Kate in Beulah London for Summer Wedding

Kate and William were out and about in Somerset today for a friend’s wedding.

The bride is one of Kate and Pippa’s closer friends, Alice St. John Webster.

For the occasion Kate went to a label she has worn previously, Beulah London. Many thanks to Bella from Duchess of Cambridge News on Facebook, she identified the Blossom Dress as what Kate wore.

Beulah London ‘Blossom’ Dress

From the product description on the Beulah London page:

With long billowing sleeves and knee length style, this dress is the perfect piece for any smart, summer occasion. The unique print and cut makes this dress original, flattering and feminine in a versatile way that can be worn from day to evening.

Here we show more detail, you can better see the pleating at the neckline and waist.

More on the dress:

100% silk chiffon print with bemberg/acetate lining . Pleating on shoulders and cuff. Thin tie around waist. Concealed zip fastening at the centre back of the dress.

Th ‘Blossom’ pattern is a relatively well-known motif for Beulah, it is available in other colors and merchandise, below we show it in a Scarf. Our pal Carly at Pippa Middleton Style has several photos of Pippa wearing Beulah, including one here.

Some may recall it was the Sarai dress by Beulah that Kate wore for the 100 Women in Hedge Funds party back in October.

As Regal Eyes told us during the October event, the label was actually started by one of Prince William’s former flames, Natasha Rufus Isaacs, along with Lavinia Brennan. The company is engaged in a number of charitable causes, something I’m sure Kate pays close attention to.  Below, a tweet from Niraj Tanna of IKON Pictures.

Kate also wore her trusty Sledge pumps and carried her Natalie clutch, both from LK Bennett.

Will apologies for the brevity of today’s post, we’ll see you soon.

Some of the comments on here are ridiculous - almost like the ones on sites where women bash Kate. Come one! It's a pink, flowery dress in the middle of frikin JUNE! She looked summery and beautiful. I thought this was absolutely appropriate and lovely. I attended a wedding in April and wore the same color, summer dress. Maybe this was a casual wedding, since all the women are dressed in light dresses? As for Pippa, I really liked the dress; it's dainty and girly.

Kate looked so pretty, just like before she was engaged and used to wear those wrap dresses: airy, light, flirty. Very youthful, if you ask me. I'd wear it any day and I'm a few years younger than Kate.

LOVE the nude pumps; they are a staple and go with everything.

We shouldn't even KNOW what she's wearing to a personal friend's wedding; we're lucky we got to see her ... let's be nice.

At least she looked a darn sight better than some of the guests especially the bloke in the tartan pants.

I truly hate it when my perfectly legitimate replies to people's comments aren't posted. It is beyond unfair and biased.

That's unfortunate. Comments deemed to be combative, argumentative, off topic, or otherwise inappropriate are not published.

I thought the dress was pretty. I think it is important to note that the Duchess was not supposed to be the center of attention - it was her friend - the bride's - big day. It was bad enough that as she and William got out of their car that a gaggle of young girls ran across the lawn screaming (in joy) at them. While some of the outfits that Kate wears are not ones that I might choose - I find that she has an unerring ability to dress for the occasion - keeping in mind what her place at that occasion might be. The dress looked comfortable and, given the weather, one in which she would keep warm on the arms without the encumbrance of a coat or wrap. Too much is made of the sledge heels (criticism wise). Wen one is going to be standing for long periods, it is important to have shoes that are comfortable. Look at pictures of the Queen - one will see that time and again she has on the same shoes - black with a metal chain. There is nothing worse that being on one's feet and having foot pains.

All in all, she sets an example of how one can be stylish and appropriately dressed. Countess of Wexford also is stylish and appropriate. How I wish more young women would look to them rather than the Paris Hilton's, Kardashians et al, or any of the others who feel that more skin, skintight and thigh high outfits are appropriate.

Great comments - add to them what seems to be clearer every day, that she is going to do her best to avoid having a "fashion following", including people screaming over her arrival...Prince William is certainly not into that response, and it's clear it isn't what Kate wants either. Solution? Limit the wow factor when all eyes shouldn't be on her, such as weddings, Jubilee events, etc. She picks pretty clothes, no question, but uses them to the absolute hilt, and very shrewdly, in my opinion. Most people expressing dissatisfaction with her style reference boring, monotonous, etc. - and I still say that is exactly how Kate wants it. That hopefully, at the end of the day, people won't be excessively interested in what she wears, and will instead pay attention to the causes that truly matter. Too often we judge other people's sense of style on what we would wear in their circumstances, not on WHY they're wearing what they do. The skintight, skin-exposing brigade dresses that way for a specific reason too, just a very, very different reason from the DoC. I vastly prefer her mindset.
