Celebrity Wedding Vendors:
The Wedding of Prince Charles & Camilla Parker-Bowles

Read about the wedding of Prince Charles & Camilla Parker-Bowles



Flower Arrangements: A variety of botanical displays, from the potted jasmine and lilies of the valley which adorned Guildhall to the blossoming crabapple trees which lined the interior of St. George's Chapel were arranged by Shane Connolly Flowers Ltd. as a way to showcase the bride and groom's love of the outdoors. The London-based florist's expertise in the art of floral design is captured in both Table Flowers and Shane Connolly's Wedding Flowers, a 143-page book containing 194 color photographs of ceremonial bouquets and centerpieces. Both books are available at Amazon.com.

Hair: The bride's blonde tresses framed her face in a stylish manner thanks to stylist Jo Hansford, proprietor of the Jo Hansford Salon in Mayfair, which offers a range of Jo Hansford hair care products including shampoos, conditioners, and a nourish and shine intensive treatment.

Hats: The creations of Irish-born milliner Philip Treacy have crowned the coifs of an eclectic menagerie of A-list celebrities over the years, including Madonna, Grace Jones and Marilyn Manson. Known for his theatrical headpieces, the designer conformed to convention for the bride's civil ceremony, concocting a wide-brimmed straw hat adorned with a froth of Irish lace and decorative plummage. His creative impulses were let loose, however, on Camilla's bridal chapeau -- a show-stopping hat fashioned of golden feathers which highlighted the bride's face. Philip Treacy also offers a range of accessories, including scarves, handbags and hair ornaments.

Makeup: While love may have been responsible in part for Camilla's luminous glow on her wedding day, the bride also received help from London-based makeup artist Julia Biddlecombe, who counts among her clients some of England's great beauties, including Elizabeth Hurley and Joan Collins. Julia B. is available to style the bride, bridesmaids, mother of the bride and children in the wedding party on the special day.

Men's Attire: Princes William and Harry set adolescent hearts aflutter as they exited Windsor Castle in stylish morning suits obtained at Gieves & Hawkes, which has provided aristocratic attire to England's elite since the 16th century.

Nails: Along with such notables as Madonna, Oprah WInfrey, Jennifer Lopez and Naomi Campbell, Essie Cosmetics can also count the newly-titled Duchess of Cornwall as a fan of their flamboyantly colored nail polish. Camilla is partial to a pink-tinted shade known as "Sugar Daddy."

Purse: At the civil ceremony, the bride carried a small calf leather clutch from Launer, which offers a wide range of handbags, wallets, coin purses and credit card holders, all of which proudly display the royal warrant of Queen Elizabeth II.

Shoes: Camilla must have felt as though she was walking on air on her wedding day, due in part to shoes fashioned by Linda Bennett, who can boast such luminaries as Joan Collins, former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell and the "Pretty Woman" herself, Julia Roberts among her clientele. For the civil ceremony the bride wore a beige shoe with a 1.9-inch heel which provided the illusion of an elongated figure, while shoes which mirrored the pattern for the Robinson Valentine wedding gown were donned for the more formal blessing.
