What They Wore: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Royal Wedding


It’s Royal Wedding Saturday, and unless you live under a rock, you must have seen photos of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry marrying in Windsor today. Though many were betting on Stella McCartney to be the wedding dress designer, Meghan wore an elegant dress designed by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy paired with the Order of Splendor tiara, on loan from the Queen, as well as a pair of understated Cartier diamond earrings. She looked lovely, Harry looked emotional, and they both looked so in love! Congrats, you crazy kids!

Now on to the guests…my personal best dressed was Amal Clooney in a stunning yellow Stella McCartney dress and that chic matching veiled hat. Hands down my fave look from the wedding. Princess Diana’s niece Kitty Spencer looked stunning in a veiled green fascinator, floral dress, and a velvet clutch. Meghan’s close friend, Canadian Jessica Mulroney looked lovely in royal blue, and was repping Canada in a pair of Birks earrings. Carey Mulligan wore a beautiful floral frock, but wore a barely visible fascinator…not sure if that’s a faux pas when it comes to Royal Weddings, but I loved her look nonetheless. I was a little disappointed by Victoria Beckham’s gloomy look…I think she looks great in colour and it would’ve been great to see her in something more cheerful.

Windows 7 Royal Tea

Last month, the lovely Jen of She Does The City, hosted a Royal-Wedding-themed tea party at Windsor Arms. Between the yummy scones, the whimsical hats, the delicious tea, and the Wills+Kate hoopla talk, we watched a Windows 7 presentation, showcasing some cool new features that we, as bloggers, could definitely put to good use.

One of my favorites was the Windows 7 + Windows Live Photo Editor, which allows for quick and easy editing of photos (which I have to do on a daily basis), one click photo sharing from Windows Live photo gallery to Facebook, Flickr, or SkyDrive, and of course, the no-Photoshop-needed crop feature (which helps fuse several photos together to create one perfect image, without much effort). Basically, the tools we were shown are for the lazy bums/busy bees out there…the ones that can’t be bothered (or have no time) to spend too much time editing photos, or uploading them. And as I definitely fall into one of those categories, Windows 7 + Windows Live photo editing will definitely come in handy.

Princess Bride

With all of this Royal Wedding hoopla, I was starting to feel like that girl in the photo above – enough already! But this morning, when I woke up to a flurry of Royal Tweets, I felt strangely intrigued. On my couch, in my pjs, I watched as Kate, in her custom-made wedding gown by Sarah Burton (of McQueen, of course), and Wills, in his Disney-prince costume uniform made their way to the Buckingham Palace in their fairy-tale carriage – Prince and Princess, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Real-life fairy-tale unfolding in front of our eyes.

And even though Kate Catherine is not necessarily a style icon in my books, I think she looked elegant, poised, and regal on her wedding day…not to mention glowing and so very beautiful. Isn’t it crazy how calm and composed she looked throughout the whole thing, considering how many people got to witness (and scrutinize) every detail of her transformation into Princess William of Wales? Me, I would probably trip on my train, sweat profusely while walking down the isle, flub my lines, and as a grand finale, I would throw up all over the priest. Not everyone is born to be a princess.

Did you wake up extra early today? Stay up all night? Or tried to avoid the craziness that is the Royal Wedding? What was your favorite moment? What did you think of the dress? Dish all about it in the comments.
