I do think that the Americans as a rule are extremely over the top and the Obamas inaugural ball was no exception.
Yes Michelle Obama the new first lady looked stunning at the ball and it was all down to the amazing Grecian gown she was wearing which looked as though it had been designed for fairytale castle weddings It was designed by a young 26 year old up and coming Taiwanese US designer who is believed to have sewn the dress all by himself. He lives in New York and launched his line in 2006.
It is said that Wu had a somewhat secretive request from a mysterious special customer just after his fashion show back in September.The dress had a bodice which is fitted, gathered skirt with organza floral appliqu©s and was studded with Swarovski crystals.
Jason Wu the young designer, was noted as saying The dress is soft, feminine but powerful. My main aim was to convey all that in a dress. I had an inkling who it was for, but didn’t want to think about it!
It is said Barack Obama was worried before the inauguration ball about his ability to dance! He was reported to be really worried about stepping on his wife’s toes. He need not have worried though, it all went to plan they looked the perfect couple with him in a tuxedo and white tie and his wife in her full length ivory gown.
When Barack Obama saw his wife he turned to the cheering crowd asking Firstly, how good looking is my wife? Their first dance even used a very popular first dance wedding day song entitled At Last . It seems fitting that Michelle Obamas dress looked just like a wedding dress and to be truthful they really could not have chosen a better wedding day venue either! Lets just hope that this signifies a fresh new beginning not only for them but for the United States as a whole. If you need a fairytale venue, visit this castle hotel.
