Royal Wedding Party

when it comes to the royal wedding, i am a girl obsessed. it stems from a long love for all things british and that i knew prince william and catherine middleton’s wedding would be spectacular. i had to invite my closest girlfriends over to watch! last night we all got dressed up, had wine, cucumber sandwiches, cupcakes and cake pops from cakelicious, and watched all the live coverage from that morning. there aren’t many things i like more than wearing a dress and giant hair piece. sharon of posh veils hand made me this one of a kind piece just for my royal wedding party. isn’t it perfect?!

i loved catherine and pippa middleton’s dresses and of course prince william and prince harry looked handsome as always. all the royal wedding coverage reminded me of my first trip to england in 2009. i happened to arrive the day before the trooping the colour at buckingham palace. none other than the royal studs themselves stood on the balcony, so close to where i was standing! and to think, i missed my one and only chance to meet prince harry and make him fall in love with me. rats!

Hello Prince Harry!

    Sounds like so much fun! Those hairpieces are gorgeous and the cakes looks delish. Too bad about Prince Harry (but it's not too late!!! ;D) hahaha

    You look beautiful, I love your headpiece! Just to let you know though, I never eat cucumber sandwiches or drink tea out of little china cups. I drink my tea out of a big starbucks mug hahaa 😛

  • Kate May 1, 2011 at 1:01 pm

    Haha, you are so cute! I love that you hosted this little party! Your headpiece is perfection for such an event! And nowwww, I want a cupcake. Mm.

  • Michelle May 1, 2011 at 1:35 pm

    oh my god this is too great! loving all the pictures!

  • Kayla May 1, 2011 at 3:06 pm

    I love that you had a royal party! You look fantastic, and your tea cups are adorable! I celebrated by wearing my pajamas and tearing up a bit by myself, but I suppose we all celebrate in our own ways 🙂

  • Sharon Chironda (Posh Veils) May 1, 2011 at 3:08 pm

    You look amazing Alicia! The images are fantastic. The colors of the headpiece looks so good on you. All the details at your party are just splendid. You seem like the ultimate hostess!
    (Cue my sulking face)- I want me a tea set too…lol.

    oh my goodness you are SO adorable!! LOVE, that you got dressed up and made an event of it. I wasn't quite as posh… watched the highlights while working. Hope you're having a fabulously sunny Van day. xx veronika

    I admit it… I didn't pay the slightest bit of attention to the Royal Wedding. I think I'm still a little burnt out from my own last September (and can't escape the sense I might have slightly failed my mom since I wasn't the one prince William married, in spite of all her hoping!) But I definitely could have gotten into it if there was a party with fancy headwear and cupcakes! Your hairpiece is stunning- way prettier than anything actually seen at the Royal Wedding, I think. I'm officially inspired. I don't know where I'll wear one, but I must have one of my own 🙂

    Oh gosh! What a great idea, you girls looked so fab, your fascinators look so elegant and the food too! … I watched in my pj's not so fashionable at all, still not over the fairy tale wedding, loved it!

    Organizing your own royal wedding viewing party–what a fun idea! It's too bad you never got to make Prince Harry fall head over heels for you, but on the plus side, Adam must be relieved he still has you all to himself lol.

  • Ashelle May 3, 2011 at 1:58 am

    Your Royal Party looks too adorable and great!! The head pieces and cupcakes are a must for tea parties.

  • Plami May 3, 2011 at 3:36 pm

    Such a fabulously fun idea. I loved watching the footage and seeing the photos of the royal wedding. How amazing was her dress??? Love.

    Also? your hat/fascinator is perfection!
