We're looking…Royal Wedding

Author: bear125

It's official-Kate and William are married! What we expected most in this royal wedding is the wedding gown. Let's check what they wear in the big day.

Bridal Gown

Kate wore an ivory and white satin gazar Alexander McQueen ball gown designed by Sarah Burton. Her hair, styled by James Pryce of the Richard Ward Salon, was worn half up. The Cartier "halo" tiara she wore had originally been presented to the Queen on her 18th birthday. Kate's diamond earrings were by Robinson Pelham and were a gift from her parents.Kate opted to do her own makeup after receiving several private lessons with Arabella Preston, a London makeup artist.

Flower Girls & Pageboys

Kate's bridal party included Grace van Cutsem (Will's goddaughter) and Eliza Lopes (Camilla's granddaughter), both age 3, as well as Lady Louise Windsor (Will's cousin), 7, and Margarita Armstrong-Jones (Will's second cousin), 8. All of the young bridesmaids wore custom white satin gazar dresses with pale gold sashes, designed by Nicki MacFarlane.The Prince's godson, Tom Pettifer, and Billy Lowther-Pinkerton, the son of Will's secretary, served as pageboys.

Bridesmaid

Kate's younger sister Pippa served as maid of honor and wore an ivory satin-based crepe gown with a cowl neckline, designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen. The bridesmaid dress is simple but elegant.

The Bouquet

Kate carried a small, shield-shaped wired bouquet of myrtle, lily-of-the-valley, Sweet William, and hyacinth.

The Kisses

At 1:25 p.m., the newlyweds appeared on the palace balcony to share a public kiss, a tradition begun by Charles and Diana. Royal Air Force planes flew overhead before the couple kissed once more (to the delight of everyone watching!), and then returned inside for a buffet-style wedding breakfast for 600, hosted by the Queen.

The Cake

The official Royal Wedding cake was a multi-tiered traditional fruitcake by British cake designer Fiona Cairns. The cake was decorated with the couple's new cipher and each tier had a different floral theme. The English rose, Scottish thistle, Welsh daffodil, and Irish shamrock were all featured, as were Sweet William, lilies of the valley, and acorns (an architectural detail featured in the Picture Gallery where the cake was displayed).

A chocolate biscuit cake was also served. A childhood favorite of Will's, the cake was made by the McVitie's biscuit company and contained 35 pounds of chocolate and 1,700 McVitie's Rich Tea biscuits.
