265079 Embellishment-Free Gowns Meghan chose British designer Clare Waight Keller from Givenchy to craft her exquisite gown that made headlines for its simplistic style and tailoring. Waight Keller has revealed the gown took 3900 hours to complete and was a close collaboration between herself and Meghan. The aim was a “modern, fresh design” made from double bonded silk cady which featured three-quarter sleeves, a sculpted waist and a soft round train supported by a triple-silk organza underskirt.

265080 Bateaux Necklines The flattering neckline of Meghan’s dress was one of our favourite details. It is one of the most flattering necklines for a bridal gown because it typically adds an easiness to the gown silhouette and helps accentuate nipped tailoring at the waistline. This particular neckline was also a perfect match for Meghan's easy updo, incredible tiara and epic veil.

265076 Veils Ask any bridal designer and they will tell you to wear a veil on your wedding day. They add an instant dreaminess to your look and honestly, there will never be another time in your life to wear such an accessory. Meghan’s breathtaking 16-foot long veil, which featured hand-embroidered flowers from the 53 commonwealth countries, proves this point entirely. The veil is now officially the hottest and hautest bridal accessory.

265078 Bandeau Headpieces Meghan’s chosen tiara was the dazzling Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau, which was made in 1932 but features a detachable centre brooch dating back to 1893. Her style choice was impeccable as it created a modern princess vibe due to its sleek profile.

265083 Meaningful Flowers Philippa Craddock created the most incredible florals for the royal wedding. The thing we loved most was how they were filled with so much sentiment. White garden roses were Diana’s favourite, as were the forget-me-nots picked by Harry himself to include in Meghan’s bouquet. What an amazing way to add sentiment and a personal touch to your wedding day?!

265084 Amplified Everyday Beauty Meghan looked like Meghan on her wedding day and we adored that. Her easy-breezy look was created by Serge Normant and featured a neat bun paired with a centre part and Meghan’s signature wispy bangs. Makeup artist Daniel Martin created Meghan’s signature glowy skin (with freckles on full display!), smokey bronze eyes with fluttery lashes and peachy pink lips.

265074 The Mini Bridal Party Harry and Meghan had 10 wee ones in their bridal party and they certainly made for some incredible moments and photobombs. The darling squad added instant charm to the day and if you have the right kids for the job (and parents to wrangle), why not follow Meghan's lead with a mini squad of your own?!

265082 A Sexy Second Dress For her nighttime reception, Meghan turned up the heat with her wedding look, choosing a Stella McCartney halter gown with serious red carpet sizzle. Her two looks were spot on for her style and impeccable in their contrast to one another. Don’t be afraid to get a little more daring for your second dress choice.

265075 Non-Traditional Wedding Photos Harry and Meghan decided to mix up the royal wedding traditions when they hired fashion photographer Alexi Lubomirski to snap the official pics. From what we’ve seen, he’s managed to perfectly capture the light and love between these two just as he did for their engagement photos. We love how he truly captured moments between the couple -- spontaneous and spirited is the new candid wedding photo vibe.
