Middleton Wedding Fashion Day Through to Night

As I said in my last post, the world was in anticipation of what Kate Middleton was going to wear on her big day, but we cannot forget the other Middleton ladies, who looked stunning throughout.

:: KATE MIDDLETON ::

Kate's second dress is a strapless white satin gazar evening dress with a circle skirt and diamante embroidered detail round the waist.

:: PIPPA MIDDLETON ::

Pippa Middleton's slinky white cowl-neck dress showed off her slender figure, while the cap sleeves kept it youthful. The back of the dress was studded with tiny silk-covered buttons.

Later, for the evening meal, she changed into a long emerald green sleeveless dress with a jewelled embellishment on the front and a plunging neckline.

:: CAROLE MIDDLETON ::

Kate's mother Carole started the day in powder blue later changing into a black capped sleeve dress, cut low at the front and back, with a tiered skirt.

Style must run in the family...

Here Comes the McQueen

Yesterday Kate Middleton married her Prince Charming in a magnificent wedding gown designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen.

I must admit that high up on the list of reasons that I was glad to have the day off work and watch the Royal Wedding was because I was absolutely dying to see what Kate was going to wear, as I'm sure were half the population.

The new Duchess of Cambridge did not disapoint. Wearing a stunning white lace and satin Alexander McQueen gown designed by Sarah Burton, Kate was the picture of perfection as she walked down the ailse to meet her Prince.


The bride was heavily involved in designing the dress - working closely with Burton to ensure it would be a combination of both the traditional and the modern, yet in keeping with the Alexander Lee McQueen vision and attention to detail.

We can't help but think that the elegant lace appliqué bodice echo's that of the iconicly stylish Grace Kelly's own wedding dress.

Both gowns shared a high-waisted, full-skirted silhouette with a long, dramatic train, and were worn with the sheerest of veils and diamond tiaras.

Of the dress Sarah Burton has been quoted in saying,"I am delighted that the dress represents the best of British craftsmanship".

"Alexander McQueen's designs are all about bringing contrasts together to create startling and beautiful clothes and I hope that by marrying traditional fabrics and lacework, with a modern structure and design we have created a beautiful dress for Catherine on her wedding day."

"Catherine looked absolutely stunning today, and the team at Alexander McQueen are very proud of what we have created."

Here, here I say.

Loves,
