Royal wedding dress goes on show at Buckingham Palace
- Published

The dress worn by the Duchess of Cambridge at her wedding is going on show to the public at Buckingham Palace.

Six different types of lace was used in the dress by designer Sarah Burton. The embroiderers washed their hands every 30 minutes to keep the lace looking perfect!

The Duke and Duchess's eight-tiered wedding cake has been reconstructed for the exhibition during Buckingham Palace's annual summer opening.

This is the first cut made by the royal couple! William and Kate have kept the top tiers - it's a tradition to serve wedding cake at the christening of your first child.

This Cartier 'halo' tiara was lent to Kate Middleton by the Queen.

The Duchess of Cambridge's parents got these diamond earrings specially made for the wedding.

A replica of the royal wedding bouquet. The exhibition is open from 23 July to 3 October.
