With all the hype and build-up surrounding the nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton, you'd think the royal wedding is the final event. But in reality, it's just the beginning. I have no doubt their wedding will influence the bridal industry for years to come in every possible way -- from design, fashion and customs. It will be the start of Kate's legacy as a trendsetter.
For the past few years, the industry has veered from the classic and luxe, experiencing a move towards vintage-inspired details and D.I.Y. weddings. We anticipate the regal affair will return our business to opulence, traditions and timeless fashions.
The British monarchy is rooted in ritual, and the royal wedding will inspire a new generation of brides to follow in their footsteps -- with more ceremonies held in churches, incorporating family heirlooms and traditional vow exchanges.
How The Royal Wedding Will Inspire Bridal Trends
From flowers to food, dresses to diamonds, this event will be imitated, replicated and reproduced for years. In my opinion, fashion will be most affected business aspect. Kate's dress, hair, makeup, accessories and bridesmaid dresses will surely spark new trends and renditions. She's already started fashion frenzies with her dapper stylistic choices -- from her classic Burberry trench coat to her silk sapphire-blue engagement dress by Issa, which sold out within 24 hours of her appearance! It's safe to say Kate's wedding look will launch her as a style icon, mirroring greats such as Jackie O., Audrey Hepburn and Princess Diana.
In addition to ushering in new styles, their wedding will be a day that brings love into many people's hearts and lives, and will renew the world's hope in the sanctity of marriage.
