The new Middleton arms include three acorns representing Catherine and her siblings, the gold represents her mother Carole whose maiden name is Goldsmith, the red and blue stand are traditional British colors and the divide down the middle between the two color "tones" is a pun on the family surname. For Catherine, the arms include a bow to denote she is an unmarried daughter. After the wedding, her arms will be impaled with Prince William's.
