The Royal Wedding – Harry & Meghan’s Choices

Not long to go now…

We’re counting down to the royal wedding on Saturday, and there’s still so much speculation about the big day, which got us thinking – if Harry and Meghan had full control and no conventions to adhere to, what might they choose…? Would Meghan’s dogs have been there? Would they have chosen a romantic, outdoor venue? Or a  barefoot destination wedding on a beautiful beach? We’ve been wondering…

Dress

Royal tradition calls for white, with sleeves and probably a full skirt. But with Meghan being the style icon that she is, what might she have chosen, tradition aside?

We adore this figure hugging wedding gown from Suzanne Neville. With beautiful detail to add interest to the bodice, the smooth and sleek skirt is just so elegant.

Or how about this creation from Galia Lahav… Would Meghan have chosen illusion panels and beaded lace? The lace caped sleeves are so sweet and we love the open, low back. Maybe she’ll be able to incorporate some of her favourite looks into her own dress.

Flowers

We all know that Meghan’s favourite flowers are peonies, which are in season right now. But will she go for white, or add a pop of colour to her floral displays? We know there’ll be wildflowers, but what might Meghan have chosen to decorate her tables, given full control?

Bountiful blooming table runners?

Or pure, soft decoration with plenty of fresh greenery?

Stationery

Meghan has a talent for beautiful calligraphy, so we can imagine that the stationery will be fabulous. But, would she have chosen to write them herself?

Would she have gone simple, with a touch of rustic earthiness?

Or add a splash of colour with a metallic accent? Could this be close to the actual choice…?

Colour palette

With Harry’s military links, they may have chosen his colours anyway. And we know that Meghan loves simple, clean colours – blush pinks and natural blues. So maybe they’ll be able to include their choice of colour after all!

This beautiful blush place setting is so romantic, a beautiful choice for a sunny May day.

Gorgeous, dark navy is a favourite outfit colour for Meghan – would she choose it as their colour palette?

Theme

With Meghan’s passion for travel and the special place that Africa holds in their hearts, they may have chosen to include some of their own personal treasures, or include a travel inspired theme.

They could have used a travel theme in their wedding reception for designating places.

Or inspired their wedding cake with memories of their engagement.

So what will their big day look like, and how much of their personality will be evident throughout it? We hope that there’ll be plenty of Harry and Meghan’s passions on display and that they’ll be able to look back and see a perfect day, full of their favourite things.
