Oh No Not Again

Yes I'm afraid it's another Royal Wedding Post, but I just found this very interesting article over at The Duchess of Devonshire's Gossip Guide to the 18th Century all about the flowers in Kate's bouquet and their traditional meanings.

My brother also found this awesome picture. I don't know who made the picture or where it came from, but it's so cool!

The Royal Wedding

Come on; don’t pretend you weren’t even a little bit curious. Although I wouldn’t call myself a royalist or anything I was pretty excited for “The Wedding of the Century” or whatever they’re calling it now. Why? I just love princesses and pretty dresses – I’m essentially still a four year old girl at heart. I love all things Disney princess related and The Princess Diaries is still one of my favourite movies.

I watched the entire ceremony and I really enjoyed it. The guests looked great (perhaps with the exception of Princess Beatrice’s Hat), the music was wonderful and there were trees inside the Abbey!

What was she thinking...

Of course what we were all waiting for was the first glimpse of Kate’s dress.

I though it looked amazing: elegant and classy but not so understated that it was boring. I’ve always been a fan of Chantilly lace so I loved the sleeves on Kate’s dress.  Apparently the dress details a rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock to represent each nation of the UK, but I couldn't see the dress well enough to notice.The dress had a very classic, timeless appeal to it, some have pointed out its similarity to the dress Grace Kelly wore when she wed Prince Rainer of Monaco.  I think it is the kind of gown that will still look beautiful 50 years in the future. I also thought her veil was particularly lovely.

My favourite thing from the wedding has got to be this though. Cartwheeling Clergy Caught on Camera
