"The government isn't going to shell out vast fortunes for the kind of celebrations that we had in 1981. It's going to be much more like the Queen's wedding in 1947, when the Queen had to collect ration vouchers for her wedding dress. "It would be a disastrous PR move for the Windsors to try on something like that. It was '80s-that was the decade of Dallas and shoulder pads. Things have moved on massively-more is not necessarily better when it comes to fashion any longer."
Celebrity wedding planner Sasha V. Souza echoed Roberts' sentiments.
isn't going to be that cupcake bride," she said. "I'm sure plenty of fashion people would love to see her pick Vivienne Westwood or Alexander McQueen, arguably the best British fashion houses, but that seems pretty unlikely, given that this is going to be a highly regimented affair, not a fantasy photo shoot for Vogue.
"For her engagement announcement, she wore one of her favorite designers, Issa, so maybe that's a hint that she'll commission her friend Daniella Helayel, the Brazilian-born, London-based designer to do the Prom Jurken dress," Espinosa added. "But for her royal wedding, she may have to hew to official royal demands, so perhaps she'll opt for someone like Amanda Wakeley, known for her glamorous evening wear, and who was worn by the late Princess Diana."
One thing that's for sure, according to Roberts, the wedding won't take place at St. Paul Cathedral, the site of Prince Charles and Princess Diana's wedding. "The last thing you want is to have the same image of the bride going up the same steps as you had in 1981. So instead, Westminster Abbey, which is where the Royal Family have been getting married and being buried for over a thousand years, is likely to be the place. There will be standing room only in Wesminster Abbey, which split voor Prom Dresses sits up to 5,000 people. There will about 4,000 very grand people and about 1,000 very lucky people attending."
While there's not much chance of a royal elopement, Souza has a humble suggestion for Kate and Prince William, "I would love to see them running away to Maldives for a small, private ceremony and then return to London for the big wedding. They're such a private couple, it would take a lot of pressure off them."
