Prince William and Kate Middleton : Officially engaged!

[vhanya]

i would understand the design if it was monique lhuillier who did it. kasi ganun design nya, but alexander mcqueen? napaka-unconventional ng designs nila eh. oh well, baka nag stick lang sya sa british designer and homage na rin sa death ni alexander mcqueen.

[Purple_Power]

^ I agree. Parang ill-fitted talaga sa boobs part [textspeak!] gown. Pati [textspeak!]  Kung sa Pinas siya nagpagawa ng gown with the same amount, bonggang-bongga lalabas! Haha! Kasi tutal naexpect na rin lang ng fairy tale wedding ang mga tao, sana ibinigay na nila haha!.

Actually yan rin ang nasabi at naisip ko. Tulad na lang yun kay Angel Locsin na ginamit sa EMMY awards na gawa ni Michael Cinco alam ko nagkakalapit pa yung halaga ng gown niya to Kate pero when you compare it sa design aspect ang layo ng dating nung kay Angel compare to Kate. Aaminin ko rin na malamang Edward Teng, Rajo Laurel or even Veejay Floresca can do far better to look her like a fairytale Princess. But then iniisip ko rin tulad ng sinabi ko sa early post ko na baka may kinalaman rin sa material cost yan. Kung mamahaling materials talaga yung ginamit chances are magtitipid sila sa design concept kasi kung gagawin nilang bongga baka abutin na sila ng million nun as pound. Kaya dito nakakagawa ng mas magarbong design dahil hindi naman ganun kamahal ang materials na ginagamit.

Parang sa kwintas lang yan na pagkaliit liit pero nagugulat tayo sa presyo na 100,000 pesos na ang halaga dahil siempre totoong gold or diamond yun. Unlike kapag fake or yung stone na simple lang chances are mas nakakagawa pa ng creativity sa kwintas.

^yes the tela used for kate's gown is one of the most expensive there is. baka nag concentrate na lang sila na well-made yung gown kasi madami rin naman restrictions sa style e kasi nga royal wedding dapat may sleeves etc. if you research most of the royals' wedding gowns, halos same designs sila =)

[pixiedust]

ako naman i thought the dress was perfect for the occasion. it was elegant and she carried it with the grace required for a royal wedding. it may be inspired by grace kelly's dress. but i don't care. grace kelly's was beautiful and elegant which means maganda yung naging inspiration for catherine's dress.

plus the design is timeless. if madami siyang frou frou and stuff, possibleng in 30 year's time hindi na siya appealing. look at princess diana's dress. parang typical fairytale princess with the poofy poofy skirt, ruffles galore, and a train that goes on forever. at that time, wow na wow mga tao kasi bongga. but i don't think anyone would wear a gown like that today.

and regarding the gown being alexander mcqueen, kahit naman sinong designer yun, at the end of the day yung bride pa din masusunod eh. baka naman ganung design talaga gusto niya. it's her wedding afterall. baka she chose sarah burton not because gusto niya mala mcqueen yung design ng gown. baka kate felt that burton will do justice to the design that she wanted. or baka she just simply liked her.

at the end of the day, (flaws in the chest area included), prince william said it best: "you look beautiful" and i'm sure that's all that mattered to kate.

and share ko lang:

my best friend who is getting married next year reacted when she saw the gown kasi yung gown niya is mala ganun except that it's short sleeves. nagwoworry siya kasi daw baka sabihin ng mga tao she was copying catherine's dress.

i told her na it's none of their business kahit gayahin mo mang sakto yung dress because in the first place, it's your wedding, it's your dress.

I have a friend naman who just posted her wedding gown in FB (she got married in 1997) because it looks like Kate's! As in.

I agree its non of their business already and wala namang law regarding that eh!  I understand rin naman na nacoconscious siya sa iisipin o sabihin sa kanya ng ibang tao. Saka marami na rin ang lace style na dress tulad nung kay Kate. Ever since nang nangyayari yun.

Napansin ko rin naman sa dress ni Kate parang meron pa siyang ibang design na hindi lang pansinin sa camera. Pero I think mas attractive yun when you will be able to see in person.

[charmed_chic]

uso na rin naman noon pa yung style ng dress ni Kate. Classic style. Like na lang yung wedding gown ni Lea Salonga. Di ba halos ganun din ang style nung upper part. Kanya-kanyang trip lang yan. Important is, she carried it in her own style.. She and Princess Grace Kelly's gown may be both similar at first glance but for sure magkaiba naman sila ng way ng pagdadala.

sharing an article about the prince william, catherine, prince harry and their filipino nanny:

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20110503-334295/After-Kate-Prince-William-kissed-his-Filipino-nanny

“When Prince William drove in there was loud applause from everyone and all of a sudden I heard him call out ‘Hi Lillie’ and he came up to hug and kiss me, as if he really missed me,” Piccio said.

[chinkywinky]

^sweet! Sana pag nagkaanak sila si nanny lillie ang kunin ni william.

[thebratinella]

^ang ganda ng upbringing nila. hindi snooty like other people who are rich.

[orange rose]

what if kung si Korean Andre Kim ang gumawa ng gown?  i'm sure di makaka-eksena ang mga hats.  LOL

[pixiedust]

^sweet! Sana pag nagkaanak sila si nanny lillie ang kunin ni william.

wag. ako nalang. para may access ako kay prince harry! LOL!

[Purple_Power]

I am thankful kina Prince William and Prince Harry lalo na rin kay Princess Diana on how they treated our fellow Filipino. Kaya maswerte rin talaga si Lillie lalo na kung icocompare mo naman siya sa ibang OFWs na kadalasan umuuwi na inabuso na sa ibang bansa.

I doubt it lang kung kukunin nila ulit si Lillie since matanda na rin siya.

[purple_bear_hugs]

how nice naman! sobrang down to earth ang upbringing nila Prince William and Prince Harry...imagine sila pa ang unang pumansin at bumati sa former nanny nila!...I guess,naging mabait at magaling din na yaya si Lillie for them to remember her with fondness!!!...magkano kaya salary ni Lillie nun,hehe medyo OT...

[billy]

Ibang level nga sila, parang so down to earth.

[qmoonlight]

Mas pangit pa ugali ng Tatay nila. Prince William is a ladies man according to Kate's closest friend, but he never cheated on her. Nong nanligaw pa daw si William kay Kate, helicopter lang naman ang lumapag sa garden nila Kate, this is according to his father. And there he thought how could he Top this when he proposes to her? Astig no?

  For sure mataas yan. Kung sa Yaya ko nga from USA mas financially stable pa kumpara sa amin eh! Siya pa nga nagreregalo sa amin ng pera eh!
 
Mas maganda pa nga trabaho ng Yaya kumpara sa ibang staffs since siya ang taga alaga sa bata malamang mas naging comfortable mga bata sa kanya. Ganun rin naramdaman ko nung pumunta Yaya ko sa US parang kulang na.

Hindi ko rin type ang tatay nila lalo na yung asawa niya  Ang pinakagusto ko lang eh si Princess D at yung mga anak niya. Medyo duda rin ako sa Queen eh! pero I think she was challenged naman lalo na't yung 3 anak niya puro hiwalay.

[sardonyx]

so down to earth nga sina prince william at harry.  princess diana raised her sons well. si kate din, she's well-grounded and so likeable.  pero ang queen, wala rin akong naririnig about her personality. kaya medyo duda din ako sa ugali niya.

but it's surprising that in these modern times, buhay na buhay pa ang mga royalties, although naglaho na ang iba.  di ba they're spending on people's money?

[[-c-h-a-]]

buti nga nagmana sila kay Princess Diana sa pagiging very down to earth

Si Prince William, sana magpahair transplant naman!

[Pink_Sugar]

what if kung si Korean Andre Kim ang gumawa ng gown?  i'm sure di makaka-eksena ang mga hats.  LOL

napa-search tuloy ako sa google. LOL nakakatakot yung ulo nya, bakit ganoon? parang may pintura na black?

okay nabasa ko na, i thought it was a joke, totoo palang may pintura yung ulo nya. lol
