Buzz from Bobbie Thomas…

The “ribbon pull” ~ ($18:95 – $20.49 for set of 6; TheWeddingOutlet.com)
“While the big day is all about wishing luck and love to the newlyweds, some wedding traditions focus on bestowing good fortune to others in attendance. Dating back to Victorian times, a “ribbon pull” is a unique wedding reception activity in which sterling silver charms attached to long ribbons are baked in between the layers of the wedding cake. Before the bride and groom share their first slice, the bridesmaids gather so that each can pull one ribbon, claiming for herself a future good promise. Some southern weddings here in the States have also adopted the tradition, especially near New Orleans.” - Bobbie Thomas

With so many enchanting touches, it’s hard to pick just a few but here are some of my favorite moments.

Exits – I didn’t think there could be a more romantic exit than the couple’s horse-drawn carriage ride from Westminster Abbey until I saw Prince William driving his bride around the grounds of Buckingham Palace in an Aston Martin convertible, complete with a trail of balloons and the vanity plate Just Wed. 

The dress – After months of speculation, we finally got to see the wedding gown and it was well worth the wait.  Princess Catherine wore a gorgeous 1950s style ivory gown by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen featuring a bodice with hand-made lace overlay, high lace collar and lace long sleeves, ivory satin skirt , ivory silk tulle veil and Queen Elizabeth’s Cartier tiara. Her simple jewelry and down hairstyle perfectly complemented her look.  The Princess was simply stunning. 

The kiss – The newlyweds stood in front of over 500,000 people on a balcony at Buckingham Palace for their first kiss. A bit quick, the crowd prompted them to kiss again.  The couple happily obliged, giving us two kisses. 

The hats – I loved checking out all of the formal wide brimmed hats and funky fascinators complete with feathers, bows, tulle and flowers.  Hope these become a hot trend for weddings in the US as well.

The fashions, history and tradition of the Royal Wedding didn’t overshadow the obvious love and friendship the Royal Couple have for each other. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

The royal wedding website is the official place to get the latest news on the wedding details, see photos of the couple, information on travel to London, and view tours and pictures of Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace.  The website also includes access to the Royal Wedding’s official Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Flickr pages, so you can always get breaking news and photos as they become available.

All season, we weren’t sure if the wedding would really happen but we found out Sunday night, amid some drama and doubt, that they did indeed tie the knot last July. The wedding took place at a really cool venue, the Fernbank Museum of Natural History, which features the world’s largest dinosaurs.  Cynthia’s non-traditional, non-white dress, a one-of-a-kind platinum dress designed by Rubin Singer, looked absolutely amazing on her!  Her elegant updo allowed the shoulder and neck detailing of the dress to shine and I just loved her cascading bouquet of flowers and super-sized, sparkling earrings.  Peter and Cynthia’s daughter, Noelle, also looked terrific.

I think they did a great job of incorporating some of the bridal industry’s latest trends of non-white bridal gowns, unique locations, and classic updos to achieve an untraditional and stylish event.

If you saw the show, what’d you think of her choices?

Some makeover shows provide self-confidence and security to participant’s after their surgery and I think that’s great, but a show that awards cosmetic surgery so you can look perfect at your celeb style wedding seems extreme, superficial and not entertaining at all to me.  What do you think?

There’s no doubt that their wedding, tentatively scheduled for spring or summer 2011 at Westminster Abbey, will be a spectacular affair, much more elaborate and expensive than your typical wedding, yet Prince William and Kate have similarities to other couples planning to wed.

If you’re like me, you are fascinated with the regality of William and Kate.   Not unlike other newly engaged couples however, the bride-to-be and her fiancé met one another while in college, they lived together, Prince William asked his future father-in-law for Kate’s hand in marriage, and Prince William gave his mother’s oval sapphire and diamond engagement ring to Kate when he proposed.

It seems like couples, regardless of their backgrounds, will have some of the same traditions, experiences and responsibilities when preparing to tie the knot.  In the end, everyone feels like princes and princesses on their wedding day, royal or not.

I look forward to following their story and yours!  Is your wedding fit for a queen?  Tell us about it.

The couple, known for creating style trends rather than following them, surprisingly opted for some traditional wedding elements at their Indian wedding.

Their wedding was kept very private with a rather small number of guests and no paparazzi allowed. The ceremony, performed by a Christian minister, incorporated traditional Indian wedding elements like a procession, elephants, and Indian music. Katy wore an Elie Saub Haute Couture gown with various internet stories reporting that the gown was dove gray with lace sleeves, representing two of the hottest trends in bridal wear right now, color and lace detailing.

Even though the ceremony and wedding gown were somewhat traditional, the couple has reportedly made a very untraditional choice (especially by Hollywood standards) of not selling their wedding photos. Congrats to them!
