Enchanted Serenity of Period Films: wedding

I can only imagine how busy various milliners have been in designing and producing the head wear for their distinguished customers who have been invited to a certain London wedding happening this Friday. I love hats so I'm eager to see the guests arrive all decked out in their finery! Here are some images of the ladies from the royal family on previous occasions as well as a selection of styles of hats that are considered suitable for church wear...

Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Anne and daughter Zara

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall / Autumn (Mark Phillips)

Princess Beatrice / Princess Eugenie / Sophie, Countess of Essex

Carole and Pippa Middleton

Most of hats below found at Shoppead

I wouldn't mind wearing some of these! What about you?

Now for what I am hoping to see.
It's all about the lace...

Some fashion experts are predicting that sleeves are coming back in style for wedding gowns. (Hurray, I say!) This comeback is anticipated due to a 20-year swing in fashion and it's also expected to be influenced by the royal wedding in which many are expecting Kate Middleton's dress to cover her arms to some degree due to the formality of the wedding.

I just know that I would love to see lace. I don't know that the following wedding dresses are Kate Middleton's style but I'm hoping to see a more traditional gown rather than some modern design! How about a lace veil? Or long, lacy sleeves? Or lace detail on the dress itself? Somewhere, somehow, there's got to be lace!
