Royal Wedding: Bridesmaids

The four young bridesmaids wore handmade dresses by Nicki Macfarlane and her daughter.  Kate wanted the dresses to be "classic in design but would also echo elements of her own dress," the designer told People Magazine. The dresses used the same fabric used to make the wedding dress and the same lace as Kate's underskirt was used for the neckline and puff sleeves.  The girls also had similar buttons on the back.  The bridesmaid dresses were ballerina length with a box pleat skirt.  The girls wore satin Mary Jane shoes with Swarovski crystal buckles.  The flowers used for the hair wreath were lily-of-the-valleys.
