If you want to add a royal touch to your Charlotte North Carolina wedding nuptials, consider a few details inspired by the next royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle which is coming up in May of 2018. It is planned and hosted by the Windsors. It’s true that all May weddings this year, will have a month date in common with the Royal union of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The couple are rumored to tie the knot on May 19, 2018, and the mixture of their unique styles will mesh the crown’s traditions with their contemporary European and American lifestyles.
Don’t hesitate to join the royal couple by also using some of these traditional inspirations in adorning your wedding with a few basics. Travel and Leisure Magazine reminds us about the expected traditions we will see at the upcoming Windsor Castle event with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

What about the royal flower choices?
Flowers- Markle will likely walk down the aisle with a bouquet tradition dating back to Queen Victoria’s era. A princess bouquet is usually a white bouquet with a sprig of myrtle.
Photography information for the royal wedding:
Family photography- It’s been reported as a royal tradition to have a family photo taken at these types of gatherings, so I’m sure Harry and Meghan’s wedding will produce the same type of historical heirloom. A wedding is a once in a lifetime chance to capture everyone in an official family photo, while all are dressed up and present. Aunt Betty, Uncle Fester, and your world traveling or gypsy cousin Vincento will all be there in their Sunday best, so don’t miss this shot.
Your own royal wedding day and location:
Use these traditions to add a touch of royalty to your own special day. Your location with significant meaning or history could set the tone for a venue, such as one where your parents got married or a family church that is synonymous with other family members.
Arrival at the ceremony and the grand entrance:
The bride’s arrival or grand entrance into the church could replicate traditional style with a number of options like the musical bridal march, the bride being walked down the aisle and “given away” to the groom.
Flower children and ring bearers
Selecting family cherubs to assist in sprinkling flowers and delivering the rings are meant to capture the hearts and attention of the guests, preparing them to focus on the incoming bridal beauty.
Food choices and the wedding cake:
It is customary to offer food and a cake to wedding guests. Cake rituals can include two cakes to showcase the different tastes of the bride and groom, a cake with multiple layers and meaningful toppers to save for the 1st anniversary or future celebrations.
