Modern arrival

Kate surprised palace planners by choosing a 1977 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI instead of the traditional glass coach, a decision that raised concerns about safety and the car's condition.

Meaningful bouquet

Her bouquet, by Shane Connolly, mixed British blooms including myrtle from Queen Victoria, lily of the valley, hyacinth, ivy and Sweet William as a nod to her husband.

Royal cake

Baker Fiona Cairns made an eight-tier fruit cake weighing about 70 kilos, which was served at the wedding breakfast to roughly 600 guests; slices were kept for later family christenings.

Private party performance

The intimate afterparty featured live music and a playful moment when the newlyweds lip-synced and danced to 'You're the One That I Want,' delighting their guests.

Something new

Kate's 'something new' was a pair of Robinson Pelham earrings gifted by her parents, featuring an oak leaf and a pear-shaped diamond that she has worn on other occasions.
