Royal wedding bouquets are often
overlooked but they are often filled with significance. As well as
the myrtle that’s been a tradition since the time of Queen
Victoria, these posies are filled with blooms that nod to history
and highlight the romance that has brought a bride and groom
together. Here’s a look back at the floral choices made by some of
the House of Kent’s royal…
The flowers carried by the Duchess of
Cornwall on her wedding day, April 9th 2005, were filled with
personal touches that had their own place in her royal romance with
the Prince of Wales. For not only were the flowers in Camilla’s
posy highly significant, they had been…
It was a ground breaking and glamourous
royal wedding and the images of it remain as familiar now as they
have ever done. The world watched, enthralled, when Grace Kelly
married Prince Rainier III of Monaco on April 19th 1956. Her

The marriage of Queen Victoria and Prince
Albert is perhaps one of the most celebrated in royal history. Not
only were the couple young, rather good looking and desperately in
love, their union would become the bedrock of a new royal dynasty
that, in time, managed to weave…
While a royal wedding dress might grab
all the headlines with the almost obligatory tiara coming a close
second, no set of regal nuptials would be complete without a bridal
bouquet. We might not get round to admiring it until after our
fourth discussion about the wedding gown itself but the flowers
have their own part in every big royal wedding. That was no
different on February 2nd 2002 when…
Princess Eugenie has chosen traditional
bridal flowers for the bouquet she carried into St. George’s
Chapel, Windsor for her wedding to Jack Brooksbank. The Princess,
ninth in line to the throne, mostly stuck with nuptial shades of
cream but, as with the rest of her…
With just hours to go until they say ‘I
do’, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have shared more details
of the floral decorations for their wedding. And St. George’s
Chapel, Windsor, is coming over all autumnal for its second royal
wedding of 2018. The…
With just days to go until the second
royal wedding of 2018, it’s time to get very excited indeed about
all things bridal. All eyes will be on Princess Eugenie of York on
October 12th as she walks into St George’s Chapel, Windsor for her
marriage to Jack Brooksbank, and while the gown and tiara will be

royal nuptial…
