Princess Diana Wedding Attire Auctioned

5 December 2011 By

An exact ‘just in case’ replica of Princess Diana’s famous wedding dress and accompanying shoes have sold at auction for the grand sum of £84,000.

Commissioned by Princess Diana herself, the back-up dress was made by David Emanuel, who was also responsible for the original lavish gown.

It had been in the possession of Madame Tussauds in London before being sold to a private collector for £48,000 by a fashion museum in Chile.

The size 6.5 shoes that complete the gown are also identical to those worn at the 1981 Royal Wedding. As part of their intricate design they include an interwoven C and D on their sole. They were sold for £36,000 by their original designer as Diana’s mother had not paid for the spare pair.

Speaking of the shoes, auctioneer Kerry Taylor said: “They are identical to the ones Diana wore for her wedding – absolutely the same. She could have changed the left or the right and you wouldn’t notice the difference. They were made in case her first pair got stained or damaged, or something happened to them on the day.”

Anne Hathaway Overheard Planning Wedding

1 December 2011 By

According to a new source, Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway, who announced her engagement to fiancé Adam Shulman earlier this week, is reportedly already planning her wedding.

An onlooker told the New York Post that the couple attended La Esquina restaurant in New York with a friend on Monday night, where they were overheard “excitedly discussing ideas about their nuptials”.

The eavesdropping onlooker further claims that Anne and Adam said they are considering a “non-traditional ceremony with co-ed bridesmaids and groomsmen”. They were also reportedly talking about incorporating wine tasting into the special day.

The lovebirds were further said to be “very touchy-feely” during their dinner, and were seen kissing throughout their meal.

Anne, 29, was previously involved in a highly publicised break-up with Italian real estate developer Raffaello Follieri in 2008. During a business scandal at the time, he pleaded guilty to 14 counts of money laundering, conspiracy and wire fraud.

The actress seems to have made the right choice this time with partner Adam, and fans will be looking forward to the official date for their wedding.

Marriage On The Cards for Britney Spears

23 November 2011 By

A source has revealed that Britney Spears’ long time boyfriend Jason Trawick has been hunting for the perfect engagement ring at several celebrity jewellers, confirming suspicions that the famous pop star is to marry in the near future.

The insider commented: “He has been everywhere from Tiffany to Harry Winston looking for a ring and he is close to making his final decision… Don’t expect anything too massive or obnoxious. This ring will be classy and under 4-carats.”

Trawick, who is currently with Spears on her Femme Fatale tour in South America, is said to be very close to picking the winning sparkler, meaning a winter engagement is likely on the cards.

This latest report is the second source to confirm the good news. Last week, a family insider said: “Britney and Jason discuss marriage all the time. Britney is truly in love with Jason, and well, Jason has loved her for a very, very long time.”

The couple have been dating since 2009. If and when the marriage goes ahead, it will hopefully be a case of “third time’s the charm” for Miss Spears.

Designer Describes Twilight Wedding Dress

16 November 2011 By

As fans prepare for the magical Twilight wedding to screen in the upcoming ‘Breaking Dawn’ release, the top secret gown that Bella will wear has been the subject of much speculation and anticipation.

Famous designer Carolina Herrera, the creator of the stunning wedding dress, has finally shed some light on what to expect.

She commented: “The inspiration became a little bit by the book… the description of the book, and the magic and the moment that is the wedding and also about her [Bella's] personality which is very important in a wedding gown. She is this very innocent girl that is believing in her first true love and there is romance and there is fantasy and mystery. Everything so I took all that into consideration.”

While the exact details are still a closely guarded secret (the dress was protected by military-like security during filming), it has been reported that it’s made of lace and satin, features 100 buttons down the back and has long sleeves.

In addition, the Twilight book describes Bella’s bridal gown as an early 1900s design that’s ‘just stepped out of an Austen movie’, so it will be suitably classic in style.

The same kind of approach is reflected in Herrera’s Autumn / Winter 2012 bridal collection, which features nipped-in waists flowing into gorgeously full and flowing skirts.

India to Host Ultra Lavish Wedding

14 November 2011 By

India is to host a six-day wedding next month which is set to make the Royal nuptials seem rather modest.

Two of the country’s most prominent families will hold the special event in the town of Safai, Uttar Pradesh – the attendance of which could fill London’s O2 arena five times over.

The guest list is also likely to read like a who’s who of Indian business, politics, religion and Bollywood.

Prateek Yadav, 23, and Aparna Bisht, 21 will tie the knot in lavish style. The wedding, which opens on 2 December and concludes with a reception in Lucknow for 1,500 people on the 7th, has taken six months to prepare.

The actual ceremony will fall on the third day, when numbers will swell to 100,000. Food will be distributed, and the local streets are to be flooded with music and dancing.

Prateek’s father, is the distinguished head of the Samajwadi (Socialist) Party, three times Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh (India’s most populous region with 200 million citizens), an ex-Defence Minister of India and a political hero to millions around the country.

Aparna’s father, Arvind Singh Bisht, is the editor of the Lucknow branch of The Times of India in Uttar Pradesh.

The couple have been friends for eight years, romantically making them high-school sweethearts.

Nikki Reed Announces Wedding Plans

6 October 2011 By

Twilight star Nikki Reed has announced plans are underway to marry her former American Idol contestant Paul McDonald.

The official wedding date and location have not as yet been revealed, but the couple are expected to tie the knot soon.

Ms Reed has however confirmed that the location has been secured, and that she has already chosen her maid of honour – long time friend and actress , who starred in the movie called Spy Kids.

Nikki has also revealed that she has picked her wedding dress for the special day, but is refusing to share further details with the public or even her fiancée as she does not want to spoil the surprise.

Nevertheless, it is predicted that she will opt for a romantically soft and pale colour scheme for her gown.

The couple have said that they’re both taking a great interest in the planning of the nuptials and are thoroughly enjoying it. This makes a nice break from tradition where the bride mostly takes responsibility for the multitude of tasks to be completed before the big day.

Saif and Kareena to Tie the Knot Next Year

19 September 2011 By

The hottest couple in Bollywood are causing a stir with talk of marriage next year.

While actors Saif Ali Khan and his girlfriend have generally been tight lipped about their relationship, an exclusive interview with NDTV revealed that Saif is looking forward to tying the knot with Bebo and will announce the wedding date after the release of his new movie ‘Agent Vinod’.

The 41-year-old Bollywood star is keeping fans guessing by saying that he wants to focus on his movie project for the moment before releasing more details.

Nevertheless, rumours about Kareena Kapoor’s wedding outfit are already rife. She is said to be making frequent trips to Delhi for fittings with popular fashion designer Ritu Kumar.

Further rumours indicate that Manish Malhotra will be the designer for Kareena as they are friends. Saif’s mother Sharmila Tagore also has an old association with Kumar and reportedly wants her to design the wedding dresses for her future daughter-in-law.

What’s more, the dupatta Sharmila wore on her wedding day will reportedly be incorporated in Bebo’s wedding attire since the family wants a royal traditional look for Kareena on her special day.

Paul McCartney Begins Wedding Plans

12 September 2011 By

It has been officially announced that former Beatle Paul McCartney and his American heiress fiancée Nancy Shevell have begun their wedding preparations.

Reports claim that the special day will take place within weeks, if not sooner. The couple are said to be getting married in an intimate ceremony attended only by close friends and family at McCartney’s beautiful and spacious English estate.

Following the nuptials, the newly-weds also plan to throw a big bash for their friends in New York.

Ms Shevell is currently vice president for her family’s transport conglomerate there, but she will relocate to her fiancé’s native England while making regular trips back to the US. McCartney meanwhile is still enjoying making music and has even said he would play at the 2012 Olympic Games if asked.

This will be the third time McCartney has tied the knot, while Ms Shevell was formerly married to wealthy lawyer Bruce Blakeman.

The couple have been dating for four years. McCartney, 68, proposed to Shevell, 51, earlier this month in California with a five carat, $650,000 ring. She described the band as a vintage 1925 engagement solitaire.

Fashion Icon Lagerfeld on Royal Wedding

9 September 2011 By

Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld has given his critique of the Royal Wedding fashion in an interview with a French television network.

On the positive side, he praised the integration of Duchess Catherine into the Royal family and said it has helped stir people’s interest in them again: “Royalty is very trendy. People are excited by it. There is no political ideology for the moment, so they have to turn to something they can identify with.”

He was impressed with Catherine’s choice of gown, designed by Sarah Burton, for her special day: “It’s a bridal gown of very refined detail, much more refined than the one Diana wore. Catherine’s dresses are always very elegant. It’s very pretty and relatively classic with a little touch of the 1950s that recalls Marilyn Monroe or Queen Elizabeth II’s dress. The lace is pretty, especially the embroidered veil, and the tiara not too high. It’s ravishing and the length of the train is perfect.”

Unfortunately, eccentric Lagerfeld made some searing remarks about the general fashion sense at the Royal nuptials, claiming the event was dominated by women with “bad proportions, ugly hats and short skirts on fat legs.”
