Spotlight On: Richard Nicholl for Topshop | Tie the Knot

 

In April, the very exciting news that Richard Nicholl & Topshop were to collaborate for both of the fashion giants first step into bridal attire, aptly named 'Tie the Knot'. Pictures were released on the 29th May and I am so excited to see the arrival of the dresses, expected throughout the last few days of June.

It seems even the single ladies are obsessed with this collection and I certainly don't think these designs are limited to the church altar. Whilst they would make a beautiful contemporary wedding dress, they can also work for countless formal summer occasions.

Spotlight On: The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge

During a holiday to Kenya with a group of friends, Prince William took his opportunity to propose to his girlriend of seven years, Kate Middleton. On the 29th March 2011, with the world watching, they wed.

Its hard to believe, with every detail still fresh in our minds (from the exquisite English & French chantilly lace gown to the stunning eight-tiered wedding cake), that a year has passed and the couple are now celebrating their first anniversary.

"When i first met Kate I knew there was something very special about her. I knew that there was a good possibility that I wanted to explore there. We ended up being friends for a while and that was just sort of a good foundation. Becuase I do generally believe now that being friends with eachother is a massive advantage. And it just went from there!"

A friendship which had spanned almost a decade, has formed the basis for the marriage of arguably, the most famous couple in the world. I must admit, I have fallen massively for the newly weds and adore the new face of the Royal Family.
