Earlier today, Meghan Markle melted hearts in a bespoke Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy wedding gown for her royal nuptials, teamed with a five-metre-long veil featuring a unique flora from every Commonwealth country.
However, as we all know, a wedding celebration doesn't really start until the evening, when guests are invited to let their hair down, grab a bottle of prosecco and toast the loved ones with applause (and, of course, some classic Stevie Wonder).
For the evening's festivities, Markle changed into yet another bridal gown - this time a high-neck fishtail gown by Brit designer Stella McCartney.

The bride teamed her silk-crepe halterneck dress with Reflection De Cartier diamond and white gold earrings, white court shoes and a chic chignon.
And let's just say, she looked glorious.
McCartney was a natural choice for Markle, who like the Duchess is an advocate for female empowerment, while also championing sustainable fashion conversation - a subject close to the newlywed's heart.
In an April 2018 interview with The Guardian, McCartney, played down rumours that she was the mastermind behind Meghan’s dress.
'How many designers have you said that to today?' the 46-year-old designer quipped back at the reporter, clearly avoiding discussing the subject further.
Meanwhile, her husband Prince Harry changed out of his uniform for a black suit and bow-tie, making the couple look like the perfect Hollywood pairing.
The newly-appointed Duke and Duchess of Sussex were pictured leaving Windsor Castle to head to the final part of their wedding celebrations at Frogmore House. They drove themselves to the reception in style, sitting in a silver blue Jaguar E-Type Concept Zero, originally manufactured in 1968.
Approximately 200 friends and family have been invited to the evening reception at Frogmore House, which was where Harry and Meghan's engagement shoot took place.
Meghan's decision to wear a second dress on the day of her wedding follows in the tradition of Kate Middleton, who switched out of her lace Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen design for a romantic, ivory satin wonder with a furry stole and sweetheart neckline.
Now, all that remains is to do one thing - party!
