Fashion trends at ROYAL WEDDING


Victoria Beckham is a great designer. But she seems to be really confident about her skills as well, because she decided to attend the royal wedding ceremony in one of her own creations, a midnight blue dress from her Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 collection. She finished her look with a super-high Louboutin shoes and a stylish hat made by Philip Treacy. I love the look but probably it would be wiser to opt for a bit lighter color.
Blush tones, colour-blocking and navy blue emerged as the key trends of the stylish guests at the royal wedding.
BLUSH TONES
Pretty blush tones proved to be one of the most popular and versatile choices for guests attending the royal wedding. The supremely stylish Letizia, Princess of Asturias (L), chose to wear Felipe Varela, and made it her colour for the day, as did Princess Beatrice, who chose Valentino haute couture and a bespoke, fun hat by Philip Treacy...

BLUSH SHOES

Clockwise from top left: Princess Maxima; Princess Ameerah; Letizia, Princess of Asturias; Princess Beatrice; Justine Thornton; Samantha Cameron (who braved an open-toe sandal version); the Duchess of Kent; Carole Middleton; Sophie, Countess of Wessex and Princess Anne all opted for the spring-appropriate footwear.

FASHION AT THE ROYAL WEDDING


Kate Middleton married her Prince Charming (William) and surprised the public with her stunning gown. Speaking about the gown, Kate made a great choice when asked Sarah Burton from Alexander McQueen to design her wedding dress. The stunning ivory and satin dress looked fantastic and combined both the traditional and the modern – the way Kate wanted it.
Kate Middleton’s wedding dress featured a fabulous lace appliqué bodice with 9ft train. It is said to have been inspired by Grace Kelly’s gown for her marriage to Monegasque Prince Rainier III. To finish her look the new Queen opted for a 1936 diamond Halo tiara by Cartier, pear-shaped diamondearrings designed by Robinson Pelham, and of course the veil, made of layers of soft, ivory silk tulle with a trim of hand-embroidered flowers. Gorgeous. Absolutely.!!!!






















You can definitely never go wrong with Alexander McQueen and Sarah Burton. It’s great Kate Middleton knows that because she might have looked not that impressive if she opted another brand and designer to create her wedding gown and the dress for evening festivities.
The wedding gown was beyond fantastic, but I liked her another dress, too, very much actually. For the grand evening Catherine wore a white satin gazar and strapless gown, with silver diamante embroidery at the waist and a circle skirt. She teamed it up with a cropped angora sweater. Doesn’t it look brilliant?
