100 diamonds in Nikki Reed’s wedding dress
Nikki Reed‘Twilight’ actress Nikki Reed reportedly wed fiance Paul McDonald in a diamond studded wedding gown. The 23-year-old’s ivory white, body-hugging dress wedding dress had a hundred diamond buttons. The couple tied the knot at a private ranch in Malibu, Calif. "We couldn’t be happier. We were surrounded by our family and friends. We’re so glad this day has come," Reed said. The actress had collaborated with bridal jewelry brand Tacori, which crafted not only the engagement and wedding bands for the couple, but her wedding gown as well. "It was a 40’s classic glamour silhouette. It flows back into a 72-inch train, about six feet. It’s extremely simple.

Instead of a traditional, silk wrap button, we did diamond buttons. A little over 100 carats just on the buttons," said Michelle Adorjan, designer at Tacori. The couple got married after dating for only two months.

Kate Middleton to wear a modest wedding dress
Kate MiddletonBruce Oldfield has predicted that royal bride-to-be Kate Middleton will wear a modest dress on her wedding day. On the US breakfast show Good Morning America, Oldfield, who is believed to have won the coveted commission to create Middleton’s bridal gown, said Prince William’s fiancée’s outfit will have sleeves but will still provoke a strong reaction from the watching world. In keeping with the tradition of past royal weddings, most famously Diana, Princess of Wales’s wedding. She will also wear a veil. But for the evening dinner and dance, hosted by her future father-in-law the Prince of Wales, Middleton will change into another dress, he said. When asked if there would be two dresses on the wedding day, Oldfield replied ‘yes’ but remained tight-lipped about his sources and whether he had been commissioned to create the wedding gown. He predicted that the marriage outfit, despite being demure, would still cause a strong reaction when William’s fiancée arrives at Westminster Abbey for the ceremony on April 29th.

The designer said, ‘‘whatever happens, there’s going to be a sharp intake of breath, "Shhh - oh my God, what is she wearing" or, "Oh, doesn’t she look fabulous?"

“I’m sure the dress is going to be modest in terms of coverage - it has to be. It will have sleeves, it has to have sleeves.

“You can’t walk down Westminster Abbey in a strapless dress. It just wouldn’t happen. It has to suit the grandeur of that aisle, it’s enormous. I can predict she will wear a veil,” he added.

Kate MiddletonKate Middleton is set to marry Prince William next year and she has reportedly chosen British designer Bruce Oldfield to create her wedding gown. There had been speculation that the 28 year old future queen, who will tie the knot on April 29, would choose her favourite label Issa to design the gown. But designer Ben de Lisi says Bruce has been handed the task. "There are lots of rumours but I’ve heard it is Bruce Oldfield," said Ben. "I’m absolutely certain I won’t get chosen. I’m sure I’m not in the running." American-born Ben, whose gowns have been worn by Kate Winslet, Helena Bonham Carter and Angelica Huston, feels sorry for Kate because the whole world will be waiting to judge her wedding outfit.

"Kate has to do what’s right for Kate. It’s never going to be easy for her because the whole world is looking at her," said Ben.
