The Royal Wedding: Best and Worst Dressed

The Best 

 Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and Prince Daniel of Sweden

 

John Bercow and Sally Bercow

Some argued that Sally Bercow's cleavage was a bit too much but from this picture the first thing I notice is her lovely lace dress not her cleavage.

The daughters of Earl Spencer sit in the pews at Westminster Abbey.

 

 Zara Phillips

 

 Last but not least, Hollywood power couple David and Victoria Beckham. 

He wore a smart morning suit by Ralph Lauren Purple Label, she wore a dress from her own collection, specially-made Louboutins, and a Philip Treacy hat. 

Update: Here are some fashionable guests that I had originally missed

 

Joss Stone 

The singer chose to ditch her usual hippie and bohemian attire for a much more appropriate and flattering look. She appears to be in quite a good mood in this particular picture.

Princess Letizia of Asturias

I actually love what she's wearing but I originally couldn't find a decent photo of her standing alone.

 

The Duchess of Cornwall

Carole Middleton

How could I forget the bride's mother ? 

I'm sure she was just as nervous as her daughter - no one wants to embarrass the royal family. She chose to dress classic and understated but she appears to have gotten the last laugh.

Carole wore a design from Catherine Walker who happened to be one of the most important women in Princess Diana’s life. She died of breast cancer in September last year, but the label she founded lives on.

Read more about Carole and her choice of attire here.

The Worst (and most Comical)

 

Princess Eugenie of York in Vivienne Westwood and Princess Beatrice of York in Valentino haute couture.

These two together looked comical but I think Princess Beatrice could have made the best dressed list if she wore a different hat. While Philip Treacy designs many gorgeous couture hats (many worn by Lady Gaga) I personally think that the hat takes away from her face and doesn't compliment her beautiful outfit but most importantly trying to make a ridiculous statement like this has no place in a royal wedding - or any wedding for that matter.

The Royal Wedding: Randoms

I'm pretty much done posting about the Royal wedding and for the day actually. It's nearly 3 am and I haven't done any homework and I probably wont get anything done until morning.

Here are just randoms and fun pictures I've found

The Royal Wedding: The Reception Dress

\

Kate Middleton followed up her highly-anticipated wedding dress with an evening outfit created by the same designer.Kate’s second Burton outfit for the evening celebrations was a strapless white satin gazar evening gown with a circle skirt and diamante embroidered detail round the waist. She was also wearing a white angora bolero cardigan.

Below is a picture to remind you of her first dress (wedding dress) by Sarah Burton.

The Royal Wedding: Grace Van Cutsem (the bridesmaid)

 

The roar of the crowd proved to be too much for one of the bridesmaids, Grace Van Cutsem

 

Kate here seems to be trying to comfort her afterwards, 

 

Here she is again, seeming finding something on the floor.

Pippa is just as gorgeous as Kate.

 

In the US, bridesmaids (and guests) usually stray far away from wearing white at a wedding, but the UK follows a different tradition. According to old superstition, bridesmaids are supposed to dress similar to the bride to ward off evil spirits, hence the white dresses. Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, dressed her sister, Pippa Middleton, in a white Alexander McQueen gown along with her accompanying adorable party. 

Would you do the same or prefer being the only one wearing white on your special day?

I personally feel I'm too young to think about marriage but I think I wouldn't mind if my bridesmaids wore white, especially if they were so small and cute.

The Royal Wedding: Many Preparations

The UK was quite busy preparing for the Royal Wedding. Check out some of the various pictures of people getting ready

The two 100 meter square brick murals, which contain 8,300 bricks and 7,500 half bricks of different shades, will stay in place for three months to celebrate the royal wedding in London.

 Now who wants to be married to a prince ? lmao

The Royal Wedding: Comparison

Grace Kelly and Kate Middleton both wore gowns with similar necklines and white lace sleeves.

How many of you were able to see the similarities of the dress to Grace Kelly, an actress who also married a prince in 1956?

Below I have other past royal weddings.

The Royal Wedding: The Unveiling of the Dress

If any of you have been following the royal wedding up until today (technically yesterday now) - most have but I haven't - many of you may have already seen Kate Middleton wearing a gorgeous Alexander McQueen dress by Sarah Burton. Here is her dress from different angles

The Royal Wedding: Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Somthing Blue

Many brides include something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue in their wedding getups. Granted, not everyone's "somethings" are quite as fancy as Kate's but her is the blinged-out breakdown from Britain's Press Association.

Something old: The bridal gown, from Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, featured “traditional Carrickmacross craftsmanship,” a lace technique that dates back to the 1800s.

Something new: Her parents gifted their daughter with custom-made diamond oak-leaf earrings with a diamond-encrusted acorn set in the middle, a nod to their new family crest.

Something borrowed: Kate’s tiara, on loan from the queen herself, per royal wedding tradition, is a 1936 Cartier “halo.”

Something blue: We can't see it, but a blue ribbon is sewn into the interior of her dress.

The Royal Wedding: Happy Campers

Hundreds of thousands — men and women, young and old, from all over the world are camping out in droves at The Mall outside Westminster Abbey. My favourite group of campers were these two men. They scored bonus points for the Burger King crown.

I thought I would compare them to past groups of people who have camped out to see other royal couples.

ChicMuse: Big Hat and Winged Eyeliner

 

 

 Denni from Paris fashion blog Chic Muse

I don't know how many people can pull off such a big hat in such a chic way but Denni can add her name to the list of people who can.  I love her bold style and fearlessness when it comes to trends. Even in all black she seems to look effortlessly cool.

Love her winged eyeliner and red lipstick.
