Meghan Markle Stuns in Givenchy Wedding Dress and Cartier Jewelry
Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, made a grand entrance at her wedding to Prince Harry on May 19, 2018.
Her show-stopping outfit included a stunning tiara, veil, bouquet, and jewelry.
The Order of Splendour tiara, loaned to Meghan by Queen Elizabeth II, was the centerpiece of her wedding outfit.
The ornate headpiece was last worn by Princess Margaret in 1965 but was dusted off and shined up for Meghan's big day.
To complement the tiara, Meghan's jewelry was kept simple, featuring delicate diamond earrings from Cartier's gallantry Descartes range.
The 18k white gold studs were set with brilliant cut diamonds and surrounded by four semi-circles of equally sparkling smaller diamonds.

The value of the jewelry is only available on request from Cartier.
Meghan's veil, expertly held by tiny page boys, was five meters long and embroidered with a flower from each of the 53 Commonwealth countries.
Crafted by Givenchy, the same fashion house that designed her dress, the veil added drama and sentiment to Meghan's wedding look.
Prince Harry also added a personal touch to Meghan's bouquet, going out into the grounds of Kensington Palace himself to pick forget-me-nots, his mother Princess Diana's favorite flower.
The bouquet also included a sprig of myrtle in line with royal tradition.
Meghan's stunning bracelet, also from Cartier, was the Reflection Decartier bracelet, featuring 104 brilliant cut diamonds set in 18k white gold.
A similar one on Cartier's website would cost £136,000.
Her wedding ring, made from Welsh gold and gifted by Queen Elizabeth II, was crafted by jewelers Cleve and Company, who also made Meghan's engagement ring in 2017.
The bands were carried to St George's Chapel by Prince William, the best man.
Meghan's satin dress by Givenchy featured just six seams, shaping her delicately around the waistline.
The minimalist pure white gown had no lace and flowed effortlessly into a train that sat softly over an underskirt of triple silk organza.
The three-quarter length sleeves added a modern touch to the timelessly elegant dress.
Her bridal heels were silk Duchess satin shoes fashioned with a delicate point and an eye-watering six-inch high slender heel.
Based on a Givenchy refined pointed couture design, the shoes were fit for a princess.
In conclusion, Meghan Markle's wedding outfit was a stunning display of elegance and sentiment.
From the loaned tiara to the personal touches in her bouquet, every detail was carefully chosen to make her grand entrance unforgettable.
