Until the wedding day no one knew who would be the designer of Kate Middleton's gown. Since her engagement to Prince William, this information has been one of the most closely guarded secret of the royal wedding. Kate Middleton, now the new Princes Catherine wore a wedding dress designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. The wedding dress is an ivory gown with lace applique floral detail. She is also wearing shoes by Alexander McQueen and wearing a Cartier ‘halo’ tiara lent by Queen Elizabeth.

Why did Princess Kate chose Alexander McQueen? The official royal wedding website posted a statement saying, “Miss Middleton chose British brand Alexander McQueen for the beauty of its craftsmanship and its respect for traditional workmanship and the technical construction of clothing." The wedding gown's train is six feet long and shaped perfect arc when seen above. 

Compared to the late Princess Diana's gown. Princess Catherine's train was shorter. But they are both elegant, beautiful and very simple.

What Time Does the Royal Wedding Start?

It's finally happening! The wedding of the decade. The royal wedding of Prince William and future princess Kate Middleton is on the way. The actual wedding ceremony will be at 11am BST in the UK. But TV coverage will start earlier for Kate Middleton's procession. What to expect before the actual ceremony? Of course, celebrities, royalties and high profile guests arriving at the Westminster Abbey.

In United states and Canada the wedding ceremony begins at 6am for east coast and 3am for west coast. If you want to watch the wedding procession, it will start at 10:30am in the UK. So that would mean 5:30am for east coast and 2:30am for west coast of United States and Canada.

Royal Wedding Details and Schedules

Prince William and fiance Kate Middleton will have their Royal Wedding this coming April 29. Most of us have been to weddings of friends and relatives. Can you imagine what it would be like to plan the royal wedding? With an ordinary wedding, we just have the church and the reception. Just to give you an idea, I saw a simplified schedule of the wedding day. It's more complicated than it looks.

Royal Wedding Day details from unveiled.blogs.cnn.com
  • 8:00 a.m.-9:00 a.m.: It will be announced whether William and Kate will take a new title. The decision will be made by the couple and the Queen
  • 8:30 a.m.: Guests will begin arriving at Westminster Abbey. Members of the general congregation and guests who arrive before 10 a.m. will use a side entrance known as the Great North Door
  • 10 a.m.: The VIPs start to arrive - Government officials first (both foreign and domestic), to be followed by royal families. Kate Middleton is set to arrive before the Royal Family
  • 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m.: The Royal Family will arrive, with the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh being the last of the family to enter the Abbey
  • 10:50-11:00: Bridesmaids arrive
  • 11:00 a.m.: Kate Middleton and her father will arrive (collective sigh/gasp!). Details about Kate's dress have not been released in-part because Kate wishes to surprise William (a traditional prerogative/superstition). The moment Kate steps out of the car, details about the dress, shoes and accessories will be released and distributed
  • The service will be officiated by the Dean of Westminster. As is tradition, the marriage will be solemnized by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Prince Charles played a huge role in selecting the music. Only Kate will wear a wedding band
  • 12:15 p.m. (approximately): Bells will ring as the couple exits the Abbey. A carriage procession will head to Buckingham Palace
  • 12:30-12:40 p.m.: Carriage procession will arrive at the Palace
  • 12:40 p.m.: Private family photographs will be taken inside Buckingham Palace - an official shot of the happy couple is expected to be released Saturday morning by 11 a.m.
  • 1:25 p.m.: The couple, the Queen and their families will appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace
  • 1:30 p.m. (precisely!): There will be a Royal Air Force fly-past
  • 7:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.: Approximately 300 guests will return to Buckingham Palace for dinner and dancing hosted by Prince Charles. The crowd will mostly be friends and family, particularly William and Kate's young friends. Speeches will take place

Kate Middleton's Coat of Arms as the New Princess

Kate Middleton now has her own coat of arms(left). Supposedly, Kate has the right to apply herself a crest to the College of Arms which deals with coat of arms matters. But her father wanted the whole family to be able to use the crest. That's why Michael Middleton was the one who petitioned for the coat of arms which reportedly costs 4,400 pounds. This means that

his other children, Pippa and James, and his wife Carole Middleton can also use the crest. So technically, Kate Middleton's family is the ones who has the new coat of arms.

The new coat of arms is pretty simple in design compared to the prince's. The three acorns represents the three children including Kate. The two thin white chevron symbolizes snowy mountains which represents the family's love for skiing and outdoors. The gold chevron in the middle represents the mother, Carole. It was colored gold because Carole's maiden name was Goldsmith. The Colors red and blue in the background represents the Union flag of UK and matches the recently revised Prince William's coat of arms.
