untitled: Charles-Diana VS. William-Kate Wedding

I missed yesterday's wedding of the century. I was at Masdar City covering the The Market. Not that I care about weddings but I think this one is worth blogging about. So why not compare these two events or at least the main characters of these fairy tales.

Let's start at Charles and Diana's way back. Diana's gown was designed by The Emanuels. What I like about this dress is it is grand. Fit for the term princess. It looked like the ones you imagine when you read those stories with a happily ever after ending,. Do you think she needs squirrels following her around or the seven dwarves?lol

and i really like what Prince Charles was wearing here

and now lets go to William and Kate's.

I really don't like the term "commoner" given to her. So what if she did not come from a royal family. Hans Christian Anderson did not call Cinderella that so why do the press give so much buzz about it. The Royals, like us, are after all human themselves: imperfect with roots of hemophilia(LOL) . So let us stop giving titles shall we.

Now this story could have been every girls dream, only this time Kate's was the right foot to fit in that little glass slipper. This fantasy really needs the whole animal kingdom following her and not just a squeaky squirrel.

And the thing that only matters, the gown. Designed by Sarah Burton, the now creative director of Alexander McQueen. How lucky could this assistant be doing such. So many fashion designers would have wished to do this dress and I think the biggest couture houses in Paris have prepared for this moment. The couple must have decided somebody British to design it and the Alexander McQueen label is just on the forefront when it comes to design, craftmanship, and it being British.. John Galliano would have been a competition but his tongue lashing at a bar kept him inside the box. Can you imagine what the dress would have been like if Gareth Pugh, Vivienne Westwood, Christopher Bailey, Matthew Williamson, Stella McCartney, Phoebe Philo designed it? Hmmm. I want to see Gareth's sketch.I'm sure he has one.

Anyway I really liked the dress she wore.It's simple and low-key a.k.a a disappointment to many. Kate I think is not one of those girls that would want to wear anything flamboyant and crazy. She is not Carrie Bradshaw so that she can wear a bird on her head and choosing a gown that only its details could speak for itself was the best choice. It wasn't a sore to the eye. It's very refreshing to see a wedding gown again like what wedding gowns should be-white, pure, simple, and only a very keen eye on details can appreciate. Look at how this dress gave her shape: the bust and the hips. The delicate lace sleeves-Perfect. She could have it omitted to expose her shoulders but it was like her saying "You can't have it all". and oh, the bouquet reminds of what little girls make for their yet imaginable wedding when they meet their prince one day. Her look here truly speaks of what she really is and her story, and I believe it and I buy it. I really love how opposite she was compared to Diana on her wedding.
