Here Comes the Bride.


Bride, Kate Middleton wears a stunning Alexander McQueen bridal gown.
The lace applique for the bodice and skirt was handmade by the Royal School of Needlework, with individual flowers hand-cut from lace (in shapes of roses, thistle, daffodils and shamrocks).
The dress is made of ivory and white satin gazar with a skirt in the shape of an opening flower. 
The satin bodice, narrowed at the waist and padded at the hips in a McQueen signature, is based on Victorian corsetry. 
The back is finished with 58 gazar and organza covered buttons.
The veil, made of ivory silk tulle with a trim of hand-embroidered flowers, is held in place by a 1936 Cartier tiara, lent to Kate by the Queen.
Kate’s earrings—shaped like oak leaves with a pave set diamond acorn suspended in the center—are by Robinson Pelham. 
The shoes are also by Alexander McQueen.
