An ill-shod gnome, eh? LOL.

yes, Caroline, for real. evidence above if you click to enlarge the pic.

I think that pretty much everyone looked ridiculous, I kind of liked Queen Victoria of Sweden’s outfit (I like peach :/) and Posh’s. Also all of the old women in the big picture. A lot of the other people looked like the Fanta chicks. Hats are not an excuse for people to dress like they’re in the space age.

Ugh. Most of them looked like they were going out for a night on the town. And black at a wedding?!
I liked Princess Letizia’s ensemble – for a young woman. I’m with you, Satori: let the bride shine, it’s her day.

Joss Stone is just fabulous..period
That is an awesome picture!

That was meant to have a question mark at the end.

Though, apparently yellow (flowers) means hate, at least that’s what I learned from Kate and Leopold. So, queen’s outfit..

Beatrice and Eugenie are their mother’s daughters – they have zilch taste, and always look absolutely dreadful! You keep thinking they will get it at some point, but no sign so far…

I agree Sam Cameron should have worn a hat. Some women went to the other extreme and tried much too hard, but I didn’t watch them all going into the Abbey so missed most of the fashion. Some of the hats I could see were well OTT, inc Camilla’s.

@dina yes I mean a hat!..LOL

Satori, is that you in the background?? lol

“However, in Europe at the time of the introduction of these roses, the color yellow carried much more negative overtones. Consequently, yellow roses were long used as a symbol for jealousy and dying love. As time went on, however, the more universal meanings connected with the color yellow have come to prevail and entwine themselves with the yellow rose.”

It’s revisionist

With Moon conjunct Uranus on MC, this marriage will stay with the public…and maybe bring something new to all of us, a new model of transcending….polarity..duality…a futuristic love?

Ooh is that the Princess Royal in that gorgeous violet print coat? I love it! (second picture down, on the right) Also in the same picture, that pink suit with the hat – brilliant and beautifully appropriate.

And yes, I know how to dress for weddings and funerals. Doesn’t mean I always *have* the clothes, but for an important occasion I will *get* them!

Not wearing white a rule? In the States, maybe, but not in England where it’s actually the CUSTOM for the Bridesmaids to wear white. ALL the Bridesmaids — those little girls aren’t Flower Girls as that’s not a custom they have either. They’re Bridesmaids as well.

So even if YOU found it inappropriate, it made perfect sense to them.

Now, as for dressing like they’re pole dancing later? Well, they ARE royals, after all, so … :^)

let’s face it; there are no rules for anything anymore. people do as they please, everywhere, in everything. I have capricorn and I favor tradition, and order.

I was actually aware that Pippa wearing white, as part of the bridal party, was very traditional.

I recently went to a wedding – it was fun to dress up.
