However, many television stations aired everything from when members of both Kate and William’s finally rode to Westminster Abbey to the kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

Kate wore a very beautiful wedding gown designed by Sarah Burton who is the creative director of Alexander McQueen. The dress was a white silk dress, with lace sleeves and a handmade eight foot long train. It was a tight fit bodice and had a deep v-neck. The dress was perfect in showing of Kate’s slim figure.Kate’s bridal bouquet was shield shaped and was made up of Myrtle, Lilly - of- the- Valley, Sweet William, Ivy, and Hyacinth.
