Cinnamon Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I know some aren't interested,but for those who are,what are your thoughts on the most highly anticipated part of tomorrows wedding.....Kates dress? I am leaning toward Bruce Oldfield for the designer. I think it will be ivory rather than white,with a modest train. I am picturing something almost medieval in style,similar to Fionas dress in Shrek. Simple,elegant but with a bit of an edge I would love to see the bridesmaids in a colour too,maybe a soft leafy green. I have heard that there will be a nod to Diana in the dress,I just hope it hasn't got sleeves like cream puffs like hers did Maybe Kate will wear the tiara Di did? Looking forward to that first glance,and the subsequent knock offs an hour or two later in the shops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 ive heard that the queen has lent Kate a tiara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MummyHen Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I can't wait to see the dress Not sure of the designer may be it'll be a newbie Definitely ivory not white I think it'll have a long train aka Dianna It won't have a huge skirt - something straight with some embellishment but not OTT Let’s hope it won't crease like Diana’s did May be flowers in her hair to start with and then change into a tiara when they sign the register like Sarah did I wonder if she'll wear a necklace - Diana didn't, Sarah and Sophie did I hope the commentators won't go on and on about the celebs and what they are wearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Ivory sleeveless, slightly A line. I think very plain with tiny crystals on the bodice. I too think there will be a train - quite a large one. I'm wondering if the Diana tribute on the dress will be an embroidered or satin rose? I think her hair will be loose & her bouquet just ivory roses & ivy. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 I do hope she has flowers in her hair,as was her wish. I am already loving the avenue of trees in the Abbey,and the home grown natural flowers there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 5 year old Georgia, who after making a crown at school today considers herself an expert on Royal fashion, says that Kate will wear white and so will the bridesmaids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoice Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Not sure how much they'd let Kate deviate from tradition (Diana wanted to be traditionally late and she was only allowed to be 30 secs late) but as all royal weddings in a church, certain rules of decorum must be observed. Royal brides wear dresses that cover their shoulders and at least their upper arms. When Prince William’s cousin Peter Phillips was married, his bride wore a lace shrug over her strapless dress. I like the tradition of a sprig of myrtle (The herb of love) in the bouquet taken from the same plant that Victoria took hers from, I hope Kate keeps that. (Random fact I found out today: Apparently she's allergic to horses! Oh dear, they couldn't place more horses together in one place if they tried!)

Redwing Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I reckon it will be a Vera Wang style slim simple dress I also think Kate will go against her trademark look and wear her hair up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 (Random fact I found out today: Apparently she's allergic to horses! Oh dear, they couldn't place more horses together in one place if they tried!) I thought she grew up on a horse farm? Mind you, it is recommended to take a pinch of salt with whatever the friend who told me that says! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear, they couldn't place more horses together in one place if they tried! A friend of mine told me that too, I wonder if it is true or not. No thoughts to offer on the dress I am afraid, the young children at school think it will have a long long long train Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'm hoping for something elegant and not too over the top. I also don't think that they're 'allowed' to wear strapless. I actually prefer sleeves in wedding dresses. I think her hair is gorgeous down but wonder if it would work properly if she has a veil - Diana's looked a bit flat after a while. I still think its a shame that what we all remember from Diana's wedding is the fact that the dress was so creased up - you can almost forgive the meringue as that was just the style of the day (well I can as I had a bit of a meringue ). I love the thought of Kate having flowers in her hair. I also like seeing what everyone else is wearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 The BBC seem to think it's an Alexander McQueen dress as they think Sarah Burton arrived at the Goring hotel yesterday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I reckon it will be a Vera Wang style slim simple dress I also think Kate will go against her trademark look and wear her hair up I think Vera Wang too and lily of the valley in her flowers.

The Dogmother Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I think it will be simple and bias cut, modest design with her shoulders covered. Ivory, matte not shiny, and the flowers will look natural instead of formal and contrived..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hoping for something plain and simple, no train, a bit medieval, hair up at sides and flowers in her hair. I thought the designer was an Alexander McQueen underling?? I hope there is no 'nod' to Diana's dress, as I thought it was awful, like a screwed up old tissue!

Chucky Mama Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 The bookies seem to think the designer will be Sarah Burton (whoever she is) as they have her at 1/20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Am now thinking Alice Temperly,or McQueen. She does great frocks and I could see Kate carrying off her style really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Absolutely love Kate's dress, it suits her so much, it reminds me of my mum's dress from 1958 (the top bit anyway). Absolutely gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 I thought it was perfect. Just the right mix of drama & simpleness - & the train wasn't too long either The bridesmaids all looked lovely too, & I really liked Kates flowers & the flowers the bridesmaids held. The Queen looked sweet in her primrose yellow & Camilla & Anne both looked great. But sadly I thought Beatrice & Eugenie looked awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I agree about Eugenie - didn't see enough of Beatrice although her hat looked a bit ott to me. I thought Camilla and Mrs Middleton looked stunning, very understated but elegant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
