It is the last week of April and for most of us, anticipation for the royal wedding has reached fever pitch. Obviously, weddings being just our kind of thing, we at Wedding Inspirasi are not immune! So today we are presenting bookmakers Paddy Power top 10 list for “Designer of Kate Middleton’s wedding dress”.
Kate Middleton’s Wedding Dress Designer (Bookmakers’ Choice)
Bruce Oldfield – The Hot Favorite
An early favorite for title of royal wedding dress designer, Bruce Oldfield is still the top name on this list. His designs are elegant and timeless — a right fit for a soon-to-be Princess. Oldfield also hinted that there might be two wedding dresses instead of one (oooh! how juicy!). Having so brazenly display insider’s knowledge of the details for the upcoming nuptials, is it any wonder that the odds are 1-3 for Bruce Oldfield to be Kate Middleton’s wedding gown designer?
Sarah Burton (Alexander McQueen)
Another favorite, Sarah Burton, creative director of Alexander McQueen, was tipped as the royal wedding gown designer some time in March this year. This will be an interesting choice as Sarah Burton’s designs are known for being theatrical and fashion forward. The royal wedding will need a wedding dress that will define wedding dresses for decades to come. Will Kate Middleton be walking the aisle in a dramatically designed Sarah Burton wedding dress? The odds stand at 6-1.
Alice Temperley
Beautiful Grecian goddess drape gowns will work well on Kate’s slim, statuesque figure. Should the future princess be inclined to don something regally elegant with divine feminine details, Alice Temperley wedding dresses will hit all the right notes. Odds: 4-1
Phillipa Lepley
Phillipa Lepley‘s pretty wedding dresses were a big hit with Wedding Inspirasi readers. Already a celebrity favorite, would Lepley’s design prove a winner with the soon-to-be royalty too? Odds: 8-1
Daniella Issa Helayel
The whole world is acquainted with that blue engagement dress by Issa. Daniella Issa Helayel is one of Miss Middleton’s favorite designers so it wouldn’t be that big a surprise if she were to be married in one of Issa’s creations. Odds: 12-1
Sophie Cranston (Libelula)
Out of nowhere, the name Sophie Cranston was suddenly tossed about last week as possible designer of the wedding frock, only to have her deny it a few days later. What are the odds of Kate Middleton getting married in a Libelula wedding dress? Odds: 16-1
Vivienne Westwood
Yes, The Dame has deemed Catherine Middleton's sartorial choices as predictable. One of Britain's most influential designers, Westwood's designs can be edgy or sophisticated or both, but always British in essence. Will Vivienne Westwood unexpectedly emerge as the designer of Kate Middleton's wedding gown? Odds: 25-1.
Stella McCartney
Prince Charles is a champion of green fashion, so if Kate wants to take a leaf out of her father-in-law's book, she should consider eco-conscious designer Stella McCartney. Odds: 25-1
Vera Wang
The name Vera Wang is synonymous with "wedding dress" around the world. Would this name also be forever associated with the wedding of Will and Kate after the 29th? Odds: 33-1
Karl Lagerfeld (Chanel)
Lily Allen may have chosen Karl Lagerfeld to design her gown but at the moment, Chanel seems like a less likely choice for Middleton. Will there be an unexpected twist to this fairytale wedding story? Odds: 50-1
