Expecting What? The Royal Wedding

People around the world are expecting Kate and William’s grand marriage on this Friday. While some details are confirmed, others have everyone speculating. Here’re some including guest list, wedding party, designer wedding gown, evening reception etc.,

The Arrivals

In addition to Kate and William ‘s friends from university, Will’s air force buddies, foreign leaders, church officials, and diplomats, celeb guests will include Victoria and David Beckham.

The majority of guests will arrive between 8:15 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. Will and Harry will arrive at 10:10 a.m., followed by foreign royals. Kate’s mom, Carole, will arrive at the Abbey’s VVIP entrance at 10:30 a.m., just before Will’s family (including the Queen) arrives. The bridesmaids and pages will show up 10:55 a.m., and then Kate and her father, Michael, will arrive via the Queen’s Rolls Royce Phantom.

The Wedding Dress

The rumors have been swirling: At first, fashion insiders whispered that Bruce Oldfield (a favorite of Princess Diana’s) was the chosen designer of Kate’s wedding gown. Then the names of Alice Temperley, Amanda Wakeley, and Jasper Conran came up, before the Sunday Times claimed that Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen had been chosen. Most recently, Sophie Cranston of Libélula is said to have won the coveted commission. (Interestingly, Cranston has worked under Alexander McQueen and Alice Temperley.)

James Pryce of the Richard Ward Salon will be tending to Kate’s locks. The stylist has reportedly said that Kate will be wearing her hair down, and that she may opt for flowers instead of a tiara.

Finally, inside sources say that Pippa has been spotted at Alice Temperley’s atelier, making the British designer the front-runner for her bridesmaid dress.

The Grand Exit

The newlyweds will then head to Buckingham Palace in the same carriage that transported Will’s parents—a 1902 State Landau originally made for the coronation of Edward VII.

The Evening Reception

Usually, after the wedding breakfast, royal couples jet off to a honeymoon destination, but Kate and William plan to stick around for a private dinner reception and night of dancing at the Palace, hosted by the Prince of Wales. Starting around 8 p.m., this 300 person reception will include friends and family. Insiders say the evening is expected to be a “rather loud disco.”
