[1]The world finally witnessed the most awaited “wedding of the decade” with bated breath and instantly fell in love with the simplicity of Kate Middleton’s look. Kate wore a long-sleeved lace and ivory satin design by Sarah Burton, the creative director for the late Alexander McQueen and won with gasps from the audience and thunderous applause.
Designer Payal Jain says, “I feel it is absolutely breathtaking. It’s simple, sophisticated, elegant, understated, delicate and yet, rich and luxurious. The lace lends a fragile delicacy which is very flattering for Kate. The veil was the most beautiful addition as it added a quality of mystery and romance to the look. The whole look was very dramatic.”
Kate proved that a royal wedding need not necessarily be opulent. It doesn’t have to be over-the-top or in-your-face. “It also depends on the personality of a person. Just because it was royal doesn’t mean she had to be all decked up. The gown displayed amazing detailing which added to the mystery of the bride,” adds Payal.
Designer Anjana Bhargav is smitten by her simplicity and loved the nicely done train the most. Leena Singh too feels that it was a perfect wedding gown. “The look was opulent in terms of fabric and structuring. It was royal in every sense. And most importantly, she looked very comfortable, which remains the priority of brides. People definitely had opulent expectations, but she managed to keep it simple yet stunning,” says Leena.
But designer Jattinn Kochhar differs and says he found the look nice and pleasant but nothing out of the world. “I was expecting something spectacular. Considering they spent around `22 lakh for the bridal ensemble, the end result was nothing to die for. She is a nice looking girl, but the attire didn’t do justice to her look. The veil was ordinary and the satin train too flat. If had designed, I would have used embroidered tulle for the veil, subtle lace for texturing and would have moved away from white,” says Jattinn.
