Prince Harry, a member of the British royal family, will marry Meghan Markle (aka Rachel Meghan Markle), American actress\u00a0and humanitarian this year. The 36-year-old is living a real-life princess dream, since Harry surprised her and proposed over a “standard” night in, cooking roast chicken at home. The response was an instant yes from Meghan. Harry designed the stunning yellow\u00a0gold, three stone engagement ring from Botswana,\u00a0incorporating two side stones directly from Diana’s collection. Harry stated post-announcement of the engagement that he believes that his late mother, Princess Diana, would be “jumping up and down” with joy, and would have adored Meghan.<\/p>\n

Of course, Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge were happy for Prince Harry and Meghan, announcing that they were “very excited” by the news.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, foliage will come from the grounds of Windsor Castle.<\/p>\n

Kensington Palace also announced that the Royal Parks will also supply some pollinator-friendly plants in order to “provide a great habitat for bees and help to nurture and sustain entire ecosystems by promoting a healthy and biodiverse environment”, and that Craddock will be in charge of directing a team of florists in order to create the display.In addition, the flowers will be donated to charity after the wedding.<\/section>\n

We are so impressed by the key factor in all of this royal florist announcement- sustainability rather than extravagance for the sake of extravagance.<\/section>\n

The wedding day timeline:<\/h2>\n

The plan for the day, includes the couple exchanging vows at noon. From there, the newlyweds will leave Windsor Castle for a processional in a carriage at approximately 1pm. From here, the couple will return to the castle grounds for a royal reception (literally), hosted by none other than Queen Elizabeth ll at St George’s Hall.<\/p>\n

After this reception, a smaller reception is to be held by Prince Charles for friends and family. Because why have one party when you can have two?<\/p>\n
