Melanie “Mel B” Browndidn’t have to search far and wide for her dream wedding dress.
Instead, the 48-year-old singer turned to her close friendVictoria Beckham. Brown revealed that her formerSpice Girlsbandmate, 49, designed one of her bridal gowns for her upcoming wedding to fiancéRory McPhee.
“Victoria actually designed my dress and my mom’s dress. It’s such a beautiful honor to get,” she said during an appearance on Monday’s episode ofToday with Hoda & Jenna.
Brown noted that she also plans to wear two other dresses on her wedding day to really make the most of the fashion moment — although, she’s still working out the fine details.
“I don’t think it would be fair to just have one. Just have as many as you want — at least three, right?” she told hostsHoda KotbandJenna Bush Hager.
“I’m going to really go for it,” she continued. “One to actually get married in, which is the proper ceremony — very proper at this church, St. Paul’s [Cathedral]. And then maybe I want to change out of that and be a bit more less… You know, I actually don’t know!”

When Brown spoke about her wedding back in September during an appearance onAustralian radio station 2DayFM, she said Beckham was keen to put her design talents to work for her longtime friend.
“I already know that Victoria wants to make me a dress,” Brown shared at the time.
She jokingly added, “I’m probably going to have many different wedding dresses, so it’s probably going to be a two-week wedding."
During herToday with Hoda & Jennachat, Brown also confirmed that she willhold her wedding at St. Paul’s Cathedral, the same London church wherePrincess Dianaand then-Prince Charlessaid “I do” in 1981. And it’s all thanks to a special honor she received from the royal family in 2022.

“Yeah, cause I have an MBE [Member of the Order of the British Empire],” she explained. “So I got an MBE for all my charity work that I’ve been doing and creating awareness for all that kind of stuff.”
Brown had previously said on 2DayFM that she was “stillwaiting to hear backfrom St. Paul’s” about her request to have her wedding at the famed cathedral.
“Because I’ve got an MBE, I can get married at the same place as Princess Diana got married, so we’ve put all our forms in and we’re waiting on them to give us a date,” she explained.

“He said, ‘I love you, you’re my best friend and I want to spend the rest of my life with you,’ " she continued.
