We've also heard rumors about Mel's previous marriage to Stephen Belafonte, who she accused of emotional and physical abuse after their split in 2016. It's no secret that Mel grew close to Rory after the breakdown of her marriage, and we're thrilled she's found love again!

As a friend of Mel's revealed: 'It's a very traditional dress and service will be totally traditional... she'll come down the aisle to organ music!' And honestly, who wouldn't want that?!

This will be the third wedding for Mel, who is 50 and a mother of three - Phoenix, 26, Angel, 18, and Madison, 13 (pictured together)

Mel has always been known for her bold style and fearless attitude, but it seems she's finally embracing her inner English rose. We can't wait to see the photos of this fairytale wedding!

So, get ready for a weekend filled with romance, glamour, and possibly even some Spice Girls drama! Stay tuned for more updates from The Scholarly Note (formerly Dailymail.com).
