Royal Wedding : Is Princess Kate's Wedding Gown... like Kebaya?

First time seeing Princess Kate Middleton's wedding gown, when she takes her first step down to the aisle last Friday, reminds me to Kebaya.. as I ever wrote here on last 2 years.

 

May be Sarah Burton, Princess Kate wedding gown designer, was inspired by Kebaya

Royal Wedding : It's Sarah Burton!

The Alexander McQueen designer made Kate Middleton's wedding dress.

Burton was long-rumored to be the dressmaker, with buzz starting in March that she'd been tapped for the job. The Sunday Times of London first claimed Burton was The Chosen One and the rest of the British newspapers and, of course, Twitter really went to town.

But, Burton squelched the speculation, telling Vogue UK, "I am not doing it," and McQueen CEO Jonathan Akeroyd, who was said to have leaked the news to a colleague, which then ended up in the Times, denied the reports, remarking, "No, not at all. I am the CEO. I would know if we were doing it."
The turning point was Thursday night when a photograph of a woman appearing to be Burton was spotted entering The Goring Hotel, where Kate Middleton spent the night.

Royal Wedding Cake Time To Time

by Classic Celebration Cakes Team

Below are pictures of these wonderful cakes which were presented for the following occasions: -

• The wedding of HRH Princess Alexandra & Angus Ogilvy (1963)
• The wedding of HRH Princess Anne & Mark Phillips (1973)
• The wedding of HRH Prince Charles & Lady Diana Spencer (1981)
• The wedding of HRH Prince Andrew & Sarah Ferguson (1986)
• The wedding of HRH Prince Edward & Sophie Rhys-Jones (1999)

 
Classic Celebration Cakes Team is proud about its company's links with the Royal Wedding Cakes

The team's association began in 1963 when Andrew (who was a lot younger then) first worked on Princess Alexandra's Wedding Cake. This particular cake was very intricate piece that stood over 5 foot high and was iced in a traditional Royal Icing.

In 1973 Andrew was involved in presenting his second wedding cake for the marriage of HRH Princess Anne & Mark Phillips, This cake again was an impressive wedding cake which stood over 6 foot tall and again was made from Royal Icing.

In 1981 Andrew was joined by his daughter Elizabeth to present a cake for the wedding of HRH Prince Charles & Lady Diana Spencer. This cake was the first of three cakes Andrew and Elizabeth have worked together on and stood over 6 foot high. The traditional fruit cake was sliced and placed into individual monogrammed boxes which were then placed inside boxes which formed the decorated layers of the cake. The individual cake was finished with sugar paste icing and hand painted.

All the cakes presented to the Royal Family on these occasions were a traditional fruit cake centre although the techniques and methods used have changed very little since the first cake.

Andrew has ensured that the traditions and skills required for this type of work have been passed on to the future generations and todays employees have the same high level of skills and experience.

Caroline Herrera - April 2011 Launching

A modern romance...

"The petticoat of every Carolina Herrera gown is embroidered with the bride's initials in blue; sweet tradition-ticking hidden detail!" Tweeted our editor, Miranda Eason, from the front row at Carolina Herrera during this season’s New York Bridal Week.

We’re in total agreement! If you’re a stylish, romantic, lace-loving, detail-craving bride-to-be, you’ll love it too. Go starry-eyed for Herrera’s latest collection, straight from the catwalk...

Bow-ed over

Lashings of silk work so well here, because this three-quarter-sleeved dress is so simple. The only embellishment needed is the pretty bow tied at the waist. Keep things simple with a pastel-pink posy and wear hair pulled back into a prim ballerina bun.

Wild at heart

Create your own wildflower fantasy with a trailing bouquet of daisies; worn so well here with this classic column wedding dress.

Tudor Rose

Ever seen Shakespeare in Love? We reckon this heavily embroidered wedding dress has a hint of the Tudor romance about it. Check out the rich white tapestry on the dress itself and the tantalisingly virtuous neckline. Next we'll be reciting Shakespeare instead of our wedding vows...

A tale of two dresses

As you walk the aisle in this minimal yet elegant little number, you might be mistaken for taking the safe route to matrimony. That is, until you hear the gasps of delight from your seated guests...

Stripes we like

...a dramatic yet modern burst of spring-fresh greens, lilacs, yellows and greys, on a train topped off by a glittering garden butterfly. Now, who said you weren't daring?

The romantic movement

We've come over all poetic for this sonnet-inspiring, romantic wedding dress. With its bustier design and sweeping lace veil, we could definitely compare it to a summer's day.

Sheer beauty

Brides in search of a dress that covers yet reveals should play the coquette in this sheer, fitting gown. If you're worried about those upper arm areas, the ultra-pretty sheer detailing across the décolletage and shoulders will make them your strongest asset.

Flower bomb

Become a beautiful floral bombshell by slipping into this stunning flower-themed wedding dress. Not only does it feature a lovely stitched arrangement of beautiful blooms at the front, but we've also spied an oh-so-stylish, on-trend asymmetric bow hidden in there too!

Georgian glory

The Regency pretensions of this classic column wedding dress put us in mind of Elizabeth Bennett of Pride and Prejudice fame. And we all know the famous Mr. D she ended up marrying...

Poppy appeal

This fit-for-a-princess wedding dress is strewn with pretty poppy motifs. From the waist corsage to the matching bouquet, and then that monochrome embroidery that seems to cascade from the bodice; the life of a botanist never looked so appealing!

Dancing in the moonlight

Why go for a white dress when a subtle shade of lilac looks just as stunning? We love the dramatic neckline on this icy pale number, flecked by silvery sparkles - dazzling for your first moonlit dance.

Patience is a virtue

If only we had the patience (and time!) to master the art of origami... but heck, we're leaving it to the professionals! Lucky for us then, the folded neckline of this virtuous empire-line wedding dress is fantastic folded inspiration itself. If anyone asks, we did it ourselves!

Daisy chain charm

Remember how fond you were of making daisy chains as a child? Keep things fun and frivolous at your wedding with an easy posy of daisies and an unusual flower-rich fabric - just like this romantic wedding dress

Starry, starry night

We're dying to see this crystal encrusted wedding dress beneath a full star-flecked night. Perfect for an afternoon-to-evening wedding, we'd team it with a glamorous stole to keep warm when enjoying cocktails with your guests beneath a blanket of stars

All Things Bright

Like a shiny new silver coin, this icy bright strapless wedding dress will ensure you look bright and gleaming from day to night. Pair it with a natural bouquet to balance out that bright white gleam.
