Like much of the Western World, I watched the Royal Wedding of William to Catherine. Kate's dress, by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen was beautiful. A great "Princess" dress for a wedding in a Cathedral.

These days not too many brides wear the big princess dress, partly I think because many women get married later and older women prefer more sophisticated straighter shapes, rather than the Disney Princess style of the meringue dress (which is more favoured by younger brides). But also, most of us don't get married in huge Cathedrals or Abbys, so we don't need the big dress to command the space. If you're getting married outside or in the garden or on a balcony then a big dress is encumbering.
