Oh who am I kidding... I had Royal Wedding Fever and I had it bad. From when the engagement was announced to when the shops started stocking everything in Union Jack print, I have been looking forward to this day for months (even if I was a bit disappointed when my invite didn't arrive in the post) and have spent weeks perfecting my Royal Wedding Cupcakes.
I couldn't sleep last night for excitement, so cant imagine what Kate herself must of been feeling, but today finally dawned and what a day it was.
We celebrated by having a Champagne breakfast, complete with Strawberries, Crossaints and Smoked Salmon canapes, whilst watching everyone make their way to Westminster Abbey in their finery.
Gasping with oooh's and ahhh's I enjoyed watching a part of history, before heading off the a Street Party for celebrations, cake competitions, games and Pimm's of course!
But now for the important part... The Dresses.
Twitter was alive with reports last night that it was a positive certainty the dress was Alexander McQueen after Sarah Burton was seen entering The Goring Hotel at which Kate was staying in on her last night as a single woman.
What a beautiful dress it was, simple but detailed with the lace long sleeves, it fitted her frame perfectly, people may have been expecting something more flamboyant but I think Kate was wise and stuck to what she knew, and knows suits her. It looked classic and just perfect. The evening dress was also designed by Sarah Burton and was a simple bustier dress teamed with a bolero, and her now famous luscious shiny hair down with a loose wave.
Sarah Burton has spoken out, in which she says will be her only interview on the dress saying "It has been the experience of a lifetime" Read the full statement here.
As for the Bridesmaids, Pippa Middleton, Kate's sister (also in McQueen) looked stunning, and kept many male watchers interested. "Pippa Middleton...SORT" was one text I received. Harry even looked smitten, and it's not hard to see why.
As for the guests, there was some good, some bad and then the ugly.
Good - The Beckhams
Victoria and David arrived looking gorgeous, pregnant Victoria was in one of her own dresses from her A/W 11' collection, a midnight blue tunic dress, platform Louboutins, a Phillip Treacy hat and a sleek ponytail. David looked his usual stylish self in a Ralph Lauren morning suit, complete with a Top Hat that was rumoured he was avoiding wearing so he didn't get 'hat hair' (Oh Becks, we love you) and of course, his OBE.
Bad - Tara Palmer Tomkinson
After all the effort she went to getting a new nose for the wedding, I thought Tara would of done better. It's not that I don't like her outfit, I am just unsure. The colour, cobalt blue, was stunning, and she showed off her slim figure fantastically, and the hat looked great too (Note: Centre parting hat = New Trend) but the gloves just looked too much, and she shoes almost on the cheap side.
The Ugly - The Princesses Beatrice and Eugene
No No No, Oh girls... What went wrong? Have you never watched Gok Wan? Eugene I'm talking to you!
Beatrice, looked ok, in a beige Valentino Haute Couture dress and matching coat, but her hat was a bit O.T.T and some have said is wrong for her face shape.
Then there is her younger sister Eugene, in a Vivenne Westwood (marks for wearing a British Designer) but the mixed colours of green and blue looked ghastly and the shape does absolutely nothing for her figure.
Sorry girls.
All in all, a truly fabulous and beautiful event. No one can hate on them, they're just a young normal couple who are obviously very much in love. What a reason to celebrate. It makes you proud to feel British. Congratulations Catherine and William.
