A royal wedding is so romantic! I couldn't wait to see Meghan Markle's wedding dress and makeup. I go up early and had the tea and scones ready! One big question my clients were all talking about was would Harry shave? No he didn't! Meghan looked lovely as she entered the church with her flower girls and page boys!  The other big question, the dress. Who would the designer be and what would it look like? The dress was a very regal understated boat neck Claire Waight Keller gown  perfect for Meghan's minimalist style in a modern shade of white.  Claire Waight Keller is a British designer and artistic director at Givenchy. Meghan chose to wear Queen Mary's tiara with her long veil. The makeup is always very important for me. Many of my brides may want to wear her look.

I'm thinking this would be an amazing nail color, right? A mix of nail polish colors is in order to mimic the various shades of purple in the violet flower. I frequently layer nail polish colors to create unique custom looks for my clients to match a special outfit or just to give them their own special nail polish color. I went to my Zoya nail polish collection and settled on Zoya Landon, Zoya Delaney and Zoya Leisel. Landon   A deep creamy purple with a hint of red.  Delaney ...
