Who created this unique bridal hairstyle for Kate? Her trusted personal hairdressers James Pryce and Richard Ward who started arranging her hair at 6.30am on the day of the wedding to create the distinctive cascading tresses.

The demi-chignon was held in place by the sparkling Cartier Halo tiara. Added Mr. Pryce ‘She knew what she wanted and that she wanted a romantic dress. That was the theme of the hair-do – she wanted it off her face and not around her shoulders because she wanted to show off the lace of her dress. Romantic was the keyword for the day.’
