Exhibition curator Caroline de Guitaut adjusts The Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress, designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, in Buckingham Palace, London, Wednesday July 20, 2011, before it goes on display to the public during the palace's annual summer opening. The intricately decorated wedding dress received a rapturous reception. For months, it was fashion's best-kept secret. Even the team of embroiderers at Hampton Court Palace working on the gown did not know the identity of the designer until shortly before the public announcement. But as soon as the Duchess appeared leaving the Goring Hotel and then entering Westminster Abbey on her wedding day on April 29, the secret was out. The bridal gown featured lace appliqua floral detail and was made of ivory and white satin gazar, with a skirt that resembled "an opening flower" with white satin gazar arches and pleats. Its train measured just 9ft - modest in comparison with many previous royal brides. (AP Photo/Lewis Whyld, pool)

A recreation of the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding bouquet is seen at Buckingham Palace in London, Wednesday July 20, 2011, before it goes on display during the palace's annual summer opening. Shane Connolly, artistic director of flowers, said the Duchess had a "huge" input for the flowers and shrubbery used on the day, "The Duchess and I started talking about the bouquet quite early on in the process. "We always knew it wouldn't be very large, that it would include lily of the valley, which is a great favourite of hers and her mother carried in her wedding bouquet. "We used hyacinths which again the symbolism is constancy of love, so that had a beautiful meaning. Myrtle was included, grown from the bouquet of Queen Victoria, and some ivy which symbolises a happy marriage." (AP Photo/Lewis Whyld,,pool)
