Fashion Shines at Royal Wedding
Jan 5, 2012 Juicy Couture
The fashion at the wedding of William and Catherine, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge was second only to seeing two people so obviously in love get married.

There was an audible gasp heard around the globe as Catherine emerged from the Rolls Royce at the entrance to Westminster Abbey and viewers were finally able to get a glimpse of her wedding gown. The creation by Alexander McQueen creative director Sara Burton was perfect for a royal wedding and vaguely reminiscent of the dress worn by another non-royal, Grace Kelly, when she married her prince in Monaco in 1955.

The entire dress was covered in a lace overlay with appliqued roses,wholesale Ed hardy belts, thistles, daffodils and shamrocks (all symbols of the United Kingdom) repeated throughout. The needlework on the lace was done by the Hampton Court-based Royal School of Needlework. For her “something borrowed,” the bride wore a 1936 Cartier diamond tiara, loaned to her by Queen Elizabeth. The “something new” was a pair of diamond earrings, a wedding gift from her parents.
Royal Chic
Queen Elizabeth really doesn’t get enough credit for her fashion sense. The 85-year-old monarch, and grandmother to the groom, sported a daffodil-yellow dress and coat created by Angela Kelly, a favorite designer of the Queen. The wool crepe ensemble had decorative beading at the neckline and was topped by a matching, wide-brimmed hat. Elizabeth accented the outfit with a jeweled broach that had belonged to her mother. The whole effect was springlike and elegant.
A Classy Mum
Catherine’s mother, Carole Middleton held her own and even shone in the company of a church full of stylish women. The mother of bride, whose outfit was also designed by Sarah Burton, chose a robin’s egg blue coat and dress made of wool crepe, adorned with satin matte piping at the cuffs and waist. Her matching, saucer-shaped hat was designed by Jane Corbett.
