The designers of the dress were David and Elizabeth Emanuel. It is one of the most famous dresses in the world and and is now in a museum and considered priceless. Only two people have acess and permission to touch it and they have to wear white gloves when doing so.
The recent publicity and hype surrounding Kate Middletons dress has meant that wedding dress designers all over the world now have wedding dress styled replicas of the that design so that people can either buy one directly or have one made to order.
Bridesmaids dresses
Another effect resulting from the royal wedding has been that many people want a replica styled dress of Kate Middletons sister, Pippa Middletons for their bridesmaids or maids of honour. The design of dress was very simple and elegant and suitably demure for the occasion. It was also designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen.
Many other brides however choose to put their bridesmaids in a very different styled dress to their own and usually in a very different colour to ivory white. The variety of choice is vast and will usually depend on the brides wedding theme. If a bride for example chooses a classic Cinderella fairytale wedding theme then you would expect the bridesmaids to be dresses in blue to compliment the overall theme. Another example would be an autumn themed wedding where the bridesmaids may be dressed in a shade of gold of red to compliment the tones of autumn.
