A Right Royal Street Party..

Good evening everyone, well what a lovely lovely day. I hope everybody has had a fun filled day, in celebration of the Royal Wedding. I would like to say a huge Congratulations to Prince William and Katherine. A simply stunning ceremony, both looking outstanding and as always Kate was extremely graceful.

The Royal Wedding

                                       


This is the Ladyamys Ramblings on the Royal Wedding and our Street Party fun and giggles.
Firstly I am going to talk about my views on the Wedding and then I'll share the gossip and giggles from our 'little' Street Party...
Ok.. Where to start? There is so many amazing things to talk about today, eeek!! I have felt so happy and excited all day. I have felt like a sparkling bubby glass of Champaigne, fizzing with excitment!! 

Congratulations is also in order as Prince William has now been titled Duke of Cambridge

There was an outstanding crown in Londaon today, in support of Will and Kate. Everything detailed in Red/White and Blue. A sea of The Union Jack as Flags wave, bunting blowing in the wind and wigs and hats sitting high..
The screams of cheer, love and support from the crowds were incredible.

Prince William
 Prince Willam looked Magnificiantly Handsome in his bright Red/Blue and Gold attire. His red jacked was  heavily embelished with gold and creams, finished off with the stunning bright blue sash and white gloves.  
Normaly the Groom would arrive at Westminster Abbey just before the ceremly begins however, Wills was doing things differently. Arriving about 30min before the ceremony to circulate with quests, friends and close family.
Arriving in a stylish maroon glass roofed Bently with younger brother Harry, Best Man.

Usually a 'Bently' would drive the Bride and Groom (seperatly) to Westminster Abbey and a Horse Drawn Carriage would traditional take them back to Buckingham Palace.

Kate arrived in a Rolls Royce Fantom V6 with her Father, Micheal Middleton.
On the drive to Westminster Abbey, Kathering was looking extremely happy and very elegant, waving to the crouds of people who lined the streets of London in support.

Prince William and Kate  are both perfectly equipted to rule the Monarchy with their ability to be so simply charming and 'normal' yet quietly having an air of authority. They seem to have a very emotional sence of connection to the public which is incredibly important when ruling a country.

Wetsminter Abbey was beautifully dressed today with the grand red carpet leading up to the entrance. The guests were welcomed with a run of stunning 'trees'
Apparently Kate wanted to bring Nature to the people and I have to say the 'trees' looked organic and simply stunning.

A few special quests...
The Queen of Denmark
Sultan of Brunei
The King of Tonga
Prince Albert of Monaco
and the Beckhams...

Carol Middleton
How devine did The Mother Of The Bride look?? Designer - Cathering Walker (who sadly died last year so her partner Siead has taken over the business and is keeping things going) Princess Diana was a huge fan of this particular designer and had a few items made buy the late Caterine Walker herself. 
 Carol looked simply stunning in her powder pearl blue outfit. The shape was not too fitting but figure hugging in the perfect places. The jacket had simple and very elegant detailing on the sleaves and in the centre. Carols hat was just lovely, it wasnt too big and  again simply stylish and elegant. This rather radiant Mother of the Bride arrived in style with her son, the Brides brother, James.

The Queen
How delightful did the Queen look today in her lovely summery yellow number..? She is looking truly incredible for 85years, celebrating her Birthday last week.
Arriving in the traditional in style in a Rolls Royce with The Duke of Edinborough.

The Bride
Kathering Dutchess of Cambridge
Wow!!
How gorgeous did Kate look today?? ...all the little details and personal touches were perfect and completely beautiful in every way. Nothing was too much or over done. Kate filled this day with her personality and ideas, bending a few traditions and customs.

Hair - I just loved this simple 'half up half down' look with the sparkly dimond Tiara.
The long curls flowing down the back, catching on her right shoulder as she slowly moved her head when waving to the croud was so beautiful...
Veil - Kate's veil was so lovely. I thought the way it touched her face was very flattering and extremely elegant.
Flowers - Oh I just loved the creative yet organic feel to this wedding, which really was expressed in the purity and greenery used in the flower arrangments and bouquets.
Usually a traditional Bride would have a rather large flowing bouquet, but today we saw Kate with  small natural bouquet tied with a small white ribbon/bow.
Dress - (Designer Sarah Burton / Alexanda Mcqeen)
This stunning ivory and white dress was heavily laced throughout the top/sleaves and more fitting around the bust area and middle, dropping into a very elegant and larger skirt, finished with a lovely long train of approx 2.7 metres.
I was pleasently suprised by Kates dress choice however, I thought she looked utterly beautiful and as always very graceful.
