Royal Wedding predictions

I know I sometimes come off anti-wedding, but I actually love all the details, excess and glamour that goes into enormous celebrity affairs. I love hearing how many pounds of caviar and gallons of champagne they ordered and how many thousands of pearls were sewn to the veil. That's why I'm stoked for the Royal Wedding.

So what will we see April 29th? Well, Kate Middleton knows how much I like making trend predictions, so she called me and asked me to blog my ideas. Here you go, Kate:

The Gown

Kate will wear a British designer, putting the spotlight on UK talent. Judging by Kate's modern, streamlined taste, the gown will be close fitted on top, and flare out to a full ballgown skirt, to suit the grandeur of Westminster Abbey. The gown will include modern beading and will probably have sleeves, since Kate's Grandmother-in-law is the head of the Church of England and they're getting married in a church, after all.

Take for example these beautiful gowns by Brit Jenny Packham:

My favorite is the third one down - so romantic! 

Jewelry

Kate and William met in at school in Scotland, and he gave her his mother's sapphire ring. Kate will roll with the colored-gem theme and choose these stunning green emerald and diamond pendant and earrings from jeweler to the Royals, Garrand. The knotted setting and fresh green jewel remind her of making out at college in the Scotland highlands.

So pretty!

The wheels

The Royals are big on symbolism: A documentary I saw of Sarah Ferguson's wedding to Prince Andrew showed Sarah walking down the aisle with a crown of flowers in her hair, which was then lifted to reveal a diamond tiara underneath as she walked back down, to symbolize her transition from commoner to part of the Royal Family. There's also been rumors that Kate will be the first Royal bride to arrive at her wedding in a car, not a horse-drawn carriage. I think this would be totally appropriate since she's a true Cinderella story - to arrive in a car and leave in a Royal carriage is pretty romantic.

Of course, if she does that, it should be one helluva car. How about this green-energy fueled Bentley? Queen likes it, don't you Queen?

So there are a few of my predictions. I may have a few more as the weeks go by, but geeze I've hypothetically spent almost a million dollars already. I'm exhausted.

You're welcome, Kate!
