Who doesn’t love playing dress-up? With the royal wedding being the ultimate fantasy occasion, we decided to let our imaginations run wild and pick out some ensembles for if we were rich, famous and… invited.

In another chapter of cashing in on wedding memorabilia: we spotted an “official” wedding fragrance, one for both Kate and William, with super saccharine heart-shaped miniature lockets decorating the bottles.

Visiting London anytime soon, and looking to indulge your royal curiosity, or simply looking to snoop? We did some of our own, and found some of the princess-to-be’s favourite hotspots.

Looking to indulge in some appropriately festive high tea? Try this Ka’tea’ & William set from Donkey Products, ($7, donkey-products.com) the same people who brought you tea bags bearing the likenesses of Karl, Grace Coddington and Anna Wintour⎯ and let the future king and queen steep in your mug. There are teas featuring the Queen Mum, too!

With only 25 days remaining until the royal wedding, we can hardly imagine the checklist of beauty must-do’s that Kate needs cross off her list. In the essence of time, we’ve compiled a list of products to help the future Princess beautify-on-the-fly so she can arrive at Westminster looking well rested and radiant.

What’s on the menu for the royal wedding? At least two different cakes⎯one for both Kate and William, it seems.

Kate has been reported to be collaborating on some kind of fruitcake with the chosen baker, Fiona Cairns. The future princess has apparently becoming so involved with the process that she brought along mood boards while consulting on the final product. Cairns explained to The Telegraph, “…she knew very much what she wanted and she brought us mood boards and told us what influences she would like us to use on the cake.” Who knew wedding cake, let alone any cake, needed a creative director?

We don’t know about you, but our invite to the royal wedding must have simply gotten lost in the mail. If you’re in the same boat, Legoland has made an incredibly (almost frighteningly) detailed lego-block fantasy of what the royal wedding will look like at Buckingham Palace⎯which looks so lifelike, it caused a double take.

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.

Will Kate have a just-in-case wedding day wardrobe change like Diana? While the fashion world and tabloids alike are abuzz with rumours of what Kate will be waltzing down the aisle in, (Alexander McQueen? Bruce Oldfield? Vera Wang?) it’s been revealed that her hubby-to-be’s mum, the late Princess Diana, had  two wedding gowns chosen herself⎯one top-secret pick, just in case it was paparazzi’d or discovered before the big day. In a world full of camera phones and Twitter’s ability to break news in seconds, we’re willing to bet Kate might just have a similar trick up her sleeve, too!

As impossible as this is to believe, royal wedding fever has yet to reach its pitch. With today marking one month to the day that Kate and Wills say their “I dos,” we’re starting our month-long countdown to April 29^th with a daily post celebrating everything from top hats to royal carriages (OMG!) Today, we begin our countdown with a look at some of the craziest concoctions the lovely couple’s admirers have come up with:
