Kate Middleton's wedding dress is an ivory gown with lace applique floral detail designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen.
Made of ivory and white satin gazar, the skirt resembles "an opening flower" with white satin gazar arches and pleats.
And Kate's bridal flowers contain a touching tribute to her husband her bouquet includes sweet William.
The dress's train measures just two metres 70 centimetres - modest in comparison to many previous royal brides.
St James's Palace said the bride chose British brand Alexander McQueen for the "beauty of its craftsmanship" and its "respect for traditional workmanship and the technical construction of clothing".
Kate worked closely with Burton, who was widely speculated to have won the coveted job to create the historic bridal gown, on the design.
St James's Palace said: "She had a vision in mind that she wanted to support the Arts and Crafts tradition."
