kate + wills 4-ever

April 28, 2011 by Mrs. Jones Admin

everyone, everywhere seems to be chiming in on tomorrow’s royal wedding…and mrs. jones may never recover from the crushing blow of not having made the guest list. the only thing keeping her crumpets together is seeing all the pretty, brit-y things on offer all around.  two faves:

this hand-embroidered royal wedding cushion, by jan constantine (who i think may be a sort of british soul-sister to natalie chanin, with the value she places on traditional hand-stitching and natural fibers)

Royal Wedding Cushion

and this union jack dresser, painted by one of my design crushes and kindred spirits, barb blair of knack and design*sponge fame…

now as to the matter of tiara vs. hat…it could go either way, i think…but miss middleton will look gorgeous whichever she chooses.  

and this officially concludes our royal wedding coverage.

    I KNEW you wld do something about the royal wedding. Note the similarity between Kate’s dress and Grace Kelly. I know it reminded me of another dress! And I am knocking off a Constatine pillow for my daughter at this very moment…..
