Wedding Of The Year
Prince William and Kate Middleton
Weddings. We all love weddings.
So, what other wedding would I talk about if not The Royal Wedding, literally THE wedding of the year?
For those who hasn't picked up the newspaper, or turn to the news channel on TV, Prince William and Kate Middleton will be getting married on 29th April 2011, at Westminster Abbey.
The couple met during their university years at St Andrews University, Fife, in 2001, where they had shared the same 'History of Art' course.
Prince William, the son of the beloved Princess Diana and second-in-line to the throne; and Kate, the eldest daughter of businessman Michael Middleton and former air hostess Carol.
The Ring
On a holiday in Kenya, Africa, Prince William popped the question to a surprised Kate, giving her a sapphire and diamond engagement ring that belonged to his
mother.
Kate's diamond and sapphire engagement ring that belonged to Prince William's late mother, Diana.
Prince William said that giving Kate his mother's ring was 'his way of keeping Diana close to it all'.
For their official announcement of their engagement, Kate paired her royal heirloom accessory with a royal blue dress designed by Daniella Issa Helayel.
The Wedding Dress
One of the biggest questions about the royal wedding is the designer of Kate's wedding gown. Who will design the dress to be worn by the future princess of England?
There has been many rumors spreading across the internet on the subject, however, Kate had made it clear that her wedding gown designer will be kept a closely-guarded state secret, so that her future husband will be able to fully anticipate her walk down the aisle of Westminster Abbey.
Most fashion journalists had speculated that Sarah Burton, the creative director of Alexander McQueen, will be the one to design the royal wedding dress. However, the house of McQueen had flatly denied the rumor.
McQueen designs are known to be modern and avant garde, but with Sarah Burton at its creative helm, we can expect her to bring a softer and more feminine style to their collection.
If the rumour is true, Kate may just be walking down the aisle in a gorgeous, modern wedding gown that will appeal to the fashionistas.
Another favourite designer that the world is betting on is Bruce Oldfield, who had once dressed Princess Diana for her engagement, and also Queen Rania of Jordan's wedding dress.
His style is classic and timeless, with his designs being simple and form-fitting to accentuate a woman's figure. The perfect mix to produce a wedding gown fit for a princess.
Kate's mother and sisters are known to have gone to him for their gowns, so it is very possible that Bruce Oldfield may be the one to design one of the most anticipated gown of the year.
Amanda Wakeley is another contender for being Kate's wedding dress designer. With her ethereal wedding gowns, her collection leans towards a more flowy, Grecian goddess style with a pinch of sensuality.
She also used to dress Princess Diana with her more feminine suits, making Amanda Wakeley another possibility to be the chosen designer.
Phillipa Leyley is a celebrity favourite for bridal gowns with her use of luxurious fabric, like silk and vintage lace, in her gowns.
Her designs are often distinguished by its figure-flattering silhouette; and generous beading and embellishments to create a dramatic, yet chic, look for brides. She is very popular amongst the upper class of Britain's society.
Just like the management of Alexander McQueen, all the suspected designers had firmly denied that they would be the ones to design the future princess's wedding gown.
Despite all these possibilities, the fashion experts have agreed on one thing:- The one to design Kate's wedding dress would most certainly be a British designer. Which means, that Daniella Issa Helayel may not be the one, since she's a native of Brazil.
No matter which designer she will ultimately select, judging from her style sense, I bet it's going to be one helluva wedding dress.
This is definitely one wedding you won't want to miss!
Watch the anticipated Royal Wedding on BBCE and CNN, which will be showing live on 29th April 2011, Friday. The Royal Wedding is the official website for the event, and is regularly updated with announcements on all details of the wedding.
