Wedding ceremonies of members of the royal family always attract a lot of attention. Still, this is a real show, which viewers from all over the world are eager to look at. Who does not want to see a fairy tale coming to life? Preparation for the event took many months, everything was thought through to the smallest detail. Surprisingly, Kate Middleton's wedding dress was kept in the strictest secrecy until her appearance before the public. Everyone was looking forward to its release, because it was clear that at this particular moment, not only the history of the British royal family, but also the history of fashion is being achieved. Brides still long to copy the inimitable style of the princess.
Wedding Dress Catherine Middleton
The outfit was created by the world-famous English fashion house of Alexander McQueen, now headed by Sarah Burton. It was clear that the dress would be viewed by journalists, critics, designers and simple housewives up to every millimeter, and it will be discussed for a long, long time. Therefore, it had to be perfect. It turned out this way.
Princess Kate Middleton's wedding dress is an elegant, tight corsage on the bones, a modest neckline, lace-covered shoulders and hands, a gradually expanding skirt with a train.
Perhaps some thought Kate's outfit was too simple. Yes, in comparison with Princess Diana, the mother of the groom, her dress looks much more modest. But this is his charm. Not for nothing that there is a saying that all ingenious is simple.
Its color is a harmonious combination of flawless white with a delicate cream shade.
Couturiers tried to combine in this dress the eternal classical ideals and modern fashion trends. It was important to pay tribute to the rich Victorian tradition, but at the same time a modern young girl should not look old-fashioned. And it was possible to the full extent. So, for example, prim Englishmen are sure that a long train is a pledge of a long and happy marriage together. At the princess he was almost 3 meters long - a figure, of course, impressive, but before the royal brides he was even more. Refused and lush shuttlecock in the style of the Victorian era. This has its own explanation: the fashion does not stand still. It develops, transforms and acquires new incarnations. And the wedding dress of the future Duchess of Cambridge is a perfect confirmation of this.
Tribute to tradition
As you know, England is famous for its original lace. Appliques for the wedding dress Kate Middleton were made completely hand-made by craftsmen from the Royal School of Needlework Hampton Court. It is not known for certain whether this is true or not, but it is said that needlewomen washed their hands with soap every half hour and often changed needles to make the canvas really perfect. The occupation was responsible, only the best craftsmen were allowed to him.
A preference was given to the traditional floral ornament. Surprisingly beautifully intertwined with each other vegetative symbols of Britain - this is an English rose, a Scottish thistle, an Irish clover and a Welsh daffodil. Interestingly, such patterns have already been more than two centuries, embodying the unity of the United Kingdom.
Lace adorned almost all the details of the wedding dress Kate Middleton:
- corsage ;
- skirt along the entire length;
- wedding veil ;
- an incomparable plume;
- elegant shoes of the bride.
By the way, there is also a second wedding dress by Kate Middleton, which was made according to the design of the famous English fashion designer who took part in the design of the wedding backgammon of Princess Diana, Bruce Oldfield. The princess put it on for a wedding dinner in honor of her wedding, which had 300 invited guests. This white outfit was very modest and came complete with a beautiful fur bolero with a three-quarter sleeve.
