So one of the most eligible bachelors of our time is officially married (although Harry's still on the market for the time being). The wedding was beautiful, the hats were big, and most importantly, Kate's (sorry, Princess Catherine's) dress was flawless. Designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, this dress fit her well, and even though she was required to have sleeves, I can't imagine this dress without them. She wore a tiara, borrowed from her grandmother-in-law, with her veil, something that could be considered a controversy. Even Fergie (previously married to Prince Andrew) didn't put a tiara on until after she officially became a princess; however, I think the tiara pulled the whole outfit together beautifully. The veil itself was ivory tuile and the Royal School of Needlework hand-embroidered flowers on the edges. The lace on the dress was handmade in England specifically for Kate's dress, so no other lace in the world is exactly like it. Made of ivory and white satin, the dress had more fullness than I would have expected from her (I was actually expecting her to wear a dress closer to what her sister wore - a very simple white dress), but it worked for her.
For more information about the dress (or how she literally kept her dress under lock and key until she put it on this morning in order to keep both her husband and the public from seeing it) and the royal wedding in general, go to
