I don’t know about you, but I am completely captivated with the notion of a royal wedding in 2011. And now that Prince William and Kate have set a date for a spring wedding—April 29, 2011—it seems so much more enchanting; it’s a real-live fairy tale right before our eyes. Oh, was that too cheesy? Eh, it’s a royal wedding, so things are allowed to be a little over the top!
When Kate first snagged the prince, I remember thinking how elegant she looked. Of course, I was green with envy that she was dating Prince William, but all jealousy aside, she really did strike me as a modern-day princess. Today is no different, because every time a new photo of her pops up the word “classic” springs to mind.
At the moment, all I can think about is what type of dress Kate will wear in her spring wedding. We’ll have to wait until a few more months to find out, but I imagine it will culminate Kate’s modern style, but still be appropriate to wear in front of the Queen. The type of dress a bride wears can really set the mood for the entire celebration.

When I first started thinking about the dress she could wear, my mind immediately went to London designer Stephanie Allin. She creates gowns that are simple, charming, romantic, and fit for a (soon-to-be) queen. I just love the lace boleros that give a soft touch to the whole ensemble.
Then again, Kate strikes me as a fashion-forward type of girl who always likes to take today’s trends and run with it.

One-shoulder straps are forecasted to be hot for bridal attire in 2011, and don’t those gown just look perfect for a royal wedding? No matter which designer she chooses and what gown she picks, one thing is certain: Kate Middleton is going to make a stunning bride.
