Wills & Kate: A Royal Wedding

          Fighting through a headache, I actually did it I watched the entire royal wedding. As a wedding planner I just couldn't miss THE wedding of the century!

          My favorites of the night are by far the hats/fascinator.The AMAZING HATS. They are just splendid, I wish we could appreciate a great hat in this side of the planet. The dress of the 1900 guests overall was incredibly brilliant, quite colorful. Although I think a few tried to upstage the bride!


         The men were looking dapper in their morning coats, always a personal favorite of mine for the guys.

         The dress: A white beautiful V neck with handmade lace, long sleeves with a fitted bodice, classy. Not an extremely long train 2 meters 70 centimeters. Sarah Burton creative director for the late Alexander Mcqueen.

        Kate's hair and makeup: Nothing dramatic, looking just like her usual self. Small Cartier tiara made in 1936 borrowed from the Queen, with hair mostly down.


 I wish she smiled more, maybe she was just nervous.

Two page boys and 4 flower girls just precious. Just want to eat them up!!

The ceremony: Hour long a traditional anglican service, with lots of prayer and song.

Kate did not promise to "obey" her new husband in her vows, but instead will "love, comfort, honour and keep"  her new man.


They did not kiss at Westminster Abbey, but there was two short ones for the public to see back at Buckingham Palace on the balcony.




Wish I could see the receptions.




When will I ever stop crying when I see a wedding?


Did any one but me stay up to watch this whole thing?

Get a manicure for the big day, you may regret it if you don't.

Some thing you may not have thought about:

Even if your not the type of person to get manicures or French nails, your wedding is the one day you definitely should. There are going to be a lot of photos with your hands, pictures will last forever and when you look at them you don't want to keep seeing unhealthy, chipped and discolored nails that can ruin a beautiful shot.

Second reason to have your hands in good shape: Your family and friends will ask a million times over to view your beautiful new rings. You don't want to feel self conscious of your roughed up hands,  show those babies off!
:D :D

Your hands don't get a lot of loving, a manicure can be a really relaxing experience so enjoy it the day right before.

Make it a treat for your bridesmaids, they have probably helped you out a lot in the last few months.

Diamonds are a girls best friend!

Diamonds are a girl's best friend, but Tacori rings showcase those Diamonds on a magnificent pedestal.

Hand Crafted in California these beauties take 4 weeks to make. The designs are extremely intricate and if you don't feel they are one of a kind enough they do custom rings as well.

If you are not engaged yet, I would give Tacori a look, they are absolutely stunning.

Their website is extremely helpful, they have a gentleman's guide so he will not feel over whelmed when trying to find the perfect ring. They even have a fun little quiz that'll send you in the right direction.
