Wills & Kate Attend the Wedding of Emily McCorquodale & James Hutt


On Saturday Emily McCorquodale celebrated her marriage to James Hutt. Emily grew up alongside William & Harry (she is the daughter of Princess Diana's sister - Lady Sarah), spending childhood holidays playing in the sand with her cousins.


The wedding was attended by William, Kate & Harry and took place in a pretty church in the Lincolnshire hamlet of Stoke Rochford.



Once again, Kate decided to shop her closet and wore some familiar pieces.




The Duchess wore the Jenny Packham dress from the polo match last summer. It's a 'De Gournay' silver and marble grey hand-painted chinoiserie silk frock from Packham's Spring 2011 collection.





On top of the, Kate wore her Katherine Hooker dove-gray, cowl jewel cuffed Katherine Hooker 'Buxton' coat from Ms. Hooker's Summer 2011 Collection. Kate wore this coat to the Garter Day Celebrations back in June 2011.


The Duchess of Cambridge made a small fashion faux pas. Her dress was longer than her coat.



She completed the muted look with elegant Whiteley hat that she wore to the Epsom Derby last year.


Kate wore her hair half up in a braid around the crown of her head.





The Duchess accessorized with her Hobbs Somerton Clutch, her nude L.K.Bennett heels, her Heavenly Necklace Earrings, and, of course, her gorgeous sapphire and diamond engagement ring.

Kate and William were welcomed at the cathedral today by hundreds of well-wishers who had gathered outside the cathedral ahead of today's service.





As one of the senior royals, Kate walked alongside William down the long aisle of St Paul's cathedral just ahead of the Queen as the monarch arrived for today's service.

After the service William and Kate rode in a carriage procession with other members of the Royal Family.




The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge attended a reception at Guildhall, and then Kate was one of a number of royals including Charles and Camilla who attended the City of London Livery companies lunch, held for some 700 guests. There was a wide range of representation in trades and professions, ranging from grocers and gunmakers to fruiterers and fishmongers.





The Jubilee celebrations came to a climax as the senior royals were met with a huge outpouring of adoration from a sea of people head-to-toe in red, white and blue who gathered below the balcony at Buckingham Palace.





Kate opted for a stunning bespoke slim-fitting nude lace shift dress with a white sheath underlay by Alexander McQueen. The dress had full-length sleeves, an accented waist with ribbon belt and ladylike knee-length hemline. A similar dress bought off the shelf would cost around £2,865.




She polished off her look with a matching bespoke beaded cocktail hat and birdcage veil with a disc trim by milliner Jane Taylor (£790).
