And some did try to make remarks about what she shouldn’t wear based on that when the dress was speculated. Or are you talking about another standard?
Hmmm, that’s an interesting perspective. Because if we are talking about what’s appropriate for second marriage in the old time, she went completely opposite.
I have to agree. The evening wedding gown was right on to express her individuality, her style and actually it was more a design suitable for a evening party or gala than to be an actual wedding gown.
After a couple of days musing over the entire look Meghan presented in her wedding dress, I've come to realize that the overall picture of what she expressed as she glided down the aisle towards Harry was, if I had to pin a label on it, one of humility. She wasn't dressed in a "look at me" kind of way but rather a picture of simplicity that stated "I have come to give myself to you" and mirrored the wedding vows she took. For this to actually have more meaning, I think that's why she included wearing the blusher. That way, not only did the tiara remain kind of "hidden", but the first person that actually looked at her face straight on was Harry. His face said it all.
It might sound pretty fanciful and romanticizing things but some things don't hit you until you think about them for a while.
First I want to say I also am no fan of veils being so much longer than the train, maybe a little bit longer but not as much as Meghan had it. But the symbolism she had sewn into the veil was a wonderful and beautiful gesture.
The way I look at it is that you can't separate the dress from the veil. And that's why they display the veil with the dress at exhibitions. The veil is part of the dress. Especially when the veil is the a showstopper like that. I'd shutter to think what it would look like to pair it with an normally impressive dress. It was quite classic and the way it came together at the bottom was quite marvelous. I will always have that image of Meghan walking up the West Steps and you can see the outline of her dress under that veil. It was simply breathtaking. It'd be really nice for a bride that doesn't get a veil quite like that to add some embroidery and beading onto the dress though. BUT I'M SO GLAD THERE IS NO LACE!
Eh...I completely disagree. I don't think a more elaborate dress would have been too much. But I don't want to keep going around and around about it.
The dress does nothing for me, but I'm sure Meghan loves it and at the end of the day that's all that matters.
Actually, I think she took the idea of the train from the Queen's train, light and ethereal.
