Say 'I do' to a classic wedding gown like Meghan's by Clare Waight Keller
When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's big day finally arrived, the last time we were as excited for a white dress was the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding back in 2011.
Kate's Alexander McQueen gown has got to be one of the most copied styles of all time, and this breathtaking design is destined to be just as iconic.
We've all been speculating for months as to who Meghan might ask to create the all-important dress. Stella McCartney, Ralph & Russo, Burberry or perhaps Erdem?
She kept us all guessing right up until the last moment, and as she arrived at St. George's Chapel in Windsor it was announced that it's the work of British designer Clare Waight Keller, Artistic Director at Givenchy.
We love the elegant simplicity of this dress. The slight off-shoulder neckline, the dramatic train... it's perfection. When teamed with a veil, sparkly tiara and the best accessories a bride could ask for -- adorable flower girls and page boys -- it's a fairytale come true.
The dress is undoubtedly the biggest decision you'll make when you say 'I do' and the virtual high street is a great place to start your search, so browse the Royal wedding-inspired options we've got lined up for you in the edit below.
Speaking about the wedding on BBC Radio 1Xtra, Idris gushed: 'It was one of the mot beautiful three days of our lives. We spent a while prepping the wedding especially because of our entire family connection.
'We both have a big family and network of friends. We brought everyone together and had an amazing time.'
Idris and Sabrina met in Canada, where the former Miss Vancouver is from.
