Welcome the Duke and Duchess of Sussex! On May 19th, 2018 Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got married. The ceremony took place at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle at 12 pm. They became the 16th royal couple to celebrate their marriage at Windsor Castle since 1863.



At 7 pm the newlyweds had a second Royal Wedding reception at Frogmore House, half a mile away from Windsor Castle.



For the first reception at Windsor Castle, Meghan was wearing a Clare Waight Keller incredible gown for Givenchy. Markle met Waight Keller in early 2018 and "chose to work with her for her timeless and elegant aesthetic, impeccable tailoring, and relaxed demeanour," according to Kensington Palace.



The Duchess wanted to have all the UK Commonwealth countries with her. Waight Keller designed a veil representing the distinctive flora of the 53 of them united in one spectacular floral composition. And the result was AMAZING! More than 4 meters of silk tulle, with flowers embroidered in silk and organza.


As for the bouquet, the all white collection of flowers are blooms that Prince Harry picked himself including Forget-Me-Nots which were Diana, Princess of Wales’s favorite flower. So romantic!


For evening dress, Meghan chose a beautifully polished and structured sleeveless gown featuring a high neck accentuating her toned arms. “The Bride’s evening dress is designed by Stella McCartney and is a bespoke lily white high neck gown made of silk crepe,” the palace confirmed in statement. “The Bride is wearing shoes from Aquazurra made in silky satin, with nude mesh, with soles painted in baby blue.”


Something borrowed, something blue! The new Duchess wore a sizeable blue ring on her right hand, nicely matched by the blue soles of her white Aquazurra shoes. The ring maker, Asprey, confirmed that it was the 1997-designed ring for Lady Diana, and the Duke had given it to his new bride as a wedding gift. Nice gift, Prince Harry!


What we thought was a nice gesture to her now sister-in-law was Kate’s look. It is said she was wearing an Alexander McQueen dress she has worn at least twice before: for Charlotte's christening and the Queen's birthday. As entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes tweeted: “Absolutely nothing to see here! Focus on the bride!”


And, finally, the Queen, who was simply stunning in a lime green Stuart Parvin dress and coat and a matching Angela Kelly hat with sinamay and adorned with lace, crystals and pearls by Lucy Price as she greeted fans hoping to catch a glimpse of attendees arriving.


So, congratulations Duke and Duchess of Sussex! We wish you happiness and joy!!
