The grandeur of the wedding of Catherine
Middleton and Prince William is reflected in David’s selection of materials and bespoke millinery techniques.
Dupioni silk flowers, Lady Amherst Pheasant
feathers, French silk veiling, ostrich cockades, peau de soie peonies, and organza gardenias with crystal dusting –
all hand crafted. Beginning with
a classic black and white foundation, the Royal Wedding Collection’s palette rises through champagne tones
to ochre, coral tea rose, cardinal red, cerise, and peaks with Tyrian purple and peacock blue.
Miss Middleton’s
favourite millinery – the fascinator – is well represented in the collection as are styles appropriate for all
of the four generations of women in her wedding party. Floating veils, asymmetrical picture hats, and whimsical
fascinators are freshly presented versions of traditional millinery just in time for this modern wedding.
