The Royal Wedding!

I doubt anyone would NOT have known that Prince William got married on Friday to the lovely Catherine Middleton, unless he or she has been hiding under a huge rock. Every newspaper and website/blog has written about the wedding, so I thought I'd join in too.

The now Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress had been gathering interest ever since the engagement was announced and she didn't disappoint! True to the rumours, the wedding dress was designed by Sarah Burton, the creative director for Alexander McQueen.

The beautiful creation had a lace shoulder and sleeves, with a satin bodice that had a V-neck (true to the Middleton style) and a full skirt, adorned with lace and a modest train. Radiant I think is the only word that can be used to describe her! I think that the dress was simple yet made an elegant statement and has a very timeless feel to it. Oh, and her husband looked pretty darn handsome too.

Pippa Middleton, the maid of honour and the Duchess' sister also wore a Sarah Burton custom made cowl neck gown that had a slinky yet modest feel to it. A lot has been written about how she shouldn't have worn white but who cares when the result was this stunning?! The gown was simply fabulous and set off her tan and figure perfectly.
