With the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, it's hard not believe that love is in the air. On the grey shores of the UK, the mood has been lifted; with people flocking to the streets clad in Union Jacks and bizarre royal wedding memorabilia.

For the past few months, the entire world has been gripped by royal fever - and today saw the couple finally tie the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Windsor. Everyone who is anyone was in attendance, with David Beckham, Serena Williams, Tom Hardy and Oprah being just a few highlights on the star-studded line-up of guests invited to the momentous occasion.

It was hard not to shed a tear at the ceremony, which is being described as one of the most important occasions in royal history. Harry and Meghan have been heralded as the couple in charge of bringing the Royal Family into the 20th century. Whether it's the fact that Meghan is a person of colour, that she walked herself down the aisle or that the couple had a black reverend and choir; the wedding felt a lot more inclusive and representative when compared to the often archaic and outdated nature of the Royals.

That said, the ceremony still had the traditional "fairytale" feel to it, with it being hard not to assume that this would be the dream wedding for the majority of people across the planet. And, nowhere was this notion more encompassed, than when Harry finally set eyes on his bride in her wedding dress.

Meghan wore a Givenchy dress which was designed by Clare Waight Keller - the first female director of Givenchy. The two met last year and Meghan chose Ms Keller due to her "elegant aesthetic" and "relaxed demeanour."

Caroline Arthur, a luxury wedding dress designer, described the dress as: "The neckline is beautifully cut and then there are two things happening with the seams. At the front, the shaping of the dress begins just at the bust point and continues all the way down into seams on the skirt.

"I'd describe the skirt shape as a tulip, so it's not exactly fitted on the hips, but it's slightly closer on the hips down to midway between your hip and your knee and at that point it then flares out.

"If you look at the back of the dress the seamlines are absolutely beautiful, you always need darting or a vertical seam at the back of the dress in order to get it to fit really nicely."

Whatever the design, Harry was clearly a fan of the dress and gushed praise on his wife as soon as he saw her. After Meghan part-walked her way down the aisle on her own she was greeted at the altar by Harry

After taking a minute to compose himself, Harry could be seen saying "You look amazing" to his bride. Unsurprisingly, Twitter went into meltdown at the heartwarming moment - with plenty of people overcome with emotion for the pair.
