A Royal Wedding Party!

My lovely friend Anne, a lifelong follower of the royal family, hosted the most wonderful wedding party this morning. Gathering at 5 am, we enjoyed a breakfast of scones, tea, strawberries and a bit of champagne, as we watched together. Anne's friend, whose husband recently returned from London, brought back charming wedding commemoratives. Pictured here though, is a Claudia Pearson tea towel. Absolutely love this all in blue!
Beautiful flowers...
Anne's exquisitely monogrammed linen...
lovely tea cups...
a just-installed Julie Neill Beatrice 2 chandelier, reminiscent of a crown and...
a lifelong collection of books on Princess Diana created the most wonderful atmosphere for our memorable time together. Thank you Anne!
p.s. Wasn't her wedding dress simply perfect!

What a fun way to watch the Royal Wedding! I really should have hosted something...but just couldn't swing it. I watched it in bed, snuggled up with my 2 little princes.

I thought it was divine in every way!!!

Here's to the darling bride and grroom. Love live the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!

What fun that must have been for all of you! Love the crown chandelier. That is the absolute best. Have a great weekend.

Michelle- Yes, the dress was perfect!

I have the first half of the wedding taped to watch later. I could not get up as early as you.

Correction - I would get up as early as you if I had a party to go to! And no children to see off to school!

Dang...a party that early. I would have had to stay up all night getting ready for it and then I might have been a tad cranky by the time everyone came. Good for Anne! It looked like fun and those linens are gorgeous!
