Nicky Hilton's fairytale wedding to take place in Kensington Palace
It looks like Nicky Hilton's wedding is shaping up to be the wedding of the summer. The fashion designer and her fiancé James Rothschild are rumoured to be tying the knot in the most glamorous of places, Kensington Palace.
The couple, who became engaged in August 2014, will celebrate their 10 July nuptials "at the palace's Orangery in front of hundreds of guests", according to the New York Post's Page Six.

The Orangery is located within Kensington Gardens and is licensed for civil weddings and allows for receptions on its terrace. It is also located next door to Prince William and Kate's apartment.
The bride, who will reportedly wear a bespoke Valentino wedding dress, alluded to her fairytale nuptials just last week when she celebrated her bridal shower.
Nicky shared photos of the "fairy-tale bridal shower", Held at Hillcrest Country Club in Los Angeles, on her Instagram page.

"Thank you for the most beautiful bridal shower," she wrote alongside a snap of a gorgeous table filled with floral arrangements and over 20 place settings.
Pride of place at the end of the table was a large fairy tale-style book , with the words inside reading: "Once upon a time, Nicky Hilton and James Rothchild's love story..."
Guests included her mum, Kathy Hilton, and Nicole Richie's mum, but sadly not Nicky's older sister, Paris, who revealed on her Instagram page that she had to be in Spain for work commitments.
Nicky looked stunning at her shower, wearing a white crochet dress paired with gold strappy sandals, and showing off her tan which she got during a weekend trip to Mexico.
In another picture she shared a group shot, writing: "Loved seeing these beautiful girls today!" and in another, she shared some of the funny presents that her friends gifted her during the shower.
Thirty-one-year-old Nicky and James, who is a British banker, first met in 2011 at the wedding of Petra Ecclestone and James Stunt in Odescalchi castle.

Michelle Keegan shares first post-wedding photo from Dubai
After almost two weeks of silence on Instagram, Michelle Keegan has resurfaced with a picture that was worth waiting for. The brunette beauty, who is enjoying the second leg of her honeymoon with her new husband Mark Wright, shared the picture from the sunny climes of Dubai.
Showing that she was honeymooning in style, Michelle was pictured donning a flowing white maxi dress that clung to her svelte figure and complimented her radiant, glowing tan. The newlywed paired the slick number with gold jewellery, a matching gold clutch and metallic sandals.
"Arabian nights wearing white long Maxi from my @lipsylondon collection also available in black! #lipsylovemichelle xx," wrote the new Mrs Wright.

This was the first time that the 28-year-old had shared a photo on Instagram since days before her wedding. Michelle and Mark tied the knot on Sunday 24 May in a glamorous wedding that was covered exclusively by HELLO! magazine.
The lovebirds spent the first part of their honeymoon in the magical Maldives, where former TOWIE star Mark shared a couple of gorgeous snaps. Clearly proud to be called Michelle's husband, the Essex hunk posted a picture of his wife in a bikini, looking out to the sea.
Mark Wright couldn't be prouder to call the former Coronation Street actress his wife
"One of the boys just asked me if I wanted to go golf. My answer.... I'll stick with my view thanks..... Ladies and gents I give you #mrswright," wrote Mark.
The radio host is clearly loving this new chapter in his life, as can be seen from his comments accompanying another snap of himself watching the sun set. "Being a husband!! Such an amazing feeling!! Buzzing for the journey ahead!! @Maafushivaru_MV #maldives," wrote the 28-year-old, including the twitter handle of the luxury resort where the couple were staying.

It comes as no surprise that the couple returned to Dubai to celebrate part of their honeymoon. It was the same city where Mark and Michelle first set eyes on each other and where the TV personality proposed in September 2013.
The sweethearts also rang in 2015 in Dubai and Michelle recently returned a month before the wedding to host her hen do there. The Ordinary Lies actress even revisited the spot Mark got down on one knee to propose.
"I did go back to the exact same spot on the beach with some of the girls," Michelle has previously told HELLO! magazine. "I did a re-run of what happened and I showed them where Mark was when he proposed to me. It was nice for them to see it."

Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright jet to Dubai for second part of honeymoon
It's the city where they first set eyes on each other, where the bride celebrated her hen do and where Mark Wright proposed to his now wife Michelle Keegan – so it comes as no surprise that the newlyweds chose to celebrate part of their honeymoon in Dubai.
The couple, who married in a highly emotional ceremony on Sunday 24 May in Suffolk, kicked off their post-wedding trip in the Maldives.

But before returning home to start married life, the Wrights couldn't resist a quick stopover in Dubai to end their magical trip.
It wasn't long before the former Coronation Street star and her ex-TOWIE beau were spotted enjoying a night out in Dubai. One Twitter fan, Taylor Redman, had her photo taken with the lovebirds, who looked more than happy to pose for the picture.

— Joshua Wright (@Joshwright4) June 3, 2015The couple also chose to spend Michelle's birthday in the glamorous city, where they were joined by Mark's younger brother Josh, who acted as best man at the wedding.
"Happy birthday @michkeegan hope you have a good one. See you on the beach #cocktails," Josh wrote on Twitter. He had also posted a previous photo from the airport and captioned it, "The start of another trip to Dubai #airport".

Apart from spending quality time with his brother and new sister-in-law, Josh also bumped into Manchester City player Frank Lampard and his long-term girlfriend Christine Bleakley.
"Too many words to try and describe this man but it was a pleasure to be in his company last night #legend," Josh wrote alongside a snap of himself with the athlete.
Michelle Keegan's wedding hair: get the look
Michelle Keegan's thick and flowing hair has long been the envy of many women, and on her wedding day the brunette beauty was nothing short of sensational. Michelle, whose wedding to DJ and radio host Mark Wright was covered exclusively by HELLO! magazine, opted to have two hairstyles on her big day.

As any meticulous bride would do, Michelle scoured through different looks before deciding what worked best with her exquisite wedding gown.
With the help of her hairdresser Lisa Laudat, the Ordinary Lies actress chose a half-up half-down style that completed her breathtaking image.

Michelle Keegan looked at her favourite hair icons for inspiration
"Michelle and I had discussed the wedding hair by pulling inspiration from our favourite hair icons," Lisa told HELLO! magazine in an exclusive chat.
"Up until the last minute it could have been up or down, but after seeing the dress I suggested soft luxe waves framing her face, with her hair gently pulled back on the top to create height and structure.
"I achieved this look by applying Aveda's Phomollient Styling Foam and then doing a gorgeous blow out to keep the hair looking glossy for the all day celebrations. I then sectioned off the hair, backcombed at the root and pinned everything in to place all ready for the veil which completed the look."
For the reception the new Mrs Wright left her hair down
For the reception at Hengrave Hall in Suffolk, Michelle removed her dreamy, delicate Italian veil from Peter Langner, so she could dance the night away and greet her 200 guests as the new Mrs Wright.
She also changed into a 1950s style dress – so that Mark, a former Strictly Come Dancing contestant, could easily perform "the lift" during their Dirty Dancing-inspired routine.
Michelle was keen to spend as much time with her family and friends as possible, so only slipped away for a bit to have her hair retouched.
"I unpinned the hair, spraying a little of the Bumble and bumble Thickening Spray before whizzing through each sections using my T3 wand tongs," revealed hairdresser Lisa.
"Michelle didn't want to spend too much time away from the party so I had to be super quick! I under-dressed the hair by pulling gently through with my fingers and then after a quick spritz of Elnett hairspray, off she ran back to the party."

Princess Madeleine of Sweden shares wedding photo on two-year anniversary
June is shaping up to be an especially exciting month for Princess Madeleine of Sweden. The heavily pregnant royal is due to welcome her second baby with husband Chris O'Neill any day now, and on Monday the couple also celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary.
Taking to Facebook to mark the special occasion, Madeleine posted a sweet throwback photo of herself and Chris gazing into each other's eyes.
"Today we celebrate 2 wonderful years as a married couple and we are excited for what the future will bring us!" Madeleine, who already has one daughter Princess Leonore, fittingly captioned the snap.

The beautiful royal was the epitome of a fairytale bride on her June wedding day back in 2013, when she wore a breath-taking bespoke Valentino gown. Italian designer Valentino Garavani had stepped out of retirement specifically to create Madeleine's dress, an act he called "an honour" for a "beautiful" bride.
Both the princess and the fashion maestro were thrilled with the final result – a pleated silk organza gown with appliquéd Chantilly lace that showed off Madeleine's enviable figure.

Months have passed since that sunny day in Stockholm, and Madeleine and Chris are now expecting their second baby. When the little prince or princess arrives, as the couple have not revealed the gender of their baby, the couple will be looking after two children under the age of two, much like their English counterparts Prince William and Kate.
Madeleine's most recent appearance took place over the weekend, when she stepped out to celebrate Sweden's National Day with her family.
She has been temporarily residing in Stockholm – the city where she plans to give birth – for the past few months, having recently moved from New York where Chris worked as a businessman and a banker.

When the lovebirds and their daughter become a family of four, Madeleine plans to move her brood to London in the autumn. The 32-year-old lived in the capital when she was a teenager and is said to have loved it because she could be "anonymous".
The move would also make sense for Chris, as he often travels to London for business.
Because of the princess' imminent due date, it is not yet known whether Madeleine will attend the wedding of her older brother Carl Philip. The prince is set to marry his model fiancée Sofia Hellqvist on Saturday 13 June in the palace's royal chapel.
