A McQueen Gown for the Royal Bride

The day when fairytale became reality saw the elegant Buckleberry bride marry her prince in a divine Alexander McQueen gown designed by Sarah Burton.  The now Duchess of Cambridge was positively glowing in her ivory and white satin floor-length gazar gown, with a full skirt and elegant white English and French chantilly lace heart-shaped bodice- narrowed at the waist and padded at the hips- a signature McQueen trademark. The bride’s face was covered by a delicate veil, crowned by a 1936 Cartier tiara on loan from her now grandmother-in-law.  Honouring the royal tradition, Catherine Middleton’s posey contained a sprig of myrtle taken from the tree planted in Queen Victoria’s garden; all royal brides including Diana have carried a myrtle sprig from the same tree on their wedding days.

The ceremony couldn’t have gone more smoothly, and with the vows said, spectators’ attention then eagerly turned to the balcony as we witnessed that slightly awkward ‘peck’ followed by a second newlyweds’ kiss.  Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge! With most of the officialities over, the royal couple can let their hair down a bit and enjoy the festivities-well perhaps not Wills, given his brother’s doing the best man speech.


Kate Middleton’s Wedding Dress – Your Thoughts

Less than 24 hours before her wedding day, Kate Middleton’s wedding dress remains shrouded in mystery.  With the world and his wife trying to guess the designer of the Prince’s soon to be wife’s dress, it’s no wonder the Guardian decided to send out an opinion poll on the matter.  ‘Crowdsourcing’ the event, readers predicted a LibĂ©lula dress in ivory for the bride.  Our choice too- we happen to be big LibĂ©lula fans! (And we should mention, have a lovely range of LibĂ©lula dresses available to hire).  But for now, back to Kate Middleton’s wedding dress.  Of the 3,000 people that took part in the Guardian’s poll, 20% plumped for Temperley to dress the bride on her fast-approaching big day.

Kate Middleton’s Wedding Dress – Your Predictions

Inspired by this public effort, we decided to ask you on your Kate Middleton wedding dress designer favourite. Amongst some of the answers we got, popular choices included Kate Middleton designing the wedding dress herself, while other Tweeters hoped to be see Kate Middleton in a Libélula dress tomorrow.  Alexander McQueen (of course) featured on the Twitter grapevine, as did Issa, a strong candidate, that is, if Kate Middleton plumps for a non-British designer- unexpected, but then, perhaps it would prove a welcome surprise!


Kate Middleton’s Wedding Dress -Who (will have) dunnit?

Kate Middleton’s wedding dress is currently by far the most hotly contested issue in Britain, and perhaps even the world. Wedding dress designers in the running  as top candidates to be designing Kate Middleton’s wedding dress have the following odds stacked against them:

Kate Middleton’s wedding dress designer to  be Sarah Burton: 4/11

Kate Middleton’s wedding dress designer to be Phillipa Lepley: 5/2

Kate Middleton’s wedding dress designer to be Libelula/Sophie Cranston: 9/2

Kate Middleton’s wedding dress designer to be Bruce Oldfield: 9/2

Kate Middleton’s wedding dress designer to be Alice Temperley: 5/1

Kate Middleton’s wedding dress designer to be Christopher Bailey: 5/1

Kate Middleton’s wedding dress designer to be Jasper Conran: 7/1

Amongst betting shop Paddy Power’s terms and conditions was that the wedding had to take place before the end of 2012 (there’s really no going back now for Katie, is there?) and that the designer had to be confirmed by a royal spokesperson.   For those who aren’t on the money for Katie’s bridal gown at the official ceremony, they can always bet on the designer of her evening dress, how late she is, the length of her train, or on her tiara choice.  Then there’s even the sermon length, sermon clichĂ©s, and the colour of the Queen’s hat- reassurance for Katie-in-waiting that at least in the betting world not all the focus is on her.

The In Vogue Designers for Kate Middleton’s Wedding Dress

The world and his wife are still beside themselves as to who Kate’s wedding dress designer will be, with a flurry of designers passing ‘in’ and ‘out’ of bridal-gown-authorship-vogue every day.  Last week saw a media frenzy sparked around the prospect of a Libelula wedding dress for Kate, following her being spotted in a Libelula coat earlier that year.  Subsequently, the boutique’s website crashed, given the unexpected onslaught of press attention and publicity such speculation had brought for the Chelsea based dress boutique.  Just a day before the royal nuptials, Bruce Oldfield was reported to have ruled himself out, as did Dame Vivienne Westwood, who intimated that Kate and her label were not natural style bedfellows.  And what with Alice Temperley reported to be dressing Kate’s mother and sister Pippa, it would seem a bit unlikely Kate Middleton’s wedding dress would be coming from the same designer.

Sarah Burton or Jasper Conran – Still Contenders for the Bridal Gown Design?

The obvious answers of Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen and Jasper Conran (reported in the Telegraph as a ‘safe choice for a classic bride’) seem to have been heard on the grapevine for so long that speculation around these designers has already waned.  And then what about non-British designer – Kate’s daytime dress go-to favourite and the designer she wore for her engagement, Issa?  Frankly, all this speculation is growing rather tiring.  It’s almost as if we’d have been content for Nina Ricci creative director Olivier Theyskens to have given it away while he was being interviewed the other day at Tribeca Film Festival- something which very nearly happened, as he blurted out that he ‘[knew] who does it!’ when interviewed.

Kate Middleton’s Wedding Dress – Enough is Enough!

Enough with the speculation! Even Grazia, who purported to be giving us some concrete info about the dress, following Paula Reed being present at the rehearsal this morning was only able to offer an update regarding Kate Middleton’s train length being 4-5 metres long, and nothing much to do with the dress itself. Whoever the designer, Kate Middleton’s wedding dress will go down in history and like Miss Middleton herself, succeed in winning everyone over.
