7 Royal Wedding Trends To Use In Your Own Wedding

We’re still buzzing over the Royal Wedding between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry!

Their day was everything and more than we could have ever expected it to be. There is no shortage of wedding inspiration to take from their special day, but there are a few key details we think every bride should consider following. Take a look at these 7 Royal Wedding trends to use in your own wedding.

The Wedding Dress

There’s a huge debate over whether or not Meghan’s dress was glam enough for the biggest royal wedding event of the year, but the most important thing to note is that it was truly timeless and classic. Even more, it was exactly what Meghan wanted for her special day. Every bride should have a wedding dress that encapsulates her unique personality and wears something that makes them feel like a princess all through the day.

The Veil

Now, you can’t deny that Meghan’s veil was a huge factor in her overall wedding look. With her regal yet understated dress, it was the perfect addition to create a dramatic entrance. (Not to mention when Harry lifted it before their vows! Swoon!!!) So if you’re thinking about keeping your dress modest like Miss Markle, but still want that heartstring-pulling drama, take some time to choose the perfect veil to complete your look.

A Handpicked Bouquet

This has to be one of the sweetest parts of the day! Meghan’s wedding bouquet was handpicked by Harry himself! We’ve seen notes on the bottom of shoes and handwritten letters, but this is another thoughtful way to get the groom involved on one of the most important bridal accessories of the day.

Making A Speech

Speeches don’t have to be for the men! Making a speech is a great way for both bride and groom to give thanks and share their thought on the day.

Unique Cake Flavours

Forget vanilla and chocolate! Add some pizzaz to your wedding flavours like the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did with their lemon and elderflower wedding cake. It may be different, but chances are your guests will enjoy a deviation from the norm.

Embracing Cultures & Traditions

We witnessed plenty of firsts with Meghan and Harry’s nuptials, and why not?! Your wedding day is the ideal place to show your appreciation for your heritage as well as embracing those of your new spouse.

Snazzy Guest Attire

Who else feels the need to up their wedding guest wardrobe after seeing all the glam celebs arriving on the day?! I sure do, and why not dress your best to help celebrate the union of two loved ones. We’ll get our fascinators ready for the next one.
