Washington: With less than 50 days left for the Royal Wedding, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are putting final touches to their wedding scheduled for May 19.
The wedding will include floral displays made out of locally picked flowers in shades of pink and white.
Kensington Palace announced on Saturday that the two have chosen floral designer Philippa Craddock to create the flowers for their wedding at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, reported E news.
“I am excited and honored to have been chosen by Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle to design and create their wedding flowers,” Craddock said in a statement.
“The final designs will represent them as a couple, which I always aim to achieve in my work, with local sourcing, seasonality and sustainability being at the forefront,” she added.
She will strive to use flowers and plants that are in season in May, such as white garden roses, foxgloves and peonies, Meghan’s favorite flower, according to her now-deleted Instagram, as well as branches of beech, birch and hornbeam.
The displays will be created using locally sourced foliage, much of which will be taken from the grounds of The Crown Estate and Windsor Great Park.
Kensington Palace said that the Royal Parks will also supply some pollinator-friendly plants from their wildflower meadows, which will “provide a great habitat for bees and help to nurture and sustain entire ecosystems by promoting a healthy and biodiverse environment.”
The flowers will be donated to charity after the wedding. (ANI)
