The Royal Wedding

 So, unless you were living under a rock for the last 6 months,  you would have know that there was a royal wedding planned and you will know that the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton took place yesterday (29th of April 2011) It was all over the television, radio and papers (you could not have avoided it!)

I think the moment that most people were waiting for was when she stepped out of the car at 11am at Westminster Abbey to debut her wedding dress and personally, I loved it!

The wedding dress had been kept a secret for a long time there had been many speculations as to what it would be like and who designed it. Some said she had 3 dresses (in case one was leaked to the press) and others said she designed it herself!

 Her veil was made of layers of tulle, held in place by a Cartier 'Halo' tiara (lent to her by the Queen) The dress was designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander Mc Queen. The ivory and white satin dress had long lace sleeves and the front was cut in a low V shape. The dress also had an ivory bodice which narrowed at the waist and had padded hips (which is a very Victorian tradition) The skirt of the dress was also decorated with lace flowers. The train carried by her sister Pippa, (who also wore Alexander Mc Queen) was over 6 feet long. I thought the dress was modern yet traditional. I think Kate would've looked stunning in anything, but yesterday she beamed radiantly as she married Prince William and became the Duchess of Cambridge.

Did you watch the wedding? What did you think of her dress?

Until next time...
