Something Borrowed: The Tiara that Kate wore was Queen Elizabeth's II
William Lee Adams states in the Times Newsfeed, "The head of the Windsor clan loaned Kate her Cartier 'halo' tiara for her long walk down the aisle. The dazzling piece of headgear was commissioned in 1936 by the Duke of York (who would later become King George VI) for his wife Elizabeth—the Queen Mum. In 1946, she passed the crown on to her daughter, the current Queen, for her 18th birthday."

{I think the cutest thing I heard about Kate's Wedding Look was that she was doing her own make up for the day! She has been taking lessons from a London make-up artist and would be giving herself that perfect wedding glow!}

OK on to Prince William... How amazing did he look in his Deep Red Uniform???

{ I think the sweetest thing of the whole wedding was when Prince William looked at Kate and whispered " You look Beautiful" every woman in the world melted at that moment! hehehe"}

The Ceremony was held in Westminster Abbey. The Couple took much consideration in picking out who would do the music for the service they decided up on the following:

•    The London Chamber Orchestra
