Blue Monday - Royal Wedding

Hello! It's Blue Monday! For instructions, just click here.

Visit other Blue participants and wish them a Happy Blue Monday!

Please leave me a comment after you link in. I will visit you!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This past Friday the world experienced an exciting event.

Kate Middleton and Prince William were married April 29th.

Remember how beautiful she looked in her blue engagement dress? William also chose to wear a blue suit.




Here's a close-up of that gorgeous sapphire blue engagement ring.





Did you see the wedding? I did! Yep, I got up at 4 am.

I noticed plenty of Blue.

Carole Middleton, the mother of the bride, wore Sky Blue.





Camilla, the wife of Prince Charles, father of the groom, wore a soft shade of Blue.





Best man Prince Harry’s girlfriend, Chelsy Davy, wore Aqua Blue.





Victoria Beckham wore a Navy Blue outfit.





Why, even the groom wore a bit of Blue.





Here's my pick for the best use of color: Royal Blue.
Isn't long-term friend of Prince William, socialite, Tara Palmer-Tomkinson stunning?




Happy Blue Monday!

    Oh my gosh, I am the first one to link. That's a first. Sally, your blue review is awesome and so was the wedding. My sisters and I did the same thing at 4:00 am. We really enjoyed the wedding together.

    The Royal wedding - what a huge fuss. In this day and age I'm surprised that the UK still is so upbeat about Kings and Queens.

    Very nice collection of blues there! The news commentators I watched called Camilla's and Mrs. Middleton's dresses powder blue. I wondered if they coordinated that.
