What a fantastic Royal Wedding yesterday! There is so much to say about the fabulousness that surrounded it, that I hardly know where to start. The obvious place would be with the amazing dress designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. It seemed to be perfectly suited to Kate's modern style, but with her signature twist on old fashioned glamour. We loved it! She looked every inch the fairytale princess and stood next to her Prince in his Irish Guard uniform, they made the most wonderful couple. The kiss on the balcony, eagerly awaited by millions did't disappoint, and HRHs The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge started their new life together. It was all very exciting to watch and made us very proud to be British!
Of course, we were glued to our TV looking at the amazing array of headwear that the guests were wearing. One of our favourites was that worn by Victoria Beckham. A fabulous bespoke Philip Treacy creation which comprised of a midnight blue pillbox-style piece adorned with gemstones and what looked like curled quills. So elegant when teamed with her gorgeous dress from her 2011 collection. A proper yummy mummy!

Some other amazing creations by Philip Treacy who seemed to be the milliner of choice for the wedding, creating some 36 hats for celebrities and royals were worn by Zara Phillips, The Duchess of Cornwall who both looked wonderful in their gorgeous headwear.
Some more interesting choices by the same designer were worn by Princesses Beatrice and Eugene, and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson who all opted for more cutting edge designs which definitely had everyone talking!
We can't not mention Carole Middleton's gorgeous design by Berkshire based milliner, Jane Corbett, and HRH The Queen in her gorgeous primrose yellow creation which complimented her outfit perfectly by Angela Kelly. She really did look so fabulous in her outfit and at 85 wears it well!
Last mention goes to the gorgeous chief bridesmaid and sister of the bride, Pippa Middleton who wore a beautiful floral hairpiece comprising of Lily of the Valley. So understated but so perfectly matched to her fabulous sheath dress with that exquisite button detailing down the back. Proving the fact that sometimes, less is definitely more!
A great day for hats and fascinators. We're sure that some of these pieces will be in the papers for a long time to come!
