Following the royal wedding the catwalk and fashion blogs have been bombarded by soft romantic inspired hair, make-up and outfits. Kate wore a beautiful ivory Alexander McQueen dress designed by Sarah Burton. This Grace Kelly style piece flowed down the aisle beautifully, and Kate's petite frame was accentuated by the fitted bodice which was covered in beautiful lace. The timeless dress was only made more elegant by the delicate lace sleeves. As for her something old the lace was made using a technique which dates back to the 1800's. Her something blue was a blue ribbon sewn into the lining of her dress. The Queen's tiara was her something borrowed,the 1936 Cartier "halo". The Queen loaning the bride a tiara is a tradition of royal weddings.Finally her something new were a pair of Robinson Pelham earring given to her by her parents. they were diamond-set stylised oak leaves with a pear-shaped diamond set drop and a pave set diamond acorn suspended in the centre.The earrings were made to represent the family's coat of arms and were made to echo and compliment the tiara.
