The Royal Wedding…A Day in History to Remember…and Why Kate Middleton’s Sister Pippa is also Wearing White…
Kate Middleton's sister Pippa wearing white makes headlines in the USA
Today was a very special day in the U.K. and around the world, as millions of viewers watched the wedding ceremony of Prince William and Kate Middleton (“Princess Kate” by the public, but formally known as Princess William of Wales).
I personally think Princess Kate looked ultra elegant and classy while there were many critics complaining that her dress was too simple and she could have chosen something a little more extravagant. However, I honestly respect her choice and think this is what best suits HER. If you observe her style, she is not one to dress extravagantly. She always carries herself with elegance and why should her wedding day be any different?!
Also, I would like to add that her makeup was phenomenal and of course I was curious as to who did it, which a friend had found out she apparently did it herself! I’m even more impressed if this is the truth as the makeup looked flawless!
Now moving onto what is making a lot of headlines in the USA, not just Kate Middleton’s dress selection, but also her sister Pippa Middleton, who happens to be wearing a white dress. As we know in American culture, it is not okay to wear white to a wedding (it’s kind of a silly style rule if you ask me).
HOWEVER, in the U.K., it’s actually seen as GOOD LUCK to wear white and sort of resemble the bride and groom to ward off evil spirits. How interesting! So I hope this ends any sort of confusion regarding Pippa’s choice in wearing white!

i think it was a little rude to wear white to her sisters wedding if my sister did that i would tell her to change or she is not going to be in the wedding.

How is it rude?! They were obviously both involved in the discussions with the dress designer and agreed togehter what Pippa would wear?! She was the bridesmaid, usually the bride decides what the bridesmaids would wear. I don’t know why the bridesmaid wearing white has caused such a fuss in America.

I’m totally baffled by this as well. I think is down to a lack of appreciation that cultures around the world do not comply with US traditions!

I don’t think it was bad that her sister wore white, I actually think it was refreshing to see a beautiful maid of honor dress, because we know how they usually are at least in the states ;) I was so impressed that she did her own makeup! She looked flawless:)

I was looking through some photos on the Internet and there was one of Kate putting on her own makeup for the wedding day. Can’t remember where I saw it now.

I think its not so much what country your from as it is just common sence along with the respect one sister should have for the other on her biggest day (this one being much bigger then most). And i think if you answer HONESTLY . . . .you will agree ! (i know you will). . . if you dont, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU !!!
