Prince Harry and Meghan exchanged their vows at St. George's Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle at around 12 noon in front of 600 guests today, May 19th. After months of speculation on who is Meghan Markle's wedding dress designer, we finally laid our eyes on the dress this momentous day.
While many British designers were speculated to commission the dress, the Kensington Palace announced that it was Clare Waight Keller, the artistic director of Givenchy, that was tapped to create Meghan's wedding dress.
According to Givenchy, "True to the heritage of the house, the pure lines of the dress are achieved using six meticulously placed seams. The focus of the dress is the graphic open bateau neckline that gracefully frames the shoulders and emphasizes the slender sculpted waist."
Furthermore, "The lines of the dress extend towards the back where the train flows in soft rounds cushioned by an underskirt in triple silk organza. The slim three-quarter sleeves add a note of refined modernity."
As for the 16-foot veil, the romantic cathedral-length style represents the distinctive flora of each Commonwealth country united in one spectacular floral composition. In addition to that, Meghan paid homage to her home state by including a California poppy. The Queen loaned her the Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau tiara to keep the veil in place.
All we can say is, STUNNING!
