The clean lines of the bateau neckline, the sculpted bodice, and the flowing A-line silhouette accentuated Meghan’s natural beauty, while the three-quarter length sleeves added a touch of demure elegance. The fabric, a double-bonded silk cady, draped like a dream, lending an air of effortless grandeur to every step she took.
However, it was the veil that truly stole the show. A testament to Meghan’s love for detail and symbolism, the five-meter-long silk tulle veil was adorned with intricate floral embroidery representing the 53 countries of the Commonwealth. Each flower was meticulously crafted, a delicate tribute to the diverse nations she embraced as a member of the Royal Family.
