Britain Royal Wedding Exhibition

The Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress, designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, is seen in Buckingham Palace, London, Wednesday July 20, 2011, before going 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)
