For those of us who aren't able to travel to London to witness it first-hand, St Laurent Centre has taken the reigns here in Ottawa and created an event worthy of the Queen herself.
Today we attended the "Royal Partea", presented by St Laurent Centre- one of the biggest events of the season, with a royally inspired afternoon tea with delicious treats, fabulous swag bags, a stunning spring fashion show, and an in-depth chat with Canadian fashion journalist, author, and celebrated TV personality; the one, the only, Jeanne Beker.
The White Dress and Marry Me Productions were lucky enough to be personally invited and we felt unbelievably honoured to be in the presence of celebrated fashionista Jeanne Beker! Here we are with one of Canada's most notorious fashion icons (who was unbelievably candid and down to earth) Love her! xx
This was a great way to kick off the one week countdown to the royal wedding! In just one week we will finally get to see what Kate Middleton has chosen for her trip down the royal aisle, and we can hardly bear to wait!

Here is the eloquent Reese Witherspoon at her nuptials to jim Toth. She looked breathtaking, as per her guest’s comments. The brilliant Monique Lhuillier was in charge of custom designing Reese’s gown, a blush hued delicate Chantilly lace corset bodice with a tulle A-line skirt. The waist was accented with a double-face silk satin ribbon with cascading silk flowers to match Reese’s daughter Ava’s dress (her maid of honour), also designed by Monique Lhuillier. The Oscar winning actress complemented her romantic look wearing Jimmy Choo’s ‘Macy’ satin platform sandal. Various VIP celebrities attended the wedding including Mathew MacConaughey, Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson, Sean Pean, Renée Zellweger and Tobey Maquire to name a few. They had 120 guests at the private ceremony held at Witherspoon’s ranch. Reese wowed everyone at the reception when she arrived wearing a different dress, also designed by Monique Lhuillier, which was a white mini dress with corseted lace bodice and hand cut organza party skirt accented at the waist with a jewel embellished belt.
We commend Reese for her simple, delicate yet sophisticated choice of attire. Blush is a color we are seeing brides choose more and more often, the soft pinkish hue is beyond feminine and so romantic. And of course couldn't be more thrilled that she chose one of our prized designers- Monique Lhuillier.

So, because we have yet to see any of OUR beautiful bride's go down the aisle we have gathered some images of real bride's on their weddings wearing gowns we carry at the boutique (in this case all Vera Wang designs) This is an accurate taste of what to expect from The 2011 White Dress bride's (well maybe minus the California vineyard... but you get the idea!)
Fitting season has begun here and we are anxiously awaiting the images of our beautiful girls on their big day! Stay tuned xx
