Today (May 19) marked the Royal Wedding of H.R.H. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The entire fashion media were all eyes on the coverage to see that first glimpse of the dress. There has been a lot of chatter and speculation about what the American actress would wear, from both designer and style of dress, and we sure did wait a while until those questions were answered.

Both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle arrived at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle (separately) to major reception of support, and when she stepped out of the car, I was just in awe. She looked absolutely breathtakingly beautiful.
She had the wow factor, from the glow and permanent smile to the details of her bridal gown. Her gown was designed by Clare Waight Keller, that featured a boat neckline, midi sleeves and a very long train. The gown was truly spectacular, and extremely elegant – not at all what I was expecting. Opting for a chignon hairstyle, the bride also wore the traditional veil that had lace trim detail to match the train along with a sparkling diamond-encrusted tiara from Queen Mary, and minimal jewellery.

Their wedding day was truly blessed with sunshine and blue skies, surrounded by amazing floral decor. St. George’s Chapel was adorned with huge wedding flowers and arches, attended by 600 guests. The ceremony, which was broadcasted live and which I watched from start to finish, was beautiful.
