Royal Wedding Scents Revealed!

Kate's Wedding Fragrance: An instant hit!
While I was cooing over the dress, the hair and the make-up on last Friday’s extravaganza, some clever people were finding out other, smaller details about the Royal Wedding.

Namely, which scent the bride was wearing! Ahh yes, this didn’t cross my mind because well the McQueen was far too overwhelming to even consider other thoughtful touches that had gone into the Bride’s overall look.

Anyway, said fragrance is called White Gardenia Petals by little known British brand, Illuminum. Billed as a mixture of coconut, Jasmine and amber wood- the perfume, as you may have expected, is now sold out completely.

In fact it even has a two week waiting list now that the Duchess of Cambridge has given her Royal seal of approval to it.

Not only is she a fan of this fragrance, but also of Jo Malone. Kate apparently filled the Abbey with their signature candles and provided luxury soaps and hand washes for the guests to use in the VIP bathrooms.

How posh. I think I may light my Jo Malone candle in appreciation… well it would be rude not to wouldn’t it?!

The Royal Wedding: Verdict

Well, the build up was immense and I think the hype reached fever pitch once Kate Middleton arrived at Westminster Abbey, but what did you think of the ceremony?

I loved it, got a bit bored with some of the readings in the middle, but enjoyed the little side glances William and Kate kept giving each other.

As for the little slip up with the wedding ring not going on, well I doubt anyone noticed it really... apart from around 2 billion on Twitter.

That just made them all the more adorable for me and apparently Wills told Kate she looked beautiful when she reached him at the alter. Aww!

Harry also is reported to have said to Wills 'Wait till you see her!' which just shows how close they all are.

Now we're approaching the end of the cermony, they are offically man and wife and I am exhausted! I'm off to pop the champers now and will be back reporting in a bit!

McQueen confirmed as designer!

OMG! Kate Middleton could not have fared better with her choice of designer on the day. McQueen has been confirmed as the designer of her dress and Sarah Burton is the hottest name in fashion in the world right now.

It's very Grace Kelly-esque- simple, stunning and elegant. The lace sleeves are modest yet still revealing. Basically the perfect wedding dress for Kate and as I said before everyone will love it.

The Queen's tiara has been loaned to her for the big day, the make-up is simple with strong defined eyebrows and her hair- well, those moodboards and hours of rehearsal were worth it.

The half up, half down 'do with loose curls just compliment everything perfect. Bravo Kate!

And she's next to William... here we go!!!!

The Queen is en-route!

Wowsa, I'm getting chills now. Camilla and Charles have arrived, the Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice are inside the Abbey and now the Queen is en-route.

Looking lovely in sunny yellow, I think the Queen looks marvellous. Camilla looks pretty in muted tones and is rocking Jimmy Choo shoes, so she gets my approval there.

Just been looking at The Goring on BBC news, where all the staff have lined up ready to wave off the bride.

No chance of seeing them before they get the Abbey apparently, but I have been told the bridesmaids dresses have been created by Alice Temperley and bookies have already paid out on Sarah Burton for McQueen designing Kate's wedding dress.

I'm gutted that's got out before the big reveal, but hey what can you do when Twitter now breaks big news before anyone else?

This just in- Beatrice is wearing Vivienne Westwood... what a great day for British designers.

Middletons in a Minibus!

Aww after the amazing arrival of the Prince's, I was expecting something similar for the Middleton's, but no! they arrive in minibuses.

Apparently the American's are baffled by this, as are many other people when you look at how much to town we have gone on everything else.

Ahh well, Carole Middleton looks very nice in a pearly blue suit by Catherine Walker. Elegant and very suitable for the occasion.

Samantha Cameron has just been confirmed to be wearing Burberry, complete with Erdem jewels and suprisingly no hat! Paula from Grazia will be happy!

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are just en-route now- will keep you posted on what they are wearing when they arrive!

Prince's William & Harry arrive!

Hurray! The Prince's are en route and look so happy! Waving to all the crowds and both in military uniform- seriously looking hot!

If they are nervous, they aren't showing it and the crowds are going absolutely wild for them.

And they arrive...

Victoria & David Beckham at the Royal Wedding!

Forget the Queen and Kate Middleton, I was personally all about seeing the Beckhams arrive today, and arrive they just have.

Victoria looking elegant in what looks like a navy blue shift dress, rumoured to be from her own line, complete with Philip Treacy hat and custom made Louboutins.

I wasn't sure when I first saw it, as it looked pretty plain, but the more she appeared pouting on my screens, the more I took to it. Simple and sophisticated- very clever VB.

David just looked like David Beckham always looks- drop dead gorgeous. He killed that Ralph Lauren suit, and with his slicked back hair and strong features, he is arguably the best looking fella in the Abbey at the moment.

Prince William and Prince Harry are yet to arrive however!

Royal Wedding Fever!

Prince William and Kate Middleton: Awww!
I don’t know about you, but I officially have Royal Wedding fever. I’m giddy, smiley and generally happy for a couple I have never met and probably in all likelihood will never meet in my life and yet, I’m still positively brimming with anticipation for tomorrow!

I’m not the only one either. People all over the world are feeling exactly the same as me right now. Impromptu street parties, afternoon tea being served in an almost regal way and a general sense of occasion has got us all in a frenzy.

No-one does a Royal Wedding quite like us, and what’s so amazing is how everyone in the country has got on board with this and vowed to celebrate, despite the tax bill!

There is literally not a soul I know that isn’t doing something for the big day. A Bank Holiday proclaimed in their honour has definitely got people feeling good and despite everything else going on, for one day, everyone will be totally fixated on two people getting married.

Me personally, I’ll be fixated on the dress- as will many other Fashion Eds around the world. It will be a mad rush to see who tweets the designer’s name first, which quite frankly I find hilarious.

I will of course be tweeting and blogging my way through the ceremony with a cup of tea in one hand and a scone in another. And then I’ll be giving you a right Royal round-up on Dress Me Daisy next week, so all in all, I have a pretty busy time ahead of me.

Till tomorrow my Royal followers…

Kate Middleton a fan of Warehouse!

One of my fave Kate Middleton purchases!
Literally anything that's associated with the Royal Wedding will generate HUGE publicity, so you can imagine Warehouse's PR department's delight when the soon-to-be Royal popped into the store to do some shopping.

As you do, you know if you're a normal girl, not a Princess in the making! OK, so she had her bodyguard with her, but still Kate's definitely down with the kids.

Within hours of her choosing four modest items, Warehouse went into overdrive marketing what Kate bought online and releasing a press statement; you can't say they're slow on the uptake can you?!

Still, we've still to cover the most important thing- just what did our style queen buy? Well, I'll tell you- floral and crochet were the order of the day for Kate.

Simple, stylish and understated elegance for a price, which most women wanting to replicate the gorgeous Kate can match.

I don't know about you but the Whistles blouse and Issa engagement dress were very much out of my budget, but this high-street fave has come up trumps by nabbing a style patron like Kate.

Hell, who am I kidding they could cash in on this for years! All I'm waiting for now is to see Kate in the sold out tropical Primark dress, or rocking some scalloped shorts courtesy of Topshop and I'm sold!

Prince William to go Military chic on big day!

While the whole world is still on tenterhooks as to what Kate Middleton will be wearing for her wedding, Prince William it seems, is all sorted!

He will apparently be kitted out in the finest military attire, made by Saville Row's Gieves & Hawkes if reports are to be believed.

Although Wills could wear a suit for his big day, it's expected he will follow tradition in his military uniform- with his RAF uniform the most likely to be selected.

Ooh I do love a man in uniform and I expect Kate will too! At least this takes the fashion limelight off her for a bit, before the media circus starts again.

I cannot wait for their big day- purely for the dress; it will either be a total triumph or fall short of such high expectations.

Considering this is Kate we're talking about and she can pull off a see-through dress, I expect she'll be just fine...
