Meghan Markle's wedding dress was designed by Clare Waight Keller, and her bridesmaids' dresses were also created by the same designer. The six young bridesmaids, aged between 3 and 7, wore high-waisted ivory silk radzimir dresses with puffed sleeves and double silk ribbon bows at the back. The dresses were designed with pockets and pleated skirts to give a relaxed silhouette.

Clare Waight Keller, the artistic director of Givenchy, was chosen by Meghan Markle to design her wedding dress because she wanted to highlight the success of a leading British talent. Markle admired Waight Keller's elegant aesthetic and relaxed demeanour. The designer is known for her work with influential fashion houses such as Pringle of Scotland and Chloé.

The bridesmaids' dresses were designed to have the same timeless purity as Markle's dress, with the same focus on small meaningful details and a minimal, classic style. The dresses were made in the Givenchy Haute Couture Atelier in Paris, reflecting the designer's expertise and attention to detail.

The young bridesmaids' outfits were completed with flower crowns, carefully selected by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The flowers were chosen to include some of Princess Diana's favourites, creating a special connection to the royal family. The bridesmaids also wore monogrammed white leather Aquazurra shoes, a thoughtful gift from Markle, personalised with their initials and the wedding date.
