The Wedding of The Century

Cheerio!!


Did you miss us??  We have been overloaded with work lately so we haven't had the time to blog but we felt this was too important to miss out on!  We woke up at 3:45 (yes, 3:45 A.M.) to watch history in the making: The Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.  Pomp, tradition and fairytale were the three words on everyone's lips this week leading up to the wedding.  We want to share with you our thoughts on the entire affair!! But where to begin???


First our obvious FASHION FIXATION du jour is most definitely the dress.  Pure. Perfection.  That was all we could think of as, then Catherine Middleton, exited her hotel and got into the car that would take her and her father Michael, to Westminster Abbey.  All we could see through the windows was the beautiful lace bodice and the perfect veil, not to mention her gorgeous hairstyle (half up, half down and perfectly curled) and makeup (which she did herself!!!),  but that was more than enough for the 2 billion viewers of the nuptials to realize that she was the absolute embodiment of a princess.  She made her way to the venue smiling and waving demurely to the adoring crowds the entire way.  She finally arrived and the world was let in on the best kept secret of the past few months.  She stepped out of the car and we were instantly transported to Monaco in 1956 and Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly's iconic lace wedding gown.  A vision in white silk and lace, Catherine made her way into the Abbey.  The dress was a perfectly tailored lace over a sweet-heart bodice which led into a full silk skirt accented with lace on the bottom of the skirt- a perfect silhouette.  The dress was also adorned with a cathedral train slightly over eight feet long.  Catherine was the embodiment of elegance, grace and class in this truly iconic gown.  The designer who created this masterpiece of a royal wedding dresses is Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton.  The perfection however did not stop with the dress. Her tiara was a vintage Cartier diamond tiara given to her by the Queen.  


Catherine and her father made their way up the aisle to her prince.  Prince William who wore the Irish Guards uniform looked like a real-life Prince Charming.  The striking red jacket was adorned with medals and a blue sash and was complemented by the red stripe down the side of his black pants.  


The Wedding was absolute perfection.  A completely emotional experience to all who watched.  The loving couple said their vows and left the Abbey to return to Buckingham Palace in the traditional carriages.  Beaming and waving they rode through the streets of London to the deafening cheers from the crowds.  When they arrived back at the palace they made their way onto the balcony to greet their public as the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.  The world swooned as we watched the amazingly happy couple share not one but two history-making kisses. 


This Royal Wedding definitely lived up to The Wedding of the Century!
