The Queen's granddaughter was back at work today, launching a range of children's equestrian clothing just days after the couple's wedding at Edinburgh's Canongate Kirk. Tindall returned to training yesterday.
Zara, who will still be known by her maiden name, said: ''The day was amazing and to have all of your friends there in one place, for both of us, was the best part of it.
''Unfortunately both of us do have quite busy lives so it's going to have to wait a bit for a honeymoon, but it is quite nice to go back to work as well.
''We're kind of missing the quiet period where we can catch up and have some sleep. It's back to work and that's what we do.''
She said the day had been nerve-wracking, adding: ''Everyone looked really serious when I walked in.
Zara denied reports that her cousin William - who married Kate Middleton in April - had been singing Bon Jovi's Livin' On A Prayer at karaoke during Saturday's celebrations, telling reporters if anyone had been singing it would have been her husband.
''There was no karaoke. I think there was assistance with the band, but that was about it,'' she said.
The eventing world champion today unveiled her first children's equestrian collection at Manor Farm, in Upper Slaughter, Gloucestershire.
The collection, named ZP 176 Kids, has been made in collaboration with clothing brand Musto, which already has an adult clothing range with Zara, and will form part of the autumn and winter 2011 collection.
Zara said she hoped to encourage enthusiasm among young riders.
The royal bride, 30, said she was excited to be Mrs Tindall, but she will remain Zara Phillips to preserve her sporting name.
"I'm very much Mrs Tindall and will be privately and I'm sure publicly as well, but just for professional and sponsors I'm going to keep Phillips as well - I'll keep both of them!"
Zara, who will be competing in the Gatcombe Park horse trials later this week, showed off her new range of clothing. It was modelled by keen Pony Club members, including two of her god-daughters - Nell Maude, 11, and Jaz Jocelyn, 8.
30-year-old said the couple has a busy life and has to delay the post-wedding trip.
She told the Associated Press: "We're kind of missing the quiet period where we can catch up and have some sleep."
Her cousin, Prince William, also delayed his honeymoon with the former Kate Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge, following their wedding in April.
Phillips, who does not use a royal title, married Tindall on Saturday in a low-key, private ceremony in Edinburgh, Scotland, followed by a reception at the Palace of Holyroodhouse that reportedly went on into the early hours of the morning.
She said she has decided to keep her maiden name for professional and sponsorship purposes, but will be known as Mrs. Tindall in private.
