Prince Harry, Meghan pick Diana's favourite flower for wedding
Wedding preparations are in full swing for the royal couple, Prince Harry and his fiancee Meghan Markle. They revealed their choice of florist for their wedding, along with that they also disclosed that white garden roses, a favourite of his late mother Princess Diana will also be a major attraction, Kensington Palace said.
London-based luxury floral designer Philippa Craddock will add floral charm to their wedding.
On May 19, Harry and Markle would tie knots at St George's Chapel at the Windsor Castle. The wedding would follow a carriage procession through Windsor town and a reception in St George's Hall, it was announced last year.
Working with a team of florists from St George's Chapel and Buckingham Palace, the displays will use flowers and foliage taken from the gardens of the royal palaces and Windsor Great Park, the official residence of the British Royal family said.
The designs will feature white garden roses in memory of late Princess Diana, peonies and foxgloves, along with branches of beech, birch and hornbeam.
The Kensington Palace said the arrangements will "reflect the wild and natural landscapes from which many of the plants will be drawn".
Craddock, who has a studio in London and shop in Selfridges, said, "I am excited and honoured to have been chosen by Prince Harry and Ms Meghan Markle to design and create their wedding flowers."
"Working with them has been an absolute pleasure. The process has been highly collaborative, free-flowing, creative and fun. 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 theforefront," she said. -PTC News
