The wedding dress was a stunning ivory and satin lacey gown which had a plunging neckline. Kate’s wedding shoes were hand-embroidered with lace at the Royal School of Needlework in Surrey, UK. Her tiara was loaned to her by the Queen and was Cartier, and her Robinson Pelham earrings were bought for her by her parents. After the wedding the couple appeared on the balcony at Buckingham Palace to give the watching crowd the obligatory kiss. The initial kiss was a quick peck on the lips. The crowd chanted “Kiss Her Again!” so the young royals gave them exactly what they wanted.
