Royal bride Kate Middleton picked British label Alexander McQueen for her wedding dress, revealing the design to the world as she arrived at Westminster Abbey to marry Prince William, the second in line to the British throne.
The floor-length ivory dress with lace detailing was designed by Sarah Burton, assistant to McQueen for over a decade before he committed suicide in 2010. Burton, a Briton, was appointed creative director of McQueen, part of PPR SA, last year. Middleton wore a diamond tiara and full veil.
