A moment in history!

After months of preparation, the countdown to one of Britain’s finest hours came to an end this morning with the wedding of Prince William to Catherine Middleton; marking a new moment in history!

As a British Citizen, the wedding had a true significance to me! As newlyweds ourself, my husband an I were thoroughly dazzled this morning by the royal wedding. What a wonder to witness such a magnificent, fairytale wedding! And of course... the fantastic display of pomp and pageantry - an art that is executed to perfection by the British Royal Family. Huge congratulations to the newly titled HRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge! Long may they be happy in their lives together!

A topic on every ones lips is definitely the dress! The bride looked classic and stunning in a long-sleeved lace and ivory satin design by Sarah Burton, the creative director for Alexander McQueen. A truly traditional design, this dress is sure to be a source of inspiration for future brides and a boost to the already popular vintage trend!

Catherine's feet featured a pair of duchess satin McQueen shoes, and she carried a sweet and simple bouquet of Sweet William, Lilly of the Valley, and Myrtle (grown from the Queens own wedding bouquet). For her accessories she chose classic tear drop diamond earrings and a Cartier tiara that was loaned to her by the Queen.


If you'd like to take inspiration from her classic style and bring a touch of royal class to your own wedding accessories, check out these timeless accessory recommendations on Etsy below!
