About Mrs. Penguin

Hi hive! Last week we asked the bees to make their own predictions for the royal wedding, and we hope you’ve had fun playing along! We asked a specific set of questions, answered as best as we could below. Now comes the daunting task of choosing our winner!

The British Monarchy made Flickr their official photo sharing site, and now that the images have been released, it’s time to take a peek into the final results of the wedding day’s details!

The Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding day style:

She wore a satin and lace dress designed by Sarah Burton for the Alexander McQueen. Her hair was half up, half down, and she wore a lace-embroidered elbow length veil. She wore an additional dress for the evening festivities featuring a jeweled belt and white bolero, also designed by Sarah Burton.

The cakes:

There were two cakes. The wedding cake, made by Fiona Cairns, was 8 tiers. The second cake was a McVities chocolate cake, and 3 tiers high.

Colors and flowers:

White reigned supreme, with red appearing to be a strong secondary color (Prince William’s uniform, as well as on the little groomsmen). Catherine’s bouquet was white and green and featured lily of the valley.

At the reception:

They danced their first dance to a cover  Elton John’s Your Song sung by Ellie Goulding and ended the night with Kings of Leon’s Sex on Fire and partied until 3AM!

There are obviously so many different factors to consider when choosing who came closest to “calling” the wedding, so we thought we’d take it to the hive and have you decide! Take a peek at all the royal wedding prediction posts here, and take a little preview of each below:

Was the last song really KOL? I was hearing it was a Beatles song.

The bee’s all did SO great with their predictions-it was actually hard to vote for one.

Totally Sparkler! She called the 3/4 length lace sleeves, how cinched in the waist was, the shorter veil, was close on ceremony time, was close to the main cake and she called that the wedding party was going to see alot of white. Plus, Elton John was thrown into the mix!

I think it’s a toss up between Pony and Zebra! I mean, there have been hundreds of article on the Princess of Monaco’s inspiration to the Duchess of Cambridge’s dress. Even the bouquet!

Zebra definitely nailed it with the Grace Kelly dress. I saw Kate and thought, that’s a gorgeous dress, but couldn’t they have saved a lot of time and money by just borrowing the original from Grace Kelly’s estate instead of making a knockoff?
