As you all should know, William and Kate were married yesterday! An event I had truely been looking forward to and look forward to encorporating the Royal looks into my new designs. One very important piece that really caught my eye was the unique bouquet that Kate Middleton carried down the isle. Kate really played with the idea of Spring, however, she really proves to us that we can have something so simple yet so elegant. Being creative may strike the idea of possibly growing your own flowers and using them for a homemade unique bouqet easily saves you around $50, depending on how elegant you want it to look. However, this idea can be somewhat unreliable and could stress you out even more. Stay simple, like Kate, and put together a small bouquet "No bigger than your head" says Clinton Kelly from What Not To Wear. By using uncommon flowers, it can bring a wide variety of ideas to the look of things but also save you some. Kate used Lily of the Valley in her bouquet, which really brought the look of Spring into her wedding. A small variation of flowers like Lillies, Daisies, Acadia, Baby's Breath, or Carnations can be a great choice to twist into your bouquet. Finding them is easy, on the other hand, choosing the colors and style is the hard part.
Beyond the bouquet, the dress also caught my eye. The world wondered what Kate would wear, would it be fun and sexy, or modest and poofy like Queen Elizabeth's Dress. I absolutely love the dress she chose because it was actually right inbetween, it felt like she really met the look approved by many. The dress was designed by Sarah Burton, with a train approximately 12 ft. long and the lace hand sewn. I really felt Kate's feelings about the choice of dress in the beginning because not only did she want her wedding to be her own but she was going to be the married into the Royal family and amongst many very important guests. We think it's a mind scrambling experience to bring our opinionated mothers and bridesmaids along to pick out the dress, well, she had to choose her dress off of the opinionated world. She chose a sweetheart neckline, A frame gown and incased her shoulders with the unique beauty of the lace. Sexy and sophisticated for our modern day brides, and let the record be known I was in love with lace before I had even seen her gown. I have already chosen my gown, designed by Monique Lhuillier. Due to the new obsession of lace, you can usually find it popular on the handed down gowns. If no lace is present or a handed down dress is out of the question, you can always find well priced gowns with the design you seek. A good designer to keep your eyes open for is Casablanca, offering a wide variety of styles. If you're like me, you will be having your dress designed specially and you will be able to incorperate your own heart into it.
I could go on and on about my likes and ideas of the wedding that occurred today but I must rest my mind for a long day of designing. P.s. If you watched the wedding, I'm sure you must have noticed Kate's Brother, James Middleton, did not notice his tie had been ruffled up, I wanted to fly to Britian and fix it for him.
Goodnight!
