Nothing says courage quite like including six young children in your wedding party , unless it’s choosing as wranglers a young man who’s been called the bad boy of the royal family and a young woman who’s been called the most eligible singleton in the kingdom. With so many wild cards, anything could have gone wrong.

But nothing did. Pippa Middleton made sure of that. After helping her sister exit the car at Westminster Abbey and expertly arranging the train of the wedding dress just so on the red carpet, she took charge of the children, smiling calmly throughout. Walking up the aisle hand in hand with the pair of three-year-old bridesmaids high waist dress , she summoned memories of Diana’ white bridesmaid dresses white bridesmaid dressess easy, natural way with children. And yet the impression she created was all her own: while her unobtrusive manner indicated a willingness to fade modestly into the background impression bridesmaid dresses impression bridesmaid dresses, Pippa’s form-fitting dress dress , with buttons up the back and a small train of its own, made that quite impossible. Unusually, purple cocktail dresses stretch purple cocktail dresses stretch it was only a shade or two away from Kate’s own gown, and the cut was substantially more revealing. There were whispers, and within minutes, squawks and tweets: short cocktail dresses jessica mcclintock discount bridal gowns purple flower girl dresses had the maid of honour upstaged the bride? Online, detractors emerged, sniffing about the chestnut hue of Pippa’s fake tan. But in the church, she dispatched her duties serenely and with dignity.

Prince Harry, too, stepped up, which is to say that he was subdued and entirely proper throughout the ceremony, after cracking his brother up with a whispered aside as Kate approached the altar holding her father’s hand. There was nothing inappropriate in that, though: the best man’s job description is to lighten the mood. And after the ceremony, heading to the palace in a carriage with the youngest members of the wedding party , he was impeccably avuncular, reassuring the children and putting them at ease.

The children were, it must be said, perfectly behaved throughout. If they were restless at the abbey or uncomfortable in their angelic, starched outfits, they certainly didn’ satin bridal gown satin bridal gown;t show it. Even more remarkable, not one of the girls fussed with the circle of flowers perched on her head, and astonishingly, when they appeared on the balcony at Buckingham Palace, all four were still having a good flowers-in-hair day. Either these are the most stoic children on Earth, or parental bribery paid off handsomely. Either way, photographers hoping for antics of the sort William himself pulled at his uncle Andrew’s wedding were sorely disappointed.

The mood on the balcony was decidedly more relaxed, with Kate leaning down to speak to the children, and Camilla, then Charles, lifting up her granddaughter Eliza who, even on tiptoes, was not quite tall enough to look over the ledge to see the cheering crowd below. The scene-stealing moment, however, our wedding gowns online store features discounted mermaid wedding gowns, mermaid style wedding dresses belonged to Grace van Cutsem, who covered her ears and screwed her face up into the pout seen around the world when Royal Air Force planes roared overhead. That the happy couple had chosen that particular moment to kiss provided the perfect backdrop. A naughty photo op, at last.

Far from a "bird-brained" idea, pheasant feathers are THE hot look for summer.

So it all started about a month ago. I was on a video shoot in NYC during Bridal Market Week when I met this publicist who had pheasant feathers weaved into her hair. “I love your feathers,” I gushed. “Where did you get them?”

Sadly, the answer was an L.A. salon, which wasn’ sweetheart neckline cocktail dresses ;t exactly helpful since I’m on the East Coast. As the days passed and my obsession grew (AND my buddy/co-worker Get Married EIC Karina Timmel bragged to me she a snagged some for herself in Atlanta — copycat!) one shoulder prom dresses 2011 one shoulder prom dresses 2011, I just KNEW there had to be someone in NYC who did it (how else to explain the random girl I encountered at the Brooklyn Flea Market last weekend sporting the same look?).

Enter the lovely Stacey Gersten, owner of Birds of Feather. Stacey (a commercial casting director by day) discovered this emerging trend while visiting Austin and schooled herself on the technique and then brought it back to the Big Apple. Soon the NY Times caught wind and profiled her, leading to a slew of models, hipsters, and stylish girls (like me) begging for some feather love.

Stacey immediately got back to me and invited me to her apartment for an application.The process took exactly five minutes, cost $30, AND lasts up to 6 weeks (BTW winter bridesmaid dresses winter bridesmaid dresses newyork prom dresses , I’ wedding dresses melbourne sale wedding dresses melbourne sale cocktail dresses online flower girl dresses black m loving the bright blue, green and yellow in my red hair!). So why am I telling you all of this? Quite simply, this is THE hot hair trend for summer, and something you REALLY want to consider if you’re looking to add a boho chic element to your overall look or that of your bridal party bridal party . Here’s what you need to know before you go:

1. The feathers come in a ton of colors and can be arranged in one section or scattered throughout your hair.

2. They’re totally washable, you can iron or curl them AND they’d don’t damage your hair since they’ short summer wedding dresses cheap short summer wedding dresses cheapre just looped in (but not removable for the unschooled).

3. Coloring or highlights should probably be handled with care. If you can get it done beforehand all the better (Stacey says if you can’t, try wrapping your feathers in tin foil or Saran Wrap prior to your application).

So much fun and easy to do, I can’t wait to see what my friends and coworkers think. Would you consider it for your hair? Weigh in now!
