This morning I became one of the enthralled masses who watched as Katherine Middleton married Prince William of England. 1,900 quests filed into the breath taking Westminster Abbey to witness one of the most astonishing and record breaking wedding of the century.
Royal weddings have for centuries been an iconic celebration filled with grandeur and splendor. The groom wore the red coat of the Irish Guard uniform and the brides attire was shrouded in mystery. There was speculation that she would wear a dress from the design house of Alexander Mc Queen and this speculation was correct.
When she made her way to the Abbey for the ceremony her dress came into view from the waist up, a beautiful fitted bodice with lace arms and shoulders, to comply with the rule that shoulders should never be shown when inside the Abbey.
When she emerged from her car onto the red carpet the beauty of her dress was revealed, her svelte figure was highlights in a fitted bodice which flowed into a perfectly sized skirt accompanied by a rather long train which her sister Pippa carried behind her, her make up was D.I.Y and simple yet elegant and refined, her hair was curled in a natural fashion with a small tiara and veil giving Kate a sophisticated, vintage and stunning look over all.
The ceremony was simple yet grand with beautiful choral music filling the abbey as William and Kate became the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, their new official title.
I had sworn that I would not be dragged into the frenzy and rush of watching the royal wedding but to see a young couple take vows surrounded by so many people of all status' it was difficult not to be drawn in.
The fashion was excellent as were the aesthetics of the abbey and the a palace and to see a fairy tale come to life right in front of your eyes was a nice release. It was nice to delve in to world of the royals and feel part of a fantasy world just for a few hours.
It is remarkable to think that in a world like the one in which we live there is still room for such a monarchy, they are watched world wide, recognised world wide and today was a momentous occasion as a commoner joined the royal family, making this fairy tale dream more accessible to us all and proving that with love anything is possible!
