The Royal Wedding: across the web

Here is a selection of articles on the Royal Wedding from around the web.

For those, like me, who wouldn’t know an Empire Line if it slapped them in the face, Vogue’s fashion live blog has all the details and photographs of what broadcasters have called a “festival of British fashion.”

Sam Cam was wearing a dress from Burberry, Princess Beatrice was bedecked in Vivienne Westwood and, the main event, Kate Middleton’s dress was made by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. The Telegraph’s outgoing Fashion Editor, Hillary Alexander has more details here. It’s been quite a sales demonstration for Britain’s leading designers. Export led recovery here we come!

As Vanity Fair observes, the limelight was stolen briefly by Grace van Cutsem, Prince William’s goddaughter and one of the bridesmaids. Nicholas van Cutsem, Grace’s uncle, led the the Household Cavalry troop that accompanied the royal couple’s carriage from the abbey to the palace.
