I really like this one for Kate

 

[COUNTESS]

I hope not. It is hideous. What she needs is something elegant and timeless, not some gown that looks like K-Mart designs.

 

[carianne]

^Maybe it's not your taste, so don't be rude..

I like that too. Though I think she'll have something with sleeves.

 

[carianne]

^I agree. I hope whatever Kate picks looks special and regal.

 

[Catherine Helvin]

Yes, I quite like that one.

 

[lallyvee]

I'm surprised she hasn't picked a designer yet. They don't have that much time before the wedding. Maybe, she has and it just hasn't been announced.

 

[Susan D]

I hope she chooses wisely and that there is not another Lady Di type horror story.

 

[Sonjapearl]

Maybe she has chosen and is keeping it under wraps?

 

[MRSJ]

Maybe she has chosen and is keeping it under wraps?

I agree, because I am thinking you need more then 4 months to make a dress....

Wedding Flowers

What ever dress Kate wears, I'm sure she will look spectacular. My personal opinion is that she is not a veil person. I would like her bouquet to be a cascade, full of fragrant Roses and Sweet Williams. I would be a nice gesture to her prince.

 

[ThePrincessRoyal]

I'm excited to see what type of dress she will choose!

That bouquet would be heavy for Catherine to carry.

Christine Kendall also designs beautiful wedding dresses. I heard that Kate wanted Phillipa Lepley to design her dress.

Whoever the designer is, I wish they would tell us!

 

[Crown Jewel]

The bouquet I described is very similar to my own. It was not heavy at all.

I like the idea of Sweet Williams in Kate's wedding bouquet but IMHO, a bride is not a bride without a veil, or when the veil is very low down at the back of the wearer's head, especially at a royal wedding, and a future Queen's wedding, come to that.

Germanys "Bild" is spekulating about Catherine's wedding dress. Picture #1 would be a very nice dress IMO and I also think picture #7 is very interesting, but I really can't see Catherine in that kind of dress.

What about this type of style http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu233/weareready2008/AA/a019.jpg

I like that style but for a venue like Westminster Abbey, I'd very definitely have a much longer train and veil.

Love that one together with this one.
I am a big fan of lace onto a wedding dress, that gives the dress something 'extra'.

It sure does, especially if it's embroidered with beads and/or sequins for that bit of extra sparkle.

 

[Empress Merel]

I hope she wears something with a mermaidtale skirt. Coco Rocha's dress was a dream. Though the skirt may be a bit too much for Kate, but it's something different without the usual strapless/sleeves and wide skirt.

I sure hope someone stops Kate if she wants a dress like that! It's OK for Coco to show off her butt like that, but not for Kate.

 

[MARG]

If she wore something like that she would have to waddle/mince up the aisle, it's so tight. And the Abby aisle is very long!!! We'd all be rolling in the aisles by the time she reached her Prince!!

 

[Queens of Portugal]

Honestly - I would love to see her in a very different style. I love the ballerina length dresses with the bouffant tulle skirts of the 50's - very Grace Kelly - with a fitted embroidered jacket with crystals and pearls. She is so petite she would look lovely. There would be one dress for the church and another for the reception. She looks great in fitted styles. Also .. what will Zara wear in the Spring?

I would love to see her in a 50's style ballerina length tule and lace dress with lace jacket. I love that mid length .. not to the floor but above the ankle. She is so petite it would look great on her.

 

[Queens of Portugal]

I like the dresses ( Lady Atlanta) but I think protocol suggests the bride has to cover he shoulders and her arms.

 

[Empress Merel]

I sure hope someone stops Kate if she wants a dress like that! It's OK for Coco to show off her butt like that, but not for Kate.

That's what we call curves.... You can't see her butt crack, so I don't see the problem.

 

[Sternchen]

Maxima wore something similar at the wedding of Victoria and Daniel. And weddingdresses like that are totally in right now.
I think I have 20 Bridal Magazines here, and this kind of dresses are in all of them.

I would also like something like this Justin Alexander dress for Kate http://justinalexanderbridal.com/product-detail.php?id=712&entity_id=1071

I know all about curves, I have them myself. To me, her dress is an awful, theatrical costume. The dress is designed to cling and she's obviously not wearing underwear. No, although you can't see her "actual" butt crack, the eye is drawn to her backside so you must have a look...tacky.

Also why on earth would they open their video with the Pie Jesu from the Faure Requiem. These people don't have a clue. I guess that's why I don't like her dress.

Kate is quite slim, but not petite. She's 5' 10" tall (1.524 m)! There is a thread for dresses for Zara somewhere, as I posted to it a couple of days ago.
