Dayton's News Source :: Top Stories - Local Parties For the Royal Wedding
Your Dream Day hosted a viewing party of the royal wedding at the Dayton Wedding Connection beginning at 5 a.m. this past Friday. Our friends at Party Pleasers had the royal wedding playing on a projection screen all day long. I was there from 4 a.m. until noon and spoke with the local television media about the big event. One of the most fascinating things for me was how social media impacted this event. I began tweeting at 5 a.m. and it was amazing to get the opinions and insight from bridal industry leaders immediately, to get the information about the designers and reactions immediately.
The biggest things on twitter that morning:
(1) Mixed reviews about the size of her bouquet and the amount of flowers used at the wedding ceremony. Many industry professionals thought she used too few flowers and that her bouquet was too small. Me -- I thought it was tastefully done. Kate's goal was to have the feeling of an English garden. I thought the use of trees and the subtle use of the lily of the valley was just regal. Less is more.
(2) LOVED the Mother of the Bride coat dresses -- they looked stunning on the mothers and not matronly. I hope this trend is here for a while!
(3) LOVED both of Kate's dresses. The strapless dress is finally not the style anymore. It's lace! I loved the reception dress and the jacket that went with it.
(4) LOVED that the couple wrote their own prayer for the ceremony. Although the two did look a little bored during the ceremony sermon. Lots of tweeters said that, not just me.
(5) Loved the wedding reception cake. Just stunning!
I also wish more Americans wore hats. It was so much fun just watching all of the guests and the creations for their heads. It is expected that a lady in England will wear a hat to a black tie and formal occasion. Maybe this will start rubbing off in America??
