Modern Royalty: Wedding Dresses Inspired by the Royal Engagement

Tips and TrendsWedding Inspo | December 3, 2017

We were positively glued to our televisions for Prince William and Kate Middleton’s 2011 wedding, but there’s something extra intriguing about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s engagement. These two lovebirds get to have a little more fun with their spring 2018 vision (we’re voting for less procession, more line dancing? Nix the bureaucrats, invite the… wedding puppies?!), and (thusly, fingers crossed!) the future Duchess of Sussex can indulge in a little unexpected flair for her bridal look. So, without further ado, we’ve created a gallery of royal wedding dresses that we think would be perfect for Meghan’s timeless-yet-captivating vibe, from fabulous princess silhouettes to glamorous Gatsby embellishments. Head to an Authorized Retailer to create your fairytale-ready look today!
