Obviously we couldn't let an event like this pass us by, so we of course have to go to London.
But first we have to help our viewers throw their own Royal Party! Today we shot our first segment of the season at the amazing Fairmont Pacific Rim. They always treat us like royalty at this hotel, and today was no different!

We even met Candice from the Savoy - we can't wait to have drinks at the American Bar next week on the Strand! And maybe stay in a super posh room :)

Todd, a mixologist extraordinaire, started us off with a classic Pimm's Cup #1 which happens to be one of my favorites. On April 29th, the Pacific Rim will serve their very own homemade homage to Pimm's: an oak barrel aged mix of gin, bitters and some house secrets to give the Royal cocktail a unique flavor.
If we weren't going to be in London, we would definitely be spending the night here! For only $319 you can stay in one of their gorgeous suites, view the Royal Wedding from their plush and private theatre, and, of course, drink Pimm's!
Next we talked to Elsa Corsi from Jeweliette who has become famous with her vintage inspired gorgeous jewellery. We felt like princesses wearing sparkly tiaras!
And finally no princess, or Wedding Belles, party is complete without beautiful gowns. Blush Occasions to the rescue!
We had to be ready for our photo shoot with Ellen at Hong Photography!
Not to mention all the cool Royal stuff I have been collecting! Fascinators from Miss Ruby Sue, a tea towel (but not the one your grandma had!) from Claudia Pearson, and 'I prefer Harry/William' necklaces from Tea Please.

If you can't come to London with us, or the Pacific Rim - don't fret!!!
Grab your closest gal pals, some of your best PJ's and head to your local liquor store for your very own bottle of Pimm's! In England, if you are throwing a Royal Wedding Street party and plan to serve Pimm's, the company will sponsor it! We'd love to know if they are honoring that across the Pond - want to try and find out?
Never made Pimm's? It's easy! All you need is a bottle of Pimm's (usually found near the gin), some sprite, ginger ale, lemon juice, and garnishes of cucumber, mint and orange. Urm, I tend to guess the amounts. But I usually put a tad more Pimm's than probably necessary. I have ended up under the summer table thanks to Pimm's!

And if you need that oh so important fascinator, you should be able to find them in your local accessory store. With Miss Middleton setting the trend, we're pretty sure they will be all around by the end of the year! If not, write to missrubysue@gmail.com and she will custom design one for you!
Of course, the most important part of watching the Royal Wedding is setting that darn alarm clock! The show starts at 1AM PST. Aubrey and I will be Facebooking from the streets - so feel free to ask us questions and send your comments as you watch the big event!!
Cheerio!
The Bride
PS And if you are in Victoria - GO TO THE EMPRESS! They have a Royal MONTH! Including a wonderful night with full English Breakfast and then a tea picnic on the lawns on Saturday to listen to the Queen's speech
