    When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got married on May 19th, their floral arrangements had a clear vision: garden flowers and plants, all locally sourced. The royal couple chose floral designer Philippa Craddock to hold the ceremony at St. Georges Chapel and a grand exhibition at St. Georges Hall in Windsor Castle, where the Queen will host a lunch for the newlyweds. According to Kensington Palace, the floral designer will forage for leaves from the gardens and parks of Crown Estate and Windsor Great Park: think oak, beech, white roses, and peonies (said to be Markles favorite).

    But who can say until the big day? Thats why we turn to former White House florist Laura Dowling and author of “Floral Diplomacy at the White House,” for her insightful predictions on the royal wedding and her professional knowledge on setting a beautiful table with floral arrangements.

    Her first prediction began with the ceremony itself: “At a royal wedding, white and green flowers will be designed to evoke the English landscape – in a natural garden style – intended to convey the timeless, elegant aesthetic of royal tradition,” Dowling said. “Look for blooming branches (such as lilacs, white cherries, etc.) and architectural layouts of birch, oak, and beech to add scale and depth to the ceremony display.”

    At the following reception, the royal florist Philippa Craddock may add other elements to the decor: “perhaps including fruits and vegetables in the design. We can certainly expect to see lots of peonies everywhere!” Similarly, in this quirky floral scene, Meghan Markles favorite flower – peonies – and various early spring flowers in a fresh palette of cream, green, and lavender: garden roses, hydrangeas, foxgloves, daffodils, tulips, kale, lilacs, sneezeweed, irises, and trailing ivy.
