Will & Kate - changing wedding trends?
Good morning ladies - I thought of you guys when I was reading the paper this morning! Apparently women are now wanting tiered receptions because of Will and Kate!
Happy reading.

"If the ROYAL FAMILY can have a tiered reception then it's NOT BAD ETIQUETTE!"
If brides are really comparing themselves to royalty, then I doubt anyone can talk any sense into them.

If you (as a bride) are comparing yourself to Kate Middleton and the royal family, you really need a bitchslap in the face from reality.

[QUOTE]Her flowers are getting popular. I thought her flowers were so boring! Where is the colour!?

Exactly. I would have thought they could have done better than that with all the money they have.
Seriously?!?
Boys choirs??? WTF. People are so ridiculous. Do these brides also have taxpayers paying for their wedding? Funny, watching the royal wedding reminded me of how much I loved my wedding, not what I'd change.

[QUOTE]I can hear some BSC chicks saying "OMG, I need to marry someone in the military so he can wear his uniform to MY wedding." The Royal Wedding is great. Trying to copy it is just pathetic to me.

<div>I don't understand wearing military uniforms for your wedding. My dad didn't wear his, and he is refusing to be buried in it, either. All of his friends told him he was crazy not to do it. Am I missing something?</div>

Nope, I'm with you. Everyone keeps asking FI and his response is always "I love what I do but no one else has to get married in their work clothes, why should I?" Plus I thought Will's uniform was too much.

Ditto PP. The flowers she chose are traditional in England.
[QUOTE]Is there some genetic marker that some women are born with that makes them BSC over weddings? Apparently, it kicks in at around age five and goes into full force after watching a royal wedding, Platinum Weddings or by reading the mags. Eeesh!

Apparently this, like the genetic marker that should have given me boobs bigger than Skipper's, missed me. I sort of hate weddings.

agreed.
I love this and as a math major I appreciate the usage of a mathematical symbol :P
[QUOTE]I thought the flowers suited the style, but I just really like colour. It's just my personal style.

It's also tradition for royal brides to have all white bouquets.

[QUOTE]I wasn't impressed with the idea of brides flocking to have a morning ceremony because of the royal wedding. Mine is at 11am because that's when I wanted it...not because the royal wedding had a morning ceremony. Lame.
Posted by missfarar[/QUOTE]
What's funny is that a morning ceremony is, by definition, more casual. Hence why the guests all changed into formal attire for the evening dinner ceremony. Not exactly the most. formal. wedding. ever. Though lovely just the same.
