Viewers got a sneak peek at Meghan’s wedding day look as she rode to the chapel alongside her mom, Doria Ragland. Flanked by page boys and bridesmaids, Meghan walked down the aisle of the 15th Century chapel.

Meghan’s wedding dress was simple and elegant. Pure and sculptural, in double-bonded silk cady with a wide boatneck and three-quarter sleeves, it hugged Meghan’s slender waist. Her five metre long veil assembled from silk tulle featured flora designed to represent the 53 countries of the Commonwealth.

Meghan dazzled in the Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau tiara, which she has loaned from The Queen. This bejewelled headpiece is rarely seen in public. Meghan’s hair was styled by Serge Normant, with make-up by long-time friend and make-up artist Daniel Martin. The look was paired back but elegant.

Meanwhile, the groom was dressed in the frockcoat uniform of the Blues and Royals, according to Kensington Palace.

Meghan’s bouquet was designed by florist Philippa Craddock and features flowers that Harry handpicked On Friday from his private garden at Kensington Palace. They were added to Forget-Me-Nots (chosen because they were Diana, Princess of Wales’s favourite flower) as well as sweet peas, lily of the valley, astilbe, jasmine and astrantia, and sprigs of myrtle. The latter is a royal tradition in bridal bouquets.
