a beautiful, blustery wedding! with kiddos! AND INSANE FLOWERS.
did y’all really think i’d miss one? come on, now!
don’t fret, yer girl is on the case. i loved this morning’s events! my body actually woke up normally at like 5am which is, well, it’s pretty weird. but let’s move past that and look at all these awesome pics!
dead dead dead skull emoji DOA on these flowers you guys:
this pic lets you see them up close a bit more:
like, hello? am i alive rn? nope! the flowers killed me, actually.
i am obsessed with @phillipacraddock who usually does these big events, and based on her very closely watched by me, personally she is doing tonight’s reception. and obvs the bouquet. did she do this too? what is the budget? IS THERE A BUDGET? how much does it cost to rent a tree, asking for a friend?
i mean…can you IMAGINE being like oh hey welcome to my church for my wedding no bigs:
ok. i’ll try to move on….tough for me, though. a lotta comments and i don’t want to go tooooo long so here are (some of) my musings:
errybody is really feeling the pageboy/flower girl thing, and tbh they have sorta been slammed lately?
i mean OBVS savannah tindall is a hoot. her parents are my faves, and i feel like they are the ultimate “you have to meet THIS cousin” play that william gave kate when they were dating to try and like drown out the crazy in the rest of his fam. i want to hang with this crew! after a few holidays you know she was like, yeah, hey this is going fine and all, but can we get back to mike and zara for a minute? how do we get on their christmas rotation?
why does lizzie always go black shoe/bag? ok, not always, but a lot. and a nice cream pump and matching purse would have been nice here. it brings her down IMO.
imma skip the pregnant talk on megs because i mean who knows but shall we NOT keep the coat unbuttoned from the sternum down if we are not expecting, please? if you ARE expecting, you had time to plan accordingly and if you are NOT rocking a bun in your oven, well, you are actually a twig so this is not a flattering look. guess i’ll re-obsess now over what the hair of their offspring is going to come out looking like. GREAT.
kate with the leg squeeze! i am so happy to see this!
you guys, my sister and i have a theory that fergie and andrew still kinda hook up. are we the only ones who have had this thought? it’s ok if you say yes.
the scoliosis scar, brought to my attention by the aforementioned whackjob known as my sibling, but i see it getting a lot of play and it really is a very real touch!
the dress overall was not my fave but the neckline was gorg and photog-ready for the drive in. well-played. is it me, or is eugenie just like a rock solid class act? it would be so hard to follow her cousins and that circus that was harry/meghan, but she really pulled it off. her choices were so thoughtful and she look LITCHRALLY radiant. hooray for normal royals, yall! her husband seemed to be having the damn time of his life! i saw her once in the west village and the only reason i actually noticed her was because she was carrying a prada shopping bag the size of rhode island. she is a very pretty gal who seemed to survive a dramatic high profile divorce and just isn’t super caught up in it all. being normal is the best! super happy for her and i hope she is having a fund ay!
let’s talk about the emeralds, i mean the bride! god save this tiara, amirite?
that thing is mental! GOOD ON HER for finding that literal family gem. i assume…they get to pick what the queen loans? or does the queen tell you and you build the ensemble around it? these are things i would like to know. also her BROWS? i know i am a brow person because of malynda’s brow bar but you gotta be KIDDING ME that you don’t notice how great hers are. also, closeup of the bouquet touches here. i can’t imagine how fragrant it was!
EYEROLL EMOJI on cara delevigne but that is a cool look FOR SOMEPLACE ELSE.
yall i want to like the sashes, which were made to coordinate with a piece of art that also appeared in the program, but i do not. mostly bc at first look they appear to be very palm beach. idk, i just think they have soooooo much time to research how things will look at different angles and this is pretty clearly lily pulitzer-esque? but much better than the black page boy situation and i do like the look overall. you let me know anything sweeter than little girls in white tights and white shoes. i feel so incredibly sorry for people who didn’t grow up with traditionally dressed children, and i mean that sincerely.
i always comment on this and again, i know this is the formal and traditional part of me, but the milling about and chit chat at these weddings floors me! every time! these people just like ham it up while they wait on the big event! don’t get me wrong, it sucks to have to get to church super early and sit still and be quiet, but that’s when you play tic tac toe on the visitor cards with the tiny provided pencils or gossip about other people as they arrive with only your eyes between you and your mom and sister. oops. just us? right, suuuure.
kate in raspberry! it’s the remake of this mcqueen, which makes me again, want to deep dive the SHIT out of her relationship with sarah burton. she seems rested and back in the swing of things.
something funny is how hot my mentions are on insta on days like this. people be taggin’ me and i be taggin’ them. it’s rich.
it is so crazy different how meghan acts when she knows all eyes and cameras are on her in comparison to kate. i am not saying it’s, good or bad, it’s just like VERY OBVIOUS one is an actress who married a famous person and one is a gal from buckleberry whose college boyfriend turns out is heir to the throne. hey: were charles and camilla there? i assume carole and michael are keeping the kids tonight and i hope pippa puts her feet up (srsly have a glass of wine girl, you’re cooked and it’s fine).
oh! some scoop on the flowers!
why wasn’t her sister in a more official role?
WILL SOMEONE TELL US IF MEGS IS DRINKING AT THE PARTY? (you know kate will be!)
well, i guess that’s all i’ll say - i could go on 4eva - but what a happy occasion and day! yay for love and the traditions of an anglican service, as i like to say!
