Meet the Irish designer behind Taylor Swift's wedding dress
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have reportedly worked with Derry designer Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women's, Men’s, and Haute Couture Collections, to create their ceremonial wedding looks.
A publicist working on behalf of the couple sent a press release to People magazine that stated:
"The bride and groom's wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom. This is the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity."
Additionally, the couple are said to have worn custom-made shoes by Christian Louboutin, while the bride wore Cartier jewellery.
Photos of the event have yet to be released.

Anderson, who hails from Magherafelt, has been making waves in the fashion world since he was announced as the sole artistic director of Dior just one year ago.
He made history with that appointment by becoming the first designer since Christian Dior himself to oversee men's, women's and couture at the French fashion house.
Additionally, he remains the head designer of his own label, JW Anderson, which he established in 2008.
This is seemingly the first time that Swift has worn a dress from Anderson, although she was photographed carrying a limited edition Lady Dior bag - one of the designer's early offerings to the French fashion house - this past April.

As the statement said, Anderson has never before created a wedding look for a "world-renowned celebrity", but he has dabbled in bridal couture.
Just last month, the Northern Irish designer created a custom couture wedding dress for Chinese supermodel Ming Xi, for her marriage to businessman Mario Ho.
It seems that we can expect to see more bridal looks from the Creative Director, who will deliver his second Dior Couture collection in Paris on 6 July.
