THE ROYAL WEDDING OF PRINCE WILLIAM & KATE MIDDLETON

2011-04-03T15:30:00.001+10:00

We have spent many moments discussing just what Kate’s dress will look like, and though we can not claim to be privy to the fashion secret of the decade, there’s no harm in guessing, so whilst the world's fashionistas wait eagerly to see Kate's wedding gown, we have chosen one of our signature Basilica Couture Gowns, "Angelina", because it would be the perfect style for this royal bride to wear as it is a blend of both regal and classic, with the combination of both modern and vintage, it would show off Kate's silhouette, the collar would frame her face and jewelled crown and the cuff's will showcase her exquisite engagement and wedding rings. We have found out some information and facts about the Royal wedding to share with you.
Did you know?

The date has been set when Prince William is to marry Kate Middleton on Friday 29 April 2011 at Westminster Abbey, London. The ceremony will take place at 11am UK time that would be around 8pm Sydney time.
When Kate walks down the aisle, that she will be the oldest Royal bride to get married.
At the Royal Couple’s press conference Kate indicated that she would like to be called by her given name ‘Catherine’, rather than Kate.
If Prince William had chosen to marry before his 25th birthday he would have required the consent of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Announcing The 2011 Badgley Mischka Bridesmaids Collection.

2011-02-27T02:08:00.000+11:00

From the label synonymous with glamorous evening wear, Badgley Mischka Bridesmaids captures the essence of Badgley Mischka with its sophistication, romance, and a nod to vintage Hollywood glamour in their bridesmaids collection. Badgley Mischka Bridesmaids offers a more elegant, evening look than the traditional bridesmaid dress. They bring a true luxury designer brand to a category that has a void of luxury designer names. A wedding would not be complete without a beautifully dressed bridal party.

Eva Longoria outfitted her nine bridesmaids in fiery red, the couple's favourite colour, dresses from Badgley Mischka. Each of the attendants wore a different style in the same shade of either silk satin or silk chiffon. This an excellent idea, especially when your bridesmaids are different sizes, height and body shapes. The Badgley Mischka Bridesmaids fabrics include satin, satin-faced taffeta, chiffon over charmeuse and tulle over charmeuse and each fabric has 10-12 colour options, from pastels to neutrals to deep tones. These gowns are offered in sizes from 6 to 26 and the very latest collection is now available at our Basilica Couture salon.

You are welcomed to make an appointment to select from the collection or if you are unable to visit our salon, you can place your order by email or over the phone and we can assist you by emailing you the colour charts and to convert your bridesmaids' measurements into the standard US sizing. Please contact us for prices, styles and colour choices and we can send our interstate brides our Badgley Mischka Bridesmaids order form and once the gowns have arrived in Sydney, you can either pick them up from our salon or we can have them delivered to you. Our contact phone number is (02) 9181 5050. To view the latest Badgley Mischka Bridesmaids dresses, log onto the designers' website: www.badgleymischka.com/bridesmaid/

From the designers to the stars and the darlings of the Hollywood set, Mark Badgley and James Mischka have been hailed by Vogue as one of the "Top 10 American Designers.

The sophisticated design team... creates red-carpet favorites inspired by vintage Hollywood glamour of the 40's.
The latest Badgley Mischka bridal collection does just that, with beautifully detailed gowns that are as exquisite and original from the back as they are from the front. The shapes are classic ball gowns and mermaid dresses, but the detailed embellishments at the waist and neckline, make these dresses modern and striking.
A hallmark of their gowns is the combination of a sexy silhouette with elaborate beading and embroidery work. Bare and dramatic, they are masterpieces of chiffons, charmeuse and beaded laces. These designs are for formal weddings, but are also appropriate for destination weddings as each could translate from the beach to a ballroom setting.
Badgley Mischka wants the brides who wear the "Badgley Mischka Bride" gowns to look and feel glamorous and elegant on their wedding day. "A bride's wedding day is her personal red-carpet Oscar moment", says Mischka. http://www.badgleymischkabride.com/
