Kate Middleton Wedding Dress Designer is Sarah Burton


It's no longer a mystery, Kate Middleton's wedding dress designer is Sarah Burton, head designer for Alexander McQueen. Discover the amazing craftsmanship behind Catherine
Middleton's marvelous wedding gown and her exquisite veil and find out what jewelry she wore for her royal wedding to Prince William.

Ever since the royal engagement was announced, the world has been waiting impatiently to see Kate Middleton's wedding dress. Today the royal bride finally walked down the aisle at Westminster Abbey wearing a stunning lace wedding gown, designed by no other than Sarah Burton of the Alexander McQueen fashion house.

Dress

Kate Middleton herself worked closely with the designer to make sure she'll get the perfect gown for the royal wedding. The ivory satin bridal gown featured a lace applique bodice with a restrained, high lace collar, long lace sleeves and an 8 foot long train. The gown's bodice was narrowed down the waist and padded at the hips inspired by Victorian corsetry.

Veil

Kate's silk tulle veil was embroidered with rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock lace flowers. The intricate lace was hand-crafted at London's Royal School of Needlework based at Hampton Court Palace.

Shoes

Kate Middleton's shoes were also designed by the McQueen fashion house, made of ivory satin with hand-embroidered lace details to complement her wedding gown perfectly.





Tiara

The diamond tiara topped Kate Middleton's wedding hairstyle, which she wore in her trademark loose waves pulled back into a half updo. The tiara was lent to her by the Queen, which was given to her by Cartier in 1938 for her 18th birthday when she was still a princess.

Earrings

The royal bride accessorized with pear-shaped diamond earrings designed by fine jeweler Robinson Pelham and were inspired by the Middleton's new coat of arms, which was given to the family earlier this month.

Bouquet

Kate Middleton’s wedding bouquet was made up of myrtle, lily of the valley, sweet William and hyacinth, designed by Shane Connolly. The flowers from her bridal bouquet all have a special meaning: the myrtle is the emblem of love and marriage, the lily of the valley is the return of happiness, sweet William stands for gallantry, while the hyacinth symbolizes constancy of love.

Designer feedback

Top fashion designers all over the world expressed their excitement about Kate Middleton's wedding gown. Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld said: "She is very elegant. The dress is classic and goes very well in the Westminster decor. It almost reminds me of (Queen) Elizabeth’s wedding, the royal weddings in the Fifties. The proportion of the train is good. The lace is very pretty. I like the veil a lot."
French couturier Christian Lacroix cited the likeness of the royal wedding gown to 1956 Grace Kelly and 1947 Queen Elizabeth dresses, while Donatella Versace simply said: "Kate's dress was beautiful. She looked very regal."

With the Royal Wedding continuing behind closed doors, in a private reception, the attention has been diverted towards the guests who arrived to celebrate this important event. Kate Middleton's wedding gown and Prince William's wedding attire have been admired by millions of people across the world and now it's time for the rest of the crowd.

It seems that good taste runs in the family as with such a dress Pippa captured a generous amount of attention and positive critiques.
Pippa's silk white dress glided around her slender figure and showed off her feminine forms in a very elegant manner. The font of the dress revealed a lovely subtle draping cleavage while the back was kept simple, with just a few silk covered buttons following the spine-line. The dress was also designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, but in a much simpler manner, so it didn't overshadow the bride.

Another great pair who made a stunning impression at the Royal Wedding at Westminster Abbey was David and Victoria Beckham. The British couple opted for a classic timeless style, Victoria selecting a gorgeous baggy navy boat neck tunic dress from her latest fashion collection, AW 2011. To complete her stunning look, pregnant Victoria rocked a gorgeous pair of custom, super-high Christian Louboutin shoes and a lovely Phillip Treacy hat to spice-up her simple sleek ponytail hairstyle.



Princess Beatrice always manages to attract attention and she enchanted the crowd with a lovely Valentino couture, blush colored coat dress. The dress featured a great lattice collar detail that gave a stylish edge to the outfit. A stylish fascinator is indeed a must at exquisite events and this time Princess Beatrice complemented her outfit with a bold Phillip Treacy bow-style headpice.

Princess Victoria of Sweden looked amazing in a lovely, long sleeved, mid-length peach colored dress. The dress signed Ellie Saab complemented her figure, skin tone and accessorized with suede platform shoes from the designer's SS2011 collection.



Another great and edgy appearance was made by Tara Palmer Tomkinson, who strolled into Abbey looking as elegant as ever in a electric blue Kingfisher cocktail dress paired with a gorgeous pair of matching blue peep toe high heel pumps. To complete her look, Tara opted for a matching blue hat and clutch.

On the other hand, Kate Middleton's mother, Carole, opted for a classy light blue Catherine Walker dress, paired with a large brimmed hat by Jane Corbett and a pair of suede neutral/grey heels. The look was flawless and fit for a Royal mom. 



Camilla Parker Bowles, Duchess of Cornwall and Prince William's step mom, opted for a dress by the same designer she chose for her wedding outfit in 2005, when she married Prince Charles. Anna Valentine created a gorgeous two tone champagne and blue coat featuring hand embroidered details around the waistline, coat paired with a lovely matching champagne dress. She completed her look with a gorgeous Phillip Treacy hat and a pair of neutral Jimmy Choo heels.

The Queen looked bright and joyful at the ceremony wearing an Angela Kelly signature single crepe wool primrose dress featuring hand sewn beading around the neck area and a matching double crepe wool tailored primrose coat. The same designer created a matching crepe hat adorned with two handmade silk roses and matching apricot colored leaves. 

Eye Skin Care Tips and Tricks


Keep your skin looking fabulous and pay extra attention to the skin surrounding the eyes as it can develop premature fine lines and wrinkles, which
will only act to your disadvantage. Check out the following tips so you can maintain your skin looking fabulous for as long as possible!

The skin surrounding the eyes is much thinner and much more sensitive to external factors damage, so if you want to maintain your skin looking fabulous, you need to pay attention to your skin care routine. To prevent premature aging, take these into account and try to prevent any skin damage or early development of fine lines and wrinkles.

Your skin, especially the one around your eyes can actually take or add a few years oto your real age depending on how its maintained, so if you want to look youthful and have an enviable skin, try to take proper care of your body.
Since the skin around your eyes is much more sensitive it requires special care so learn the proper steps to main it looking fabulous, so you can radiate beauty.



Baggy eyes can make you look tired so try your best to reduce the puffiness using different special products. The puffiness is created by water which is being retained in bags under the eyes, and certain products can help diminish the bags. Use under eye creams which are based on vitamin K and wild chestnut, as they will diminish the tired eyes look. Caffeine eye roller products also work so purchase the ones that you find suitable for you.

Get enough sleep as lack of sleep can definitely have an impact over your look and cause the skin surrounding the eyes to puff-up and develop dark circles, which don't actually help your look.

Don't apply a regular face cream under your eyes as the skin is much more sensitive in this area and thus needs softer ingredients to look and feel fabulous. Purchase a specially formulated eye cream and apply it using your ring finger gently by tapping the cream in back and forth movements, on small portions of the under-eye area, starting from the outside eye corner towards the inside.

Don't apply eye cream before bedtime as you might end-up with irritated eyes, plus your skin will not be able to breath. Give your skin a break and allow it to breath through the night. Keep in mind that most creams if not all, contain chemical ingredients, so give your skin some time to regenerate.

The cucumber slices on the eyes is not a way through which you can look funny but actually a way to pamper the skin surrounding your eyes. Cucumbers are rich in minerals so cut two fresh slices of cucumber and place them for 10 or 15 minutes on your eyes to allow the minerals to be absorbed by the skin.

Sleep on a comfy pillow which will maintain your head a little bit higher than the rest of your body to prevent puffy eyes. This way the blood will not rush to your head and cause the swelling under your eyes.

Avoid making grimaces as they can become a habit and lead to the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Protect your eyes with sunglasses when you're exposing yourself to the bright sunlight as the sun light will also force you to make grimaces and cause fine lines.

Emphasize your eyes and make your skin luminous by opting to enhance your eyes with light colored makeup. Go for shimmery shades of nude, taupe, soft pink, lavender to brighten up the eyes.

Keep your skin in fab condition and you'll definitely feel more comfortable and confident!

Kate Middleton Second Wedding Dress Pictures


Kate Middleton's second wedding dress pictures have brought much excitement to the royal wedding watchers! Catherine Middleton dazzled at her Royal
wedding as she opted for a second dress which was as beautiful as her bridal gown. Find out all the details next!

Apparently it's not uncommon for royals to have an extra wedding dress standing by in case anything is revealed before their big day, and Kate Middleton, now Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, made no exception.

It's been rumored that the royal bride didn't have one, but two extra wedding dresses designed just so she could be sure nothing ruins her big day. And since nothing got out, Catherine appeared in her first choice, the wedding dress designed by British designer Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. Because carrying that 8 foot train all day and night isn't exactly easy, Kate decided to wear a second wedding dress at the party, and she looked stunning.



Kate Middleton shined and dazzled the guests at the wedding reception with another McQueen creation, a simplistic strapless white satin gown featuring a subtle and simple cleavage and a gorgeous diamante detailing around the waist. To give her gown a little bit of a modern touch and emphasize the small details, Kate opted for a simple white angora shrug that kept her warm.

It's not uncommon for brides and grooms to have a quick change into something more comfortable and so no one was surprised of the couple's choice as Prince William also ditched his military uniform over a black tuxedo.

Kate also ditched her glam and glitzy tiara that was lent to her by the Queen for this particular day and allowed her luscious wavy locks to glide gently and naturally around her delicate facial features. Naturalness was best underlined by Catherine and she has proven herself to be fit for a Prince.
Congratulations!
