Retro Inspiration: Duchess Kate Middleton and Princess Grace Kelly
Have you seen Kate's dress? It's beautiful, and is definitely reminiscent of Grace Kelly's 1956 wedding dress. Kate's is a Sarah Burton-designed Alexander McQueen creation, and was just revealed a few hours ago. Both are white and strapless, but shoulders are covered by lace up to the neck. Kate's dress, however, has a deep v in the neck, making it modern. The train isn't too long (you just can't follow Di).
Sorry for the ghetto pictures - I had to take them off my TV as there are none on the internet yet!

It's A Nice Day For A White Wedding
To be honest, I am really excited for the upcoming royal wedding. Most of my friends have this attitude of "I don't care, they're just people," but I am jazzed nonetheless! I think my anglophilia is at play here. Scratch that, I know it. I'd love to watch any British wedding, actually. The fact that it's royal only adds to it for me. True; Kate Middleton is no Diana, but then again, who is? Kate's a doll, she's smart, she's classy, and she's normal. She's practically a fairy tale princess! And personally, Will reminds me of Diana. I mean, look at him next to his brother, Harry, and his father - who's from where? I think he's just adorable.
I'm also one of those people who is interested in random couples (see my posts from February 1 to 14) and of course the prince of freakin' ENGLAND is going to be at the top of my it-couple list (at least, for modern times).
I am completely enthralled by the glamor of the whole event - the ring (Diana's!), the dress, the cake, the wedding favors, the ceremony, etc... I've been watching TONS of "wedding specials" - mostly made up of interviews with friends, designers, and decorators who talk about the royal couple and give random opinions. My sister and I pretty much eat it up.
I certainly plan on waking up early to watch the wedding tomorrow. I know I'm just a teenage American girl, but my anglophilia rages on.
