The eyes of the world will be on royal bride Kate Middleton as she steps out of her carriage on to the steps of Westminster Abbey to see what style and colour of dress she has chosen.
This will be the fashion moment of the century.
Many brides and fashionistas can’t hide their excitement and are waiting in anticipation to see what her choice will be – a satiny, clingy number, or a haze of taffeta and chiffon, with a train ten miles long.
There’s no doubt that Kate’s choice of design is sure to influence wedding dress styles for months to come and copies will be in the shops within days.

Some brides have an exact idea of what they want their dress to look like, but others find the choice isn’t so easy to make. This is why we have selected more than 70 gowns from many of the top bridal houses in Yorkshire to feature in this spring issue. The choice is varied from classic to the ultra modern, so put up your feet up with a glass of wine and start looking. Note the images of the dresses you like and you’ll start to build up a picture of what kind of shape, colour and style is for you. It’s also worth adding to your scrapbook any pictures of shoes, jewellery and headdresses or veils that you like.
