Wedding Wednesday (Wills & Kate Part 2)

As promised here is the 2nd part of the Wedding series for Prince William of Wales, Duke of Cambridge & Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (better known as Wills & Kate). On Friday they will celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary. Let's celebrate with them


The Bride: Catherine Elizabeth Middleton. Kate's dress was a sensation. It looked fantastic on her, but it was also simple and beautiful. It wasn't lavish, it's a dress every bride could wear. She also didn't have a large bouquet, which meant we could actually see what she wore.


A close up of Kate's tiara. She wore the 1936 Cartier Halo Tiara. It's currently owned by Queen Elizabeth II and was lent to Kate for her wedding day. The piece was originally owned by Queen Elizabeth's mother, Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
