Meghan Markle Has Reportedly Decided on a Wedding Dress Designer
We have a very exciting development in Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's wedding planning (well, maybe): The bride appears to have landed on who will be making her gown for the big day.
The intel comes from Omid Scobie, a royal reporter and biographer. He told ABC News: "We have a wedding dress designer. Meghan flew in her close friend and bridal stylist Jessica Mulroney from Toronto to London last weekend where she attended a top-secret fitting at Kensington Palace with the designer."
A longtime friend of Markle's, Mulroney most recently attended the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games with the former actress and her mom. Over the years, they've been photographed together at a variety of events in Toronto, where the stylist is based and where Markle filmed Suits.
Though Markle and Mulroney have apparently dwindled down the list of contenders to a single brand, the actual dress hasn't been decided on. "They've tried on a number of different designs and are currently whittling it down to pick the best design for the day," Scobie added. The stylist reportedly spent four days at Kensington Palace with the bride-to-be, apparently chiming in on a variety of wedding-related decisions.
The last update we got from the Meghan Markle Wedding Dress Watch was a sketch submitted to Kensington Palace by Israeli designer Inbal Dror, back in December. Scobie didn't reveal the name of the chosen designer.
As far as what we can expect in terms of aesthetics, Scobie told ABC News that "Meghan expressed the desire to wear something simple and classy and very elegant." As a different anonymous source explained to E!, "Some of [Markle and Mulroney's] favorite design elements include embroidery and sleeves."
Let the speculation begin continue!
