It was a lot of fun watching the wedding with Dustin because he didn’t know much about the Royal family, so I got to educate him on all things Royal 🙂
And after watching all of the pomp and circumstance and not really knowing anything about Meghan Markle, I’ve now become obsessed with researching her and finding out who she was before Harry. She’s actually pretty interesting and it’s also been fun binging Suits!
Guests
Just like I did with William and Kate’s wedding, I woke up early enough to watch some of the guests arrive. The British sure do know how to dress for a wedding! Now looking back at my own, I think it would have been really fun to add a note on the invitation about hats being welcomed!
This is Diana’s brother and his 2nd wife, and man, she looks great in purple! I’ve never thought about purple being a brunette’s color, but it really is. If you’re brunette, start wearing purple now because it looks amazing on this lady!
Amal Clooney is ALWAYS stylish. I loved this dress and hat on her–the fit was impeccable. Now, I could not pull off this color, but she definitely does with her skin tone and hair color.
Kitty Spencer, Diana’s niece, looked amazing, too. Again y’all, the British can dress for a wedding! I loved the green on her and her small fascinator works perfect with the print on this dress. Because the print is so overpowering, she did great wearing a small fascinator.
Pippa Middleton is gorgeous but I was not a fan of this dress. I actually think it looks pretty on her waist up, but the pleats are not cute.
James Blunt’s wife killed it in this embroidered dress and coordinating fascinator!
How many of y’all had predictions on what Meghan’s dress would look like? 🙋 I didn’t think she wold wear lace at all–it just doesn’t seem like her–but I was not expecting the boat neck. I liked the simplicity of the dress but wish it were a little more fitted in the bodice.
I actually gasped when I saw this live. The veil is AMAZING and I loved it even more after I read the story about the design of it. I loved that she had her two page boys carry her veil, too.
#perfection
The florals on the archways inside and outside the church were really impressive. I’m sure her entire flower budget cost more than my entire wedding (because flowers are expensive!), but I’d say it was worth it after seeing how dramatic it made the church without being too much….if that makes sense.
So sweet!!!
Was it just me or did anyone feel bad for the people who had to sit behind those arches? I don’t even know if they could really see anything going on during the ceremony!
I love this photo! I loved watching them ride in the carriage to Windsor and it’s so neat to have a little peak into the carriage (i.e.: the hand-holding)
Meghan’s mom was the real MVP of the day. Here we’re got a single mom who had to sit alone during the ceremony, who looked to be without any family in attendance, and who is just an average middle class American watch her daughter marry into British Royalty. And she looks so pretty in that color!
I was not expecting the halter neckline but now I don’t want her to wear anything different! She knocked it out of the ballpark with this dress, and Harry doesn’t look too bad himself ha!
I know I keep saying “I love…” but there are so many things about this wedding that I loved! It was so sweet and sentimental that Meghan wore one of Diana’s rings, and the blue was an unexpected pop of color with her dress. I’m sure Meghan can wear a potato sack and still pull it off effortlessly. She also makes me want to figure out how to wear my hair in a messy-like bun.
Did you wake up early to watch the wedding? Your thoughts?
