Forget about the Met Gala. This is the dress that will define the year. We asked local bridal boutique buyers what they imagine would be the perfect wedding dress for the future royal. Their predictions were surprisingly minimal and sleek.

“Love this Lea-Ann Belter dress for Meghan Markle. It’s modest, modern, and classic!”—Amy Hidalgo of Bridal Boutique of Lewisville

“The three-quarter length sleeve boat neck silk crepe gown with a full ‘A’ line skirt with pockets by the amazing Romona Keveza. It is modern yet classic and timeless.”—Cecilia Flores-Barrón of Warren Barrón

“The gown I would select for Meghan would be by Vera Wang. It would pay homage to her American roots by wearing a gown from an American design house. The macrame lace is light and beautiful for a spring wedding. The lace is unique so no one would compare it to any other royal wedding gown. The ‘V’ notch neckline with the lace shirt, princess-cut full skirt, and long train are classic and tasteful while also being a fashion statement. I would also have her wear the macrame lace gloves and a Cathedral-length lace-edged veil to complete the ensemble.” —Christina Plumlee of Stanley Korshak Bridal

“I would love to see Meghan Markle wear something more modern with a strong architectural feel. I loved seeing this trend finally make its way back with season even with a beautiful floral influence!”—Lindsay Nordyke of Patsy’s, A Bridal Boutique
