The wedding Royal Wedding cake, designed by Fiona Cairns, was a multi-tiered traditional fruit cake. The cake, which was decorated with cream and white icing, had a strong British floral theme using elements of the Joseph Lambeth technique.
The Images of the Royal Wedding are all over the place, and everyone is talking about the stunning lace wedding dress designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen that Kate wore for the big day. I really couldn’t think of a more appropriate dress for Kate! How do you like it?
I remember when I shared this with you "Delicate-looking yet strong, and rich with history, lace is sort of like the bride herself. It covers while revealing, and can add a touch of centuries-gone-by grace to your wedding ensemble. A bride who wears lace pays tribute to a time-honored tradition." So true!
And just a few hours ago I was chatting with my Facebook friends about how I saw a few lace long-sleeved wedding dresses at NYC Bridal Market. Was it a big trend for 2012? I’m not sure. But I know one thing, after the Royal Wedding long-sleeved wedding dresses are going to be everywhere. If you want to get this look, here are a few great options.
Let's begin the lace parade with my favorite three dresses, all of them from Romona Keveza Spring 2012
Happy Royal Wedding day! Any thoughts about the Royal Wedding? I’ll be honest, I was expecting more. But, it was still a fabulous event. Keeping up with the Wedding of the Century, yesterday I shared with you wedding dresses inspired on princesses. Today, I bring you this entire photo shoot inspired on a Princess Bride. Very elegant, very classy, very timeless… just like Princess Catherine!
William’s and Kate’s Royal Wedding has being called “A Modern Fairy Tale”. But, most brides I know are wary of fairy tales and princesses, at least traditional ones. Ever since Diana, the dream of wearing a tiara has been kind of tarnished.
But Kate Middleton might make being a princess cool again. Unlike Diana, who was plucked from her already privileged life, Miss Middleton, a commoner (who looks uncommonly good in a bikini), has not been passive. She has worked for her fairy tale, which makes it more of a fairy tale.
In case the Royal Wedding event encouraged you to be a princess for a day, I have the perfect bridal gowns for a Modern Fairy Tale Princess, Disney Fairy Tale Weddings by Alfred Angelo. They have dresses for every kind of bride and every single gown has been inspired by each one of the legendary Disney Princesses.
Cinderella's gown radiates with sparkle as its inspiration is the fairy tale's enchanted glass slipper.
Aurora/Sleeping Beauty's gown is romantic with a dreamy, willowy skirt for this slumbering princess.
Snow White's dress (my favorite) is inspired by nature, beauty and grace like the Disney Princess character herself.
The treasures of the sea inspired Ariel's gown. The mermaid silhouette features re-embroidered lace, pearl beading, and sequin sparkles.
Jasmine's wedding dress conveys freedom and individuality and as a result her shimmering soft satin gown is exotic with a bejeweled neckline and low cut back.
Belle's wedding dress, with a draped waistline is inspired by the iconic ballroom dance scene from the film and focuses on making a grand entrance. The regal, one-shoulder taffeta gown for our newest princess, Tiana, reflects her independent spirit with an asymmetric bodice and ruched skirt.
Sneak peek footage of the gowns can be seen in this behind the scenes video.
I know it’s Monday, and I’m sure you have lots of fun and exciting things planned for the Wedding of the Century, so I have a great way for you to start your Royal Wedding week. I believe that timelessness is going to be the main characteristic of theevent. So, on that note, let me start by sharing with you these beautiful nuptials that remained me so much of my own wedding six years ago. In my books, classic never goes out of style and this El Paso wedding is pumping some much needed classic elegance into my Belle veins.
From the Bride... "First and more importantly my wedding was the day I got to marry my soul mate in front of my family and friends. I would describe my wedding day as very romantic, traditional, and it had that vintage feel to it that you don't see much now of days. I'm a very conservative person so for my wedding...... we went all out but yet played it safe. I was not willing to risk anything for a trend that's in at the moment and when I look back at pictures over the years I didn't want to say "What were we thinking!". I wanted everything as perfect as I imagined since I was a little girl which I felt did turn out that way. Of course that was accomplished with careful planning and patience. I am very happy the way it turned out but most importantly because that's the day I got to marry my best friend."
Happy Earth-Day! We’ve been chatting about eco-conscious and natural inspired weddings all week and I thought that the perfect follow-up would be this incredible nature centric e-session that one of our favorite photographers, Jessica Santiesteban from Ideology Photography, shot at one of the dearest places to me, Majalca, Mexico. It’s a little town close to my hometown Chihuahua, Mexico. During middle school and high school, we used to camp here or we stayed at my friend’s country-house. It was a safe haven to escape from the chaos of the city and be closer to nature. And that is exactly was this couple was aiming for, natural surroundings. The groom is an interior decorator, so the props and details are fabulous. And to make it even more extraordinary let me tell you that there is a tip-in. As you can see, this couple clearly knows how to have some fun and the fabulous work from Ideology Photography is the perfect compliment to their creative personalities.
