Meghan Markle's wedding dress remained a secret until the ceremony itself, which took place on May 19. The dress and veil for the royal bride were created by the famous brand Givenchy. The wedding ceremony of Prince Harry and Markle was the most anticipated event, millions of people watched it live.
In the documentary “Queen of the World,” which can be seen in September 2019, the Duchess of Sussex shares the secrets of her wedding look.
What and why did Megan sew on her veil?
The secret of Markle's veil lies in a small piece of blue fabric sewn onto the veil by the bride herself. According to the old English tradition, the outfit should contain something new, old and blue. If these 3 conditions are met, it is believed that the life of the newlyweds will be successful.
The Duchess took into account every detail, although she had to think about how she could add a piece of blue fabric to a snow-white outfit.
Resourceful Megan decided to hide a barely noticeable piece of fabric in her veil.Thus, she fulfilled all the conditions: a completely new dress, a diamond tiara created in the 30s, and blue fabric.
Even the creators of the outfit had no idea about the little secret of the royal bride's veil. The small piece of blue fabric is a piece of the blue dress Meghan wore on her first date with Harry. The prince was deeply touched when he learned about this little secret.
The process of creating a 5-meter creation
The creation of the veil took a long time: seamstresses in a Parisian workshop spent 500 hours making it. The surprise for Harry was that 53 flowers were embroidered on the veil, which symbolize the countries of the royal Commonwealth of Nations.
Megan felt it was very important to pay due attention to these details. Harry became a youth ambassador in the community and the decision of his future wife made him happy. The length of the veil was 5 meters.
The seamstresses were instructed to wash their hands every 30 minutes so as not to damage the fabric. Flowers and ears of wheat are symbols of the commonwealth and the state in which the bride was born. Each flower was hand embroidered. The craftsmen used expensive silk threads.
