Enough chatter – feast your eyes on these babies (Sherry’s over the moon for the one on the top right) and be sure to head over their website for more eye candy.

I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!!!
And though my mother woke me up to watch Princess Diana and Charles’ wedding I have to admit as an adult I enjoy my sleep too much to have gotten up for it this time around!!!
Katie says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!
I didn’t watch it live, but snuck a look at pictures of her dress between my early work meetings and vegged out in front of my mom’s tv that night watching the entire thing. So much for not caring!
Amanda says
I want the royal treatment!!! It would be a fabulous way to surprise myself on my birthday – easier said than done. :)
And since we don’t have TV, I was able to avoid a lot of the royal wedding jazz. I’m marrying a British guy and even his family thinks Americans were over the top about it!
kimliveshealthy says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT! Had to watch the royal wedding recaps online at work all day and keep hitting “refresh” to see the latest pictures!
Clara says
I want the royal treatment!
Royal Design Studio has really beautiful stencils. I love maroccan and damask. Can’t get enough… *sigh*
I only saw bits and snippets of the royal wedding, including these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MAAQ9wyQb8
Jayne says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT…BAD!!
I did not wake up early, I was perfectly content with the recaps blasted all over the news. I was very curious, though, on the fashion surrounding the big day!
Erin S says
I want the royal treatment! So long as it doesn’t involve a fascinator larger than my own face. And I saw everything I needed to know about the royal wedding in the first ten minutes of “Fashion Police” the next day.
Lorrie says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!
I really didn’t have much interest in the Royal Wedding. Now if they were doint a tour of their house or the Castle, then I would have been on board.
Eryn says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT
I wasn’t totally consumed with the royal wedding. I was curious to see her dress. I actually woke up on my own around 2 am (PST) and thought, “Hey, it’s starting. Should I see if I can catch a glimpse of her dress?” So I flicked on the tv, but after 20 minutes of Prince William, my patience was gone and the tv was off. I figured I’d wait for Oprah…Kate did look beatiful.
Amy says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!
I did not get up to watch the wedding although I did turn it on while I was getting ready for work and I did DVR it for later.
cara says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT! Yup, totally caught up, but luckily only in the last week! The night of, I stayed up til 3am — just 1 hour shy of seeing the footage live. But then I felt so ridic! I’m not sure what’s worse: giving up with 1 hour left or staying up that late :D But eeee Kate Middleton looked just so regal and beautiful, and all in all *le sigh* it was fantastic. Can you even imagine dreaming as a girl that you’d marry royalty? I mean, sure, we all dreamed of marrying Prince William, but *really* marrying him? That is one job (the royalty part, with knowing everyone + all the politics + can you really do what you want? — not the marrying part, since I don’t really know PW) that I don’t envy Kate.
Morgan says
I want the royal treatment! Only got to see the after photos…
Debbie says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!!! I loved the royal wedding mania and watched every second of the footage. Harry and William were too cute and Kate was gorge!
Amanda says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!
I was right in the middle. I oggled over the dresses and fashion the day of, and bought the special commemorative issue of People magazine, but I mostly ignored all the hubbub leading up to it an sure as heck wasn’t going to stay up or get up early to watch it live!
Daniela says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!
I tried not to get caught up but ended up seeing tons of pictures for days!
kristen says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!…i wasn’t that into it, until my 4 year old and 20 month old daughters got SUPER excited about seeing a “real” princess!! They thought it was sooo awesome!
Sylvr says
I want the royal treatment!!
I had absolutely no interest in the Royal Wedding however I absolutely LOVE Royal Design Studio stencils!
Tricia says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT! i loved following the wedding!
Lianna says
I want the royal treatment!
I definitely googled the dress the next day. And man, that certain hat you mentioned was a doozy!
Eva says
I want the royal treatment! I dozed off while watching and dreamt that I was there.
Ash says
I want the royal treatment!
I tried not to care about the wedding. But I am a newlywed. It is impossible for me not to gaze upon all that is wedding-related.
Pamela says
I want the royal treatment!!
After the whole event I went online to check out some of the details but that was about it.
Kelly V says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT! I did catch part of the wedding and it was lovely. Kate looked absolutely stunning in her gown!
Susan says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!!
I got up early and watched the whole thing, I even teared up when she got out of the car (how embarrassing!)
Christina says
I want the royal treatment! I was moderately into it.
Mary Peterson says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!
I did NOT wake up early to watch the festivities, but I admit to having the tube on most of the rest of the day to catch bits of recap. Since then, nary a thought has been had about the new royal couple.
Molly S says
I want the royal treatment! Planning my own wedding, it’s hard not to look at all the pictures and analyze the details!
Jocelyn Adams says
I want the royal treatment!!! Totally addicted to the wedding!!
Sarah says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!
I took the day off work (I may love weddings, but I can’t get up at 3 am), TiVoed the whole thing and watched the Today show coverage from start to finish – I only fast forwarded through the ads because I was too worried I’d miss “vital” commentary before the ceremony. I’d printed the ceremony program out in advance and followed along while watching.
It was a great, relaxing day for me and my puppy girl – and my hubby is 100% relieved I finished watching it before he got home. Our only debate now is whether or not I get to keep the coverage long-term or if we delete it (to illustrate this conflict: his email inbox ALWAYS = 0 while mine has 4,000+ emails, 2,000+ of which are unread).
Katherine says
I want the Royal Treatment!!
I caught it almost by accident: I was getting ready for work and flipped on the TV to see the weather report – something I rarely do as I usually check the ‘nets – and I couldn’t avoid it! It was on every channel!! Lurrrved the dress.
Although, I will share this story: my cousin lives in London and actually planned on being OUT of the country/city for the weekend since it was going to be manic with all the media in town. They said it was a really common thing, too, most Londoners were absent from the ceremonies!!
Nikki says
Although I did not watch the wedding I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT. Pretty please with a crystal-studded crown on top : )
Mina says
“I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!”
Please. I am also in love with the top right pattern because that’s my future room color inspiration so I think getting a wallpaper instead of curtains/bedding/accessories would be a lot less expensive and it’d give me a blank canvas of white (I love white). :-)
Back to the question: I was so busy working the wedding came and gone without me watching it, but a friend DVR’d it and so I got to relax and see it later in the week. I only watched when they did the vows and mostly the normal wedding routine, but skipped everything else. If I were Kate I’d be exhausted, it’s a good thing a nap was scheduled for that day, geez.
Fiona @ Jackadaw says
I want the royal treatment. Here in Australia the wedding was on in the evening so I definately watched it.
Morgan says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT !
Yes, I cleared out everything on the DVR (including my husband’s soccer games, oops!) to record every last second of the Royal Wedding. It was the best weekend ever.
Jacqueline says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!! I was so into the royal wedding, I took the day off school
Lisa says
I want the royal treatment!!
I disliked all the wedding hype, but was anxious to see the dress first thing when I woke up. The husband and I did watch the abridged special on TV and I was pleased by the elegant simplicity of it all.
Emily B says
I want the royal treatment!!!!
I didn’t wake up to watch it, but I dvr’d it and watched the whole thing…along with a very excited three year old princess. :)
carrie says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!
I just wanted to see Kate’s dress and some of the hats. Otherwise, I was in the middle. I did see the wedding live, but that was only because I have insomnia…and at least there was something on to watch!
Kelly Berggren says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!
I thought I was totally ‘over’ the royal wedding until it started…I couldn’t stop watching! Loved it. :)
Tamara says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!
I couldn’t give a hoot about that silly Royal Wedding…. I have my happily ever after right here is Missouri!
Leanne says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT! But I only watched about 5 minutes of the actual royals….
Allie says
i want the royal treatment!!
i wasn’t really into the whole royal wedding hooplah. i didn’t see any of the live coverage and only watched some of the recaps because i was curious to see what the dress looked like!
tia says
I want the royal treatment, but I’m not really interested in watching royalty parade on the telly. I WILL take the condensed slide show of hats. That’s entertainment!
Sarah says
I want the royal treatment!
I caught bits of it & thought it was just lovely- a bit formal and over-the-top for my taste, but hey- they’re royalty! :)
Bryan W. says
“I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!”
Not swept up, but politely listened to my wife talk about it :)
Tricia Gascoyne says
I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT! We didn’t watch the wedding live but my 3 year old daughter and I watched it the next day and 4 times sense. My husband is English and we lived in England for 6 years so the royal wedding feels very much a part of our culture even though we live in the US now.
Amanda says
I want the royal treatment!!
I was mildly interested in what dress she chose and was psyched to see she went with lace sleeves. Hopefully (and without doubt) more dresses will become available with that incredibly romantic feature. Otherwise, I was just too busy.
Lisa S says
I want the royal treatment . . .
Alison says
I want the royal treatment!
I didn’t get into the royal wedding, but I did appreciate the picture of that frowny little girl holding the pink wiggly worm.
Jen @ Domesticated Nomad says
“I WANT THE ROYAL TREATMENT!”
I wanted to see the dress and find out what titles they were going to have since that was a whole mini controversy. I watched it on rerun – I was so confident they’d show it repeatedly that I did not DVR it.
