The bride wore a gorgeous Alexander McQueen gown, designed by Creative Director Sarah Burton, with lace long sleeves whichi personally think made the dress look one hundred times better <3..

The lace appliqué was hand-made by the Royal School of Needlework using the Carrickmacross lace-making technique.

The length of the dress train was just over 8 feet, which was supported by the bride of honour, Kate's sister.

The tiara that Kate went for was fab, she chose it although she had a variety of choices to choose from. The tiara that Kate is wearing is a Cartier 'halo' tiara loaned to her by Queen Elizabeth II. Originally a gift from the Queen's father, King George VI, to the Queen Mother, it was given to the Queen on her 18th birthday.











kate's veil was made of ivory silk tulle in the Royal School of Needlework. "I am delighted that the dress represents the best of British craftsmanship," Alexander McQueen's Burton said in a statement. "It has been the experience of a lifetime to work with Catherine Middleton to create her wedding dress, and I have enjoyed every moment of it."
