First, let's hear it for the Mother of the Bride, who looked incredible. And talk about poise and class. This woman has it all. Doria Ragland is a yoga instructor and social worker who has been thrust into the spotlight without it seems, any prior exposure to the press, etc. Doria nailed it, in every respect. The proud and happy expression on her face said it all. I loved the colour of her dress, the embroidery, the clutch, her natural makeup, and of course, her fascinator. Let's take a look:
Now, some of the fascinators and hats........
Now wait just a minute.......is that just a HINT of a smile from Victoria? THAT may have been the biggest news of the wedding day. All kidding aside, Victoria's fascinator is pretty and very demure. The entire outfit is a bit of a dark colour for a spring wedding I thought. But, the fascinator does look fantastic, beautiful proportion and just enough netting to look quite innocent.
Look at Kitty Spencer, Diana's niece, she looks absolutely flawless. I adore her entire outfit. I know that I am supposed to talk about the fascinators, but I just cannot help myself from talking about the entire look. Kitty's look is one of my faves from the day.....the colour, the embroidery, the slightly fluted bottom of the dress, her makeup, shoes, and of course the fascinator.......sheer perfection.
The Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice........BEFORE......
And.........AFTER.........
I must say.......I was quite disappointed in the outfits and hats.........way too much of a change from the previous Royal Wedding. I was hoping for much more girls............why bring out the 'frump' for such a fashionable occasion?
And here is Fergie. I do think she looked lovely. And I don't say that very often about Fergie. I just wish her mouth hadn't been open so much of the time when she was walking towards the chapel. I do like navy blue, but again, I am not sure that it is the colour for a spring wedding. The bit of pink on the collar and at the sleeves did lighten it up a bit though. And the fascinator was okay, the bit of netting certainly was not nearly enough to make Fergie 'demure'....;) I am glad that she was invited though, after all, she is the mother of two princesses.
The Queen looked lovely. The purple with the lime green is an incredible combo. I love that the Queen is wearing more daring colour these days, they look great on her. And there's a smile. But the handbag could have been purple perhaps, instead of black? Just a thought.
Alright, alright.......I guess I have to mention these two guests. Not quite sure who they are but the yellow outfit, although not my favourite colour for an outfit, was tailored impeccably and the hat, yes, this is a hat, was placed exactly where it should have been placed. And the guy, well, I would have expected a fancier suit from him. A darker colour would have bee nice to really set off the yellow. Ugh........
Priyanka.......full on classy glam. PERFECTION........I don't even know what else to say. One of my faves for sure.
Here is another angle of the hat:
O.M.G.
Now Ms. Oprah killed it in that hat. The angle, the upturned brim at the side, the flowers, the feathers, the glasses........girl, you look fantastic! And Oprah got to sit in the choir section too! Even Fergie didn't get that far in the church ;)
Well, I don't know who this girl is with Priyanka, but I ADORE her entire ensemble. Polka dots are welcome at ANY British festivity as far as I am concerned. She epitomized 'spring wedding' attire. The rosettes on her fascinator just were the cherry on top of the cake. Well done.
Now here is my pick for best-dressed couple, well let's face it, I really am more interested in the dress and hat, but James looks perfect in his morning suit. His wife is STUNNING. Can I say it again? STUNNING. I am a lover of florals and if you look closely, these are embroidered florals. Look at the Peter Pan collar, the colours, the length, the slight fluting on the skirt portion, the trim on the hem, sleeves, and collar, and of course the fascinator. BEAUTIFUL. Loved everything about it. Spot on.
Well, Birgit, I could go on and on and on, but I have gardening to do.......hahahaha. Please let me know what you think. I didn't go into many 'disapproving' outfits, I think I will leave that to you.
