Comments from France on a few of the Royal Wedding outfits

Yesterday was very quiet here in the small French village of Grimaud. No street parties and no bunting to celebrate the Royal wedding. In fact it was just a normal day. So a few of us patriotic Brits got together to watch the happy couple tie the knot and we raised a glass of Champagne to their future together. Most of the time we spent watching the amazing fashion parade unfolding before our eyes as the guests arrived at Westminster Abbey; making comments as to what we liked or disliked along the way. The general concensus was that we loved “the dress” however as there is already so much coverage and comments as to what Kate and the younger members of the royal party were wearing I thought that I would stick to the more mature members the congregation.

All three dressed very appropriately for the occasion

All three great examples of how to dress appropriately for a wedding, they have set a high standard for wedding guests and mothers/grandmothers of the bride/groom this season. What do you think?

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

Many have especially complimented Camilla, who was atypically up to date. The Queen is my favourite, though, in that sunny yellow. Here in Canada we do not muster the hats as the British do- makes for fascinating watching.
