Happy Anniversary!

This time last year the universal buzz about Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding had reached an all time high.  One year later, there is proof that the marriage of a modern-day prince and princess can shape weddings across the world. As the happy couple celebrates their love in private we feel it’s necessary to reminisce on a beautiful day in history.

From bridal runways to a trend in white wedding cakes, couples are taking inspiration from the royal wedding for their own special day.  The craze has transformed the beloved sweetheart-neckline wedding dress to one with lace and sleeves and has brought the lace trimmed veil back to life. Just weeks ago, designers like Carolina Herrera and Monique Lhuillier sent collections down the runway with several inspirations from Kate and Pippa Middleton’s uniquely beautiful gowns.

Wedding cakes with traditional piped icing has peaked once again, and couples across the country are requesting royal white wedding cakes to accompany their big day.  The number of people opting to get married in a church has increased five percent from last year, the first increase in ten years!

 

We want to hear what you think! What are you favorite memories from this special day in history?
