Royal From Head to Toe

The recent Royal Wedding has been the talk of the town, or more like the talk of the world. Kate Middleton took my breath away in her Alexander McQueen wedding gown.

Sarah Burton and Kate created this timeless design featuring a hand-cut French and English Chantilly lace on the skirt and bodice.  The silhouette of the skirt was inspired by an open flower design, a stunning shade of ivory. Narrow at the waist and some padding at the hips, this dress was an example of Alexander McQueen's excellence. 

Kate's veil was my favorite, it was beautifully silk lined with hand embroidered flowers. 
Her train was 9 feet long and draped over Alexander McQueen shoes, which Kate took her first royal steps in. I have never seen something so beautifully crafted, it was straight out of a fairy tale!

The royal wedding was truly a fairytale. I think that every girl in the entire world wishes they could be a princess, Kate Middleton is one lucky girl! 

While I was amazed with her beautiful gown, I did not expect to see the fashionable other royals and guests! They had the most unique hats and outfits, who knew they were so fashionable? Designer, Phillip Tracy's nude-toned hats were worn most at the event. Almost all guests wore some nude-toned outfit to kick off the summer season, beautifully and tastefully of course.
