The Royal Wedding: Part 1

Kate Middleton, you're a stunner!

This is what I thought her wedding dress would look along the lines of:


Minimal, classic, elegant and figure-hugging, with lace details to cover her shoulders and flowers in her hair.  It wasnt until I saw her actual dress that I realised my version was nowhere near appropriate enough for such a formal event as a royal wedding!


The top-half of her dress was breathtaking - the V-neck was just the right depth to be feminine but not vulgar, and the lace was classic yet modern.  The bottom-half of the gown wasnt to my taste but nevertheless it fit the occasion and her style perfectly.  I loved her tiara and was glad that she wore some of her hair loose for a softer look.  Her makeup was good but I think she should have hired someone to do it for her instead of undertaking it herself.  Here's why:


With a pretty face like that you really cant go wrong, but the eyeliner she insists on using every day for the entire rim of her eyes is too harsh.  I noticed that her sister Pippa and mother also do this so it's possibly a case of bad habits being passed down.  I think that she would suit a soft brown pencil liner starting mid-eye which would accentuate her eyes softly and bring out the blue.  Her eyebrows are also a touch too dark and more colour on her lips would have completed the look.  But as I said, she's completely gorgeous naturally.

As for Prince William?  Spiffing.  Equally so was Prince Harry.  It was interesting to see the maid of honour's as well as the flower girl's dresses were white like Kate's.  I had also pictured a much different bouquet but after reading the sentimental value of the combination of flowers and sprigs, it made more sense.  The funniest moments were watching Will hammer poor Kate's finger during the ring ceremony, and lip-reading his countdown of their kiss on the balcony.  At least it turned out well in the end, and with a 100 million pound cost you would certainly hope that it would!
