By the way, if you're trying to get your hands on the same simple, classy blue dress Kate Middleton wore for the royal engagement announcement, good luck. The dress almost instantly sold out after the future Princess Catherine was photographed in it.
The sapphire dress by Issa London became an instant classic. "The dress worn by Kate sold out almost immediately. One reason being that the versatility of the pieces means that they can be dressed down for the day and dressed up for special occasions." The knee-length Issa London dress retails for what's equivalent to $615. U.S. retailers are already reporting they're being indundated with requests for the now hard-to-find dress.
Costs:
Like you, the families are paying for the wedding – including the wedding dress - following the precedents set by the marriages of Prince and Princess of Wales in 1981 and Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip in 1947.
At least you wont have to pay for security which is estimated to cost up to $ 20 million dollars!
