Ms. Waight Keller’s timeless class and aesthetics as well as impeccable tailoring made the bride choose one of her creations.

The British talent has previously served as the creative head of two globally influential fashion houses – Pringle of Scotland and Chloé. Ms. Waight Keller closely worked with Meghan on the design.

The dress, made of silk cady, is the perfect example of a timeless minimal elegance that the iconic House of Givenchy represents. It features a graphic open bateau neckline that beautifully frames the shoulders and elegantly accentuates the waist.

Meghan wished to have all 53 countries of the Commonwealth incorporated in her journey, so Clare Keller designed a very special veil, embroidered with flowers, representing the distinctive flora of each Commonwealth country, united in one beautiful composition.
