I finally found a good photo of the embroidery on the veil. <http://meghansmirror.com/royal-style/royal-wedding/meghan-markle-wedding-ce remony-dress/> http://meghansmirror.com/royal-style/royal-wedding/meghan-markle-wedding-cer emony-dress/
After enlarging and enhancing the photo I can confidently suggest that the embroidery was tamboured with some needle applique as well. The photo clearly shows the predominance of chain stitch in the stems and lots of looping and filling work which can all be done with a tambour hook. The applique may have also been tamboured or done with a needle. This makes perfect sense as tambouring is the fastest process and in order to research, then design the flowers of all the Commonwealth countries to fill the circumference of the royal length veil, it was the best method to employ. It has been said that the dress and veil, including the embroidery was done in the Givenchy workrooms in France. Tambour has always been an important part of Haute Couture embellishment.
