Royal Wedding - My Thoughts

Every little girl dreams that one day she will become a princess and on Friday 29th April 2011 at 11am that dream became a reality for Kate Middleton when she married her Prince.

The whole day was full of mystique with not even the designer of Kate's dress confirmed; In the preparations for the big day we saw the arrival of large trees to Westminster Abbey, snippets of details about the cakes, of which there were two and the arrival of many guests both dignitaries and famous as well as family and friends.

As the cameras began to show the day from early on Friday morning we were not disappointed with the planning and trend setting ideas we were to see over the following hours. The Abbey looked stunning with touches of English country garden derived from the 6 English Field Maples, 2 Hornbeam trees and a plethora of stunning floral arrangements. Guests arriving were in all colours and fashion statements, each looking full of excitement and wonderment to be there on such a special day.

Princes William and Harry looked resplendent in their uniforms and waved to the crowds as they passed through on the journey to the Abbey.

Next to leave for the Abbey was Kate and her father, Kate looking stunning in a Sarah Burton dress from the house of Alexander McQueen. She certainly did not disappoint the crowds and clearly, not, from her future brother-in-laws as he whispered to his brother 'You wait until you see her'  followed by her husband to be's comment to his wife as she met him at the alter 'You look stunning, just beautiful', her husband, family and friends.

Kate's smile did not falter throughout and the little reassuring touches, smiles and winks from her husband showed just how much in love this young couple are.

To sum up the day in a couple of words - 'truly elegant'
