Of course everyone has been talking about the Royal Wedding and the first thing I did this morning was fast forward to the moment Kate Middleton stepped out of her hotel to reveal a glimpse of the DRESS! What can I say except it was classic, elegant and designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. It featured “traditional Carrickmacross craftsmanship,†a lace technique that dates back to the 1800s.
Something borrowed was from the Queen. Kate’s tiara is a 1936 Cartier halo.  But I could not believe all those hats! I loved seeing everyone in hats! How come we don’t wear hats at weddings here in the US?
Of course Victoria Beckham’s hat was brilliant! I also loved Sophie, Countess of Wessex’s hat which looked lovely with her blond hair. Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice hats certainly made a statement but weren’t my favorite.  My favorite was the mother of the bride – that blue color was so beautiful and it was created by Berkshire based milliner Jane Corbett. I want to go out and buy a hat now but where would I wear it??
