Three Haute Mamas

Hats "on" for the British!

Hello Mamas,

Yes I am awake at this ungodly hour sitting here taking in every moment of the Royal Wedding. I remember watching with my grandmother in 1981 the wedding of Charles and Diana. This morning many years and life experiences later as I watch now my mind wanders more to Kate Middleton. Having been a bride myself I think about the moments before she walks down that aisle. The comfort for her is that she has known Prince William for almost a decade. They have grown up together and have survived the young and reckless years of school and still choose each other. I see a forever fairy tale for these two, thankfully because the world needs a fairy tale. 

As I anticipate seeing the beautiful Kate and her wedding gown I am in awe of the British guests and their Hats!!! One designer that is being worn today is Philip Treacy. His hats are a work of art, the dilemma for me would be which one to chose!

So on this day April 29, 2011 my hat is off to the newly titled Duke and Duchess of Cambridge or as we will always think of them Prince William and Princess Kate. May you remain "IN" love for the rest of your royal life together. Sigh............

Royally Fun! Bianca de la Garza, M.Al-Fayed + of course..Will and Kate

You all know I love me a good celeb, and the royals are like the frosting on the cake.  Three haute mama friend Bianca de la Garza is over covering the royal affair for WCVB Channel 5 and got to sit down with Princess Dianas lovers father, Mohamed Al-Fayed.  How fabulously glamorous is that? I'm a little obsessed.  Can you imagine owning Harrods? I own shoes, chairs, books, but Harrods?! Un. Real. He said he thinks William wanted him at the wedding but he was blocked by the royal family! Gasp! That is sooo royal family like! That is exactly why this country needs a royal family-for stories like this.  Watch all of Bianca's amazing reporting here and on the wonderful Channel 5

 

I am very in awe of the soon to be princess because like any girl my age I was up at the crack o' early watching Princess Diana  marry her soon to be ex-husband prince and sucked up every single 25 foot train minute of it.  Not gonna lie..I wanted to be a princess.  Still kinda do.  Will have to settle on sharing a name with one.  Enter my name twin Kate.  Similarities end there.

Thus defying the age old myth about Brits and bad teeth...

She's about 8 feet tall, body of a model and seems to be about the nicest person on earth.  The couple seems genuinely in love, and very, very down to earth.  Made me wonder what they'd do if they weren't surrounded by all this royalty.  I don't see them having such a traditional wedding.  I definitely think they'd be more of a Newport, Rhode Island type couple, preppy with a little off the beaten path thrown in.  Something cas, and family/friend oriented.  Maybe she'd invite her name twin? Moi? Maybe some J.Crew wedding attire because if they were "real" people they wouldn't have couture access now would they? Regardless I'll be up at the crack o'early once again, all eyes on London and the cute couple.  Will you be watching too? You know we will, and live tweeting, so grab your coffee join us and if you are on Twitter.  Black tie optional;)

Bill + Hillary's little girl's going to the chapel

Remember when Chelsea moved into the White House? Hello awkward! Yet she's grown into such a lovely woman (Keratin much?)

and I'm so happy for her marrying that handsome what's his name..

 And not a tad bit jealous (two million dollar wedding?!).  If anything I'd love to get myself on that guest list.  Hmmm.. 

scratch that idea..

Back to weddings.......

Style Me Pretty Where oh where were you when I was planning my wedding?! Doesn't matter. I still come to get lost in your gorgeous photos and weddings day after day for no reason other than sheer eye candy. The flowers, the dresses, the brides, the everything. How on earth that many perfect weddings happen day after day is beyond me but keep 'em coming! And she gets bonus points..because she's...from Boston!

- Wedding Style-When I was planning my wedding there was a new publication called Grace Ormonde, Wedding Style. 

Grace Ormonde has built an enviable reputation in the wedding industry for creating the platforms for wedding specialists to showcase their products and services while offering prospective brides and grooms a multitude of choices, ideas and alternatives for planning their wedding. She has consistently made creativity and innovation hallmarks of her enterprises.

I bought every single one, and dissected them, word by word. I even hired her brother to DJ/light my wedding (who was fabulous by the way).  It's thatgood.  I even subscribed after I was married (yes. My husband thought I was nuts and still does for many..many reasons but that's another day, another post). Anywhooo...Wedding Style has gone on from a regional publication to a worldwide one, and features nothing but the best of the best.  She also wrote the book on weddings.  No. Literally..

These two sites alone should keep you thouroughly engaged (no pun intended) for quite some time. Congratulations Chelsea and ........well, whatever his name is, they are a gorgeous couple and Three Haute Mamas wishes them nothing but the best! And can't wait to see the dress;)
