Well finally today we saw Catherine Middelton's wedding dress and I was blown away by the vintage inspired elegant gown designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen.
The designer of Kate Middleton's wedding dress said it was the "experience of a lifetime" to be tasked with creating the exquisite gown.
Sarah Burton, of Alexander McQueen, described the bride as looking "absolutely stunning".
She said she was incredibly honoured to be asked to design the historic dress, adding: "I have enjoyed every moment of it."
The bridal dress is an ivory gown with lace applique floral detail, with the skirt resembling "an opening flower" and intricate lace detailed train.
Burton said: "It has been the experience of a lifetime to work with Catherine Middleton to create her wedding dress, and I have enjoyed every moment of it". "It was such an incredible honour to be asked, and I am so proud of what we and the Alexander McQueen team have created.
"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."
Burton added: "Catherine looked absolutely stunning today, and the team at Alexander McQueen are very proud of what we have created."
Kate also wore her brunette locks in cascading curls and a ivory silk tulle veil, which was trimmed with hand-embroidered flowers. The bride held her veil with a Cartier 'halo' tiara, lent to Kate by the Queen. She was also seen wearing diamond drop earrings by Robinson Pelham, a gift from her parents.
Pippa Middleton, the maid-of-honour, also wore a stunning full length ivory gown by McQueen while the bridesmaids wore creations by Nikki Macfarlane.
Prince William the newly appointed Duke of Cambridge arrived ahead of his bride in a red Colonel of the Irish Guards uniform created by Savile Row tailors Gieves & Hawkes, which was accented with a blue sash.
Well I definitely enjoyed the day and loved the garden inspired decorations
including eight, 20 foot high trees - to recreate a lavish English country garden inside Westminster Abbey.
Under the guidance of her ‘floral artistic director’, Shane Connolly, half a dozen English Field Maples were installed in the historic church to create a ‘Living Avenue’ under which guests will walked to their seats.
Each of the trees were placed in a planter personally designed by Mr Connolly and handcrafted by artisans on the Prince of Wales’s Highgrove estate.
