Registry Office Wedding Dress - Finding The One
Planning
Is anyone else feeling a little sad this morning? Post wedding blues are one thing, but post Royal Wedding blues have completely floored us. What a wedding guys! WHAT a wedding!!! As expected, Harry and Meghan's big day was gorgeous to look at, but I don't think any of us realised it would be quite so moving and poignant. There were so many moments from the big day that we loved such as the dress and flowers. There were moments that literally moved the world to tears, it felt like a global celebration of love and there's nothing more magical than that. Here are five things we've taken to heart from the Royal Wedding that we think you, as Brides-to-be, should too...
#1 Make your ceremony personal
#2 There will always be family drama
#3 Just be you
Meghan Markle wore a Givenchy Wedding Dress that suited her style and the occasion
Never lose sight of your own style when choosing your dress. I know we don't all have dresses made for us by Claire Waight Keller for Givenchy, but just like Meghan, your wedding dress should make you feel like a million dollars. Claire designed the gown with Meghan's style in mind - modern and fresh. The wedding dress was meant to not only represent Meghan as a person and make her feel incredible, but also reflect the grandness of the occasion. The fabric is a double silk caddy which gives shape and helped to create those gorgeous clean lines. Don't overlook the power of symbolism in making your look completely personal too, the trim of Meghan's 3m wide x 5m long veil was embroidered with the flower of every country in the Commonwealth, along with Wintersweet, which grows in the grounds of Kensington Palace in front of Nottingham Cottage, and the California Poppy, the State flower from Meghan's place of birth, California. Making her veil not only look beautiful, but also a strong statement of the things that are important to her and Harry, a compelling and thought provoking touch.#4 When it comes to flowers, more is more...
#5 A statement car is always a good idea
Meghan Markle chose a second wedding dress for the evening by Stella McCartney
If budget allows, book the car. Harry and Meghan looked like total movie stars when they emerged from their Windsor Castle lunch dressed to the nines and drove into the sunset in an E-Type Jaguar. Meghan wore a slinky halter neck gown from Stella McCartney, along with a stunning aquamarine ring that belonged to Harry's late mother, Princess Diana. Like many moments from the day it'll go down in history and will have made for THE BEST wedding photographs.
But most importantly, Meghan and Harry most definitely had their day, their way. This was a wedding day that reflected the couple's personalities, both as individuals and together. It's a wedding we'll remember forever - magical, inspiration and full of love. Huge congratulations to this gorgeous couple for reminding us what it's all about - love is the way.
