The Veil

Every single thing about Meghan's veil, which was designed as a tribute to the 53 members of the Commonwealth and was paired with the Queen Mary tiara (the bride's second choice headpiece), was perfect. It was held by Jessica Mulroney's seven-year-old twins when Meghan walked down the aisle.

In true Meghan Markle style, this independent woman walked part of the way down the aisle by herself. Then, she was met halfway by Prince Charles, who took her arm and ultimately gave her away to his son.
