Meghan Markle's first date with Prince Harry came full circle in more ways than one.
Five years after the couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony, the Duchess of Sussex's wedding dress designer revealed how they honored the tradition of the bride including "something blue," sharing that a small portion of the dress Meghan wore on the couple's first date made it down the aisle, too.
"We basically sewed it into the hem of the wedding dress, so she was the only one that knew that it was there," Clare Waight Keller told Vanity Fair in article published Aug. 25. "It was a little blue gingham check."
As Clare noted, "It was the perfect personal memento that was secretly hidden inside the dress."
And as for Meghan's classic, minimal Givenchy gown, Clare—who was the first female artistic director of Givenchy when she designed the look—explained that Meghan wanted to "bring some simplicity and just timeless elegance" to her ensemble.
