Queen Camilla has chosen several of the flowers that she had in her wedding bouquet for the floral decorations at Westminster Abbey for the Coronation.
Her Majesty carried a posy containing auriculas and lily of the valley at the Service of Blessing that followed her civil marriage in 2005. Both blooms will play a significant part in the floral decorations for the Coronation.
Both have been chosen as part of the ‘wildflower’ meadow that will adorn the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior for the service. The Tomb will also be decorated with daffodils, bay and rosemary, the traditional symbol of remembrance.
Meanwhile, The King is also paying tribute to the couple’s wedding day with the floral selection for the Coronation.
The decorations in the Quire, where the majority of the Coronation service will take place, include hellebores. These are one of His Majesty’s favourite flowers and he chose to wear them in his buttonhole on the day he married Queen Camilla in Windsor.
The floral decorations in Westminster Abbey have been created by Shane Connolly who designed the flowers and decorations for the King and Queen’s marriage.
All the blooms have been provided by Flowers from the Farm, a non profit organisation that champions artisan growers of cut flowers.
The Coronation takes place on May 6th 2023.
