William and Kate's wedding cake, created by cake designer Fiona Cairns, will also be shown in the state dining room to complement the wedding dress exhibition, according to the Royal Collection.

The Duchess's gown featured lace applique floral detail and was made of ivory and white satin gazar, with a skirt that resembled 'an opening flower' with white satin gazar arches and pleats.

The dress's beautiful, intricate train measured nine feet.

Individual flowers were hand-cut from lace and hand-engineered on to ivory silk-tulle to create a design that incorporates the rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock.

Visitors can also view the 1977 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI used by Kate and her father Michael to travel to Westminster Abbey for the ceremony on April 29, and the 1902 State Landau carriage in which the newlyweds returned to the Palace.
