Let’s digest: Five things you didn’t know about Kate’s wedding day outfit
Our minds, hearts and eyes were proverbially blown this morning by the dizzying spectacle that was the royal wedding. Cementing her place amongst fashion royalty as well as the real kind, Kate showed real foresight by choosing Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen to design her dress and sending the fashion folk along with the rest of 3 billion viewers worldwide into an equally spellbinding tizzy! Recalling a little Grace Kelly (hand-cut English lace and French Chantilly lace bodice) and a little Queen Elizabeth II (nipped waist, full skirt and train), Kate’s dress just radiated regal romanticism. Simply put, there was nothing negative you could possibly say about that dress! We’ll have more coverage a little later today direct from London, but in the meantime, lets digest some of the details surrounding Kate’s (or should we say Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge’s) wedding day outfit:

By Randi Bergman and Jordan PorterYou can’t tell, but we wrote this with a British accent. That’s how excited we are for the nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton this Friday (has our month-long countdown taught you anything?)

Royal wedding countdown: Day 15
While you may be able to hold your own at dinner with friends, this is the wedding of the century, (with the Queen Mum herself in attendance) and something tells us you’ll have a lot more to worry about than which fork to use first.

Seen in attendance for the mini-ceremony? Of course, the bride, groom, and royal family, as well as paparazzi, the guards, and VIP guests including Paul McCartney, the Beckhams, and Elton John.
