The bride looked stunning in her McQueen dress and what a fabulous tribute to the late fashion designer!
And the groom ... well don't get me started ... having felt compelled all those years ago to get to London by whatever means necessary to pay a personal tribute to Diana ... well ... she would have been soooooo proud of both her boys today ... and I have to admit ... I pretty much cried from start to finish! As for the new titles ... Duke and Duchess of Cambridge ... C'mon ... Hands up ... Who heard it here first :0) I am incredibly proud that they have that title ... having been born in Cambridge ... well it just makes the whole day even more special!
Are you impressed? I even managed to remember to blog the tag book from inside yesterday's Maya Road house ... or should I say Hice! The chip tags were stained ... inked and spritzed into submission and then stamped with Lord Tim of Holtz's Bitty Grunge ... you know Tim ... the man that stopped the rain from falling during the Royal Wedding while ensuring the sun shone at exactly the right time with just a Charm Clip and a Bauble! The other stamps used are indeed THE Wendy Vecchi!
Right ... I have spent far too long sat gawping at the big screen this morning ... I need to go do some work! Oh! Oh! Before you go ... opinions of THE dress please ... in the comments ... I tried discussing it with John ... but he is more interested in the bloomin snooker!
Laters!

Hi Linda, well what a day! Completely agree with you that Diana would have been so proud and delighted with her boys and she would have finally got the daughter she longed for. I cried a lot too :).
And the dress? I think it was just perfect. Not too fussy, not too grand, and it speaks volumes about the kind of person she is - classy and grounded.
Love, Helen x
Loving your 'family' art book.
I too made it to london after Diana passed and thought it a real shame she didn't get to see her boy get married but she would of been so so proud i think.
As for Kate dress, I thought she looked amazing, I like that it had an almost 50's styling with the pretty lace
I thought the dress was perfect - understated, elegant, beautiful. I agree, Diana would have been very proud of how William and Harry have grown up. Whatever anyone says about him, I think Charles has a lot to say in that.
Oh, and your tags are beautiful too.
I thought the dress was so elegant, beautiful and just Kate's style. I agree Diana would have been so proud of her sons. Your artwork is gorgeous, fabulous colour choice. Tracy x
I've been glued to the tv as well Linda and my first thougths when William and Harry appeared were how proud Diana would have been of her boys. The dress was jsut beautiful, she looked so calm.
Loving your wee book too x
Loved the tag book - such a great idea. Liked the instruction to turn the page! I loved the wedding - thought William looked so handsome and such a romantic Prince for his bride! Kate's dress was so understated - very Grace Kelly! Though... Beatrice's hat was truly hideous!
Dress was beautiful We thought it reminiscent of Princess Margaret's with a bit of the Queen's. It was so unfussy and suited the occasion perfectly. Loved her sister's dress too!
I adored the dress, just classic. I really don't think she could have had better. It fitted the occasion and looked stunning... P.S love the tag book! xx
Gorgeous tag book Linda!
The dress...well it was just beautiful, not over fussy, just the right amount of detail and suited her down to the ground (no pun intended!)

Call me mad - but I though it was all wonderful...very exciting, romantic and fairy-tale like. What must she have thought walking into the Abbey and then on the balcony? Thought of Diana too, was so glad it all went safely and it was great to see such a buzz and joy in London - we all needed a day like this - what's wrong with a bit of Monarchy and patriotic pride???? The Dress was just perfect - can't wait to see the lace in detail. Apparently it is embroidered with shamrocks,daffodils and roses. Big sighs...and back to Distress inks.

lol u are fun! and another Wendy worshiper like moi! cute tags ! The DRESS! LOVE IT! Kate is a beauty, not showy, genuine..Diana would have ADORED her...tearful yes, but what a memory!
I must admit to perhaps needing a tissue or two during the service, she looked just abfab. Thanks for the heads up on wendy Im off to add my comment and I defn wont be sharing :)
Everything was amazingly perfect in every way! And I told everyone I knew about their titles shortly after you posted...boy, did I get the comments today...how did you know...let's just say a cyber birdie had it on good authority! lol Keeping my fingers crossed I win something on Wendy's blog! I only need another 450+ posts and maybe I can do this! lol
Fabulous tag book - colours are so yummy.
Sat glued to the TV for the wedding itself but then had to break off and do taxi service for daughter. Came back with the intention of doing some work but then sat watching the highlights of bits I'd missed.
As for the dress it was simply stunning - very understated and elegent - like the bride. Thought Pippa's dress was fabulous too and the little bridesmaids were divine.
Awesome book!! Beautifully created as always!!!
Fabulous piece of work Linda.
The dress was just stunning - so elegant and unfussy. Her sister and the little bridesmades were sweet and I liked that the flowers were very simple as well. As you say - we can put on a bit of a do!
i was lucky enough to see Diana once - she visited Basingstoke in connection with the national Childbirth Trust, and had a ringside view at the edge of the pavement.

The wedding was incredible! I woke my daughters (age 8 and 5) up at 5:30 to watch it with me. We were riveted, pausing only to have some English muffins and tea for breakfast. It was an incredible ceremony and the royal couple were an inspiration. It was a great way to start the day.
I've been watching it on youtube together with my 5 y/o son and we both were amazed!!! What a couple! <3 Well... dress was just as I love it!! Sister's dress was just... WOW!!! :))) a lot of emotions here ;)
I absolutely loved it - it suited her perfectly
was a gorgeous day throughout, and I spotted you holding that bouquet of flowers behind the bride!! you looked absolutely stunning! rofl

Love the dress. The wedding was beautiful. She made a beautiful bride, you guys do know how to throw a wedding! :)
The dress was lovely, & they do look so happy together. You're right, Diana would have been so proud. Your mini tag book is lovely too.

love the tag book! loved the wedding...the dress was fab - so classy, simple and elegant, the princes were handsome, beatrice and eugenia were hysterical, a delightful day....my little sister and I watched the Diana wedding in the middle of the night all those years ago...she was just 17, entering her last year of high school, and i was 25 and eight months pregnant with my son...we had a slumber party that night and did a repeat on thursday/friday morning. (TV coverage started at 2am here....when William and Harry left Clarence House at 4:10 am we cheered so loudly we woke my husband and son....fortunately for us, we get the BBC on cable, so we could have your lovely accents on the narration - i know, i know, you think we are the onew with accents!) It was all delightful....only thing we can´t figure out is what kind of flowers were in her bouquet..we think we see lilies of the valley, but also something bigger....have tried to google it and cannot find a listing...perhaps some of you can help! have a great week...
Sorry I'm a bit late with my comment Linda but I've had a very important Bride to Be here since Friday (my daugher). The Wedding we are planning is only two weeks next Saturday and is the main reason my blog hopping has been curtailed of late. I thought Kate's dress was stunning and absolutely perfect for her. Although I was a Diana fan I have never got over the monstrosity that was her wedding dress so I was really pleased to see that Kate was true to herself and her own personality. The best part of the whole thing for me was how happy and comfortable together William and Kate looked and I think that is what Diana would have wanted for her son(s) above all else.
Your family tags are great. Love the colours and the stamps used.
Hugs
Lesley Xx
