The dress was very plain. Almost too plain I thought, and I like plain! Not a big fan of it.

 

Well I would give my right cankle to look fat like that!!!!!

 

I agreed to the breathless quote but I think it was me who was breathless. I'd say breathtaking when it came to Meghan, and I agree she looked very happy indeed.

She obviously could have had anything she wanted, I'm assuming, when it came to the dress but perhaps it was a conscious decision on her part to pick the simple design as a message. My father's opinion was that it was a waste of money, when there was so much poverty in the world, when we were discussing the wedding the other day. Maybe something similar was going through her own mind or perhaps because it was her second wedding she thought it might be a bit ridiculous to carry on as if it was her first. Who knows but Harry thought she looked amazing and that's all that counts, now isn't it.

Oh, maybe she just liked the dress. There's that.

 

I don't know if this is all a load of crap or if there is some substance to it but people who are supposed to know thought that Meghan was consciously or unconsciously channeling her inner Audrey Hepburn who often wore Givenchy.

First they point to the neckline which was similar to the wedding gown worn by Hepburn in Funny Face in 1957.



Then they pointed to the Givenchy dress/veil that Hepburn modeled in 1964 for Irving Penn. Said the veil was almost identical





They said the same thing about Kate's gown when they remarked it was reminiscent of Princess Grace's.



People have too much time on their hands.

 

Well, I have to agree with you there. I heard a couple of commentators remark that the gown was timeless as well. I hate to be critical of any thing a royal bride wants to wear cause it's her day and all, but let's face it, like you said, some gowns stand up to the passage of time better than others. When I look back, that poofy confection they jacked Diana into has me shaking my head, lol.

 

I wasn’t either. AT ALL. but I tuned in at the end and now I wanna see the rest. Lmao

 

Ummm I meant breathtaking. Lmao

 

The tiara, I believe, was borrowed from Queen Mary's collection.
Meghan wore diamond earrings and bracelet from Cartier. Considering the simplicity of dress and the boat neck, I think I might have been tempted to add a sparkly necklace as well...but nothing overpowering as to take away from the tiara. Maybe a large solitaire.
