to the happy couple

Despite being beyond bored of the hype surrounding the royal wedding it was pretty much compulsory to switch on for a glimpse of Kate floating up the aisle in what was sure to be a monumental, historical dress, which of course it was. Who isn’t thrilled for Sarah Burton, McQueen and the amazing job they did designing such a unique and elegant dress? The dress was satin and Chantilly lace from England and France and had the McQueen tradition of a narrowed waist and padded hips fastened with 50 gazar and organza buttons with a Grace Kelly feel to the whole creation. The embroiderers (who were completely unaware of who had designed the dress) changed their needles every three hours to keep them sharp and clean as well as washing their hands every 30 minutes to keep the thread and lace in pristine condition. Naturally a perk to marrying into the royal family is sharing with the queen – her Cartier halo tiara from 1963 of course.

ps. Pippa Middleton is hot news! 

be safe boys and girls xo'
