AceShowbiz - Meghan Markle has reportedly chosen top designers Ralph & Russo to create her bridal gown for her royal wedding to Britain's Prince Harry. The former "Suits" actress proved she was a big fan of the label back in November, when she posed for the couple's official engagement portraits in a Ralph & Russo custom dress with a daringly sheer top and a full tulle skirt.
According to the Daily Mail, the bride-to-be will be walking down the aisle in one of the company's designs on 19 May. Reports suggest her dress for the big day will be hand-stitched and heavily-beaded, with a price tag of $150,000, paid for by Prince Harry's family.
Royal representatives have not commented on the news, but sources claim Meghan will be taking advantage of her special day and donning two gowns - one for the ceremony at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, England, which will be followed by a reception at St. George's Hall, while a second dress is expected to be worn for a private evening celebration with just close friends and family.
Meghan hasn't shared any details about her look for the extravagant event, but her close friend, actress Priyanka Chopra, who will be in attendance at the nuptials, recently suggested the bride-to-be had shed tears of joy after saying "yes to the dress".

Priyanka was quizzed about the royal wedding during an appearance on late night talk show "Watch What Happens Live" on Thursday, May 03, when she also admitted she had learned of the couple's engagement before it was made public, and revealed she was still working on finalising her own outfit for the big bash.
"I'm more stressed out about wearing a small hat!" she quipped of the traditional accessory for the ceremony.
