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.
