Your Gown: Did You Tell All or Keep Things Under Wraps?

November 3rd, 2011

Did you keep things mum until your Big Day?

For more than half a year now (can you believe it?), the tabloids — and even, yes, for-real newspapers, like the various Times — have been abuzz about Kate Middleton’s oh so royal dress and the splash she made walking down the aisle to her prince this past spring.

What is it about that gown that had everyone enchanted? It’s hard to say, though we feel it’s the departure from a traditional ballroom gown or pouffed out A-line (though we love these, don’t get us wrong) that had jaws dropping…and apparently, still does.

The latest? Well, now everyone seems to be asking, “How on earth did Kate keep her wedding dress a secret?”

Good question; you’d think something would have leaked somewhere. But nope, we were all surprised…and pleasantly so. Let’s face it, Kate would look like a princess in a paper sack, but her choice was a cut above even what most viewers of the Royal shindig were expecting, prompting comparisons to the late Princess Grace of Monaco.

What about you? Did you stick with tradition and keep your dress details on the down low? Or were you happy to share digitals of your fittings with anyone and everyone?

    Oh, by the way, so far here at the office the count is: One secret, one non-secret. :)

    Kept it almost completely secret. My mother, of course, bought it with me, & we immediately took it to show my grandmother (who did my veil). I’m guessing my dad saw it, because we hung it up in my room, but no one else did!

    Susan, moms are always allowed. ;) So we give Mom a pass on that one. Props to Dad for keeping quiet, LOL. Love to hear these stories!
