Bottom line, this has been done before, with Edward and Sophie, and with Peter and Autumn, not so? :cool: So how did they handle it? How did Edward and Sophie handle 550 guests?

Mini-buses.

"But even the bigwigs—like the Sultan of Brunei, who brought his two wives—were ferried to the chapel in white minibuses."
 
The guests arrived in mini buses for Edward and Sophie, however Edward, Andrew and Charles walked down to the church which I think Harry might do too.
 
I guess the official Declaration of Consent of Marriage from the Privy Council will be made public once The Queen come back to Buckingham Palace next month. Exciting weeks ahead.

They've already announced the engagement and wedding date...seems like the official declaration is rather behind.

William and Kate’s official declaration wasn’t done until February, after the announcements of the engagement and wedding dates.

The Queen and Privy Council still have to issue the formal Declaration of Consent of Marriage for Harry and Meghan.

The Cambridge’s formal Declaration-

Then the document (Instrument of Consent) was released just days before the wedding-

When Heathrow began to expand [just prior to WWll] Jet engines had yet to be invented, and no-one had the foggiest idea it would become the behomoth that it has.. a curse to those unfortunate enough to live near it , or worse [like the Royal Family] underneath its flight path..

O well, I expect they soon get so accustomed that they don't even notice the planes anymore.
 
The Daily Mail has proven themselves so wrong more than right. They have no new information except telling us what we already know. Meghan and Harry will be hands on. They told us that themselves.

When did the invites start getting leaked? Trying to figure out the timetable.
 
The Daily Mail didn't give any detail at all....the safe way for them to give the so called inside scoop.Simply 'different then the Cambridge'. All royal weddings have different aspects. As it seems the daily fail is only mentioning the reception, that is true with them all. And its hard to contest if they are right in the end as we wont get much detail and no photos, other then the ceremony and the cake. The 'classic and white' color scheme well since it basically has been the floral color scheme for royal weddings in the UK, no shock there.
 
Do you think that streamers will be used among the decorations in the chapel?

Streamers scream prom or high school party. Or low budget wedding perhaps. I don't see them using streamers in a grand historical chapel, or reception.
 
There will be flowers in the chapel folks.
 
:previous: Of course there will be flowers in the chapel, not sure anyone thought there wouldn't be. :ermm: Now what kind of flowers is left to be seen.

I would love to see them move away from the 'classic white' color scheme the DM is predicting, which we always see there.
 
...
The chapel and its natural architecture and banners are extremely beautiful, they are blessed in the venue.

Daily Star has a story that Harry's advance team is looking at Verbier for his bachelor party (stag do). I don't know if strippers are customary, but if they are part of the do, please do the following:

Confiscate cell phones
Check for other recording devices
Have them sign NDAs

But most importantly, don't do anything that would be a story to tell the tabloids. No repeats of Vegas or William's misadventure in Verbier.

Yep. :flowers: And I was wondering, as I looked at all the guests flowing down the steps at Edward's and Sophie's wedding, where it looked overcast (was it?), what will happen if there is rain? Might they put up a massive tent over the steps? Wondering.....;)

I doubt there will be any strippers involved. The stag/hen parties seem to, at least in the upper crust, have become more of a weekend away with the friends, drinking and having fun. Instead of a wild night at the bar.

The star seems to be changing tunes. Back in November they were saying 'top gear' night planned by William.

Also suggesting a hag, a joint event for the couple at a polo match.

They also talk about the same security going there with him in 2016, except he never went to Verbier in 2016.
 
:previous: Another one of those, get the jump by making a 'scoop' that is believable. And then if it proves untrue, don't admit it, just say 'they decided on a different option'. That way if he does end up there, 'well we broke it'.

If does choose Verbier, should ask uncle Andy for use of his home there (if Sarah is in the UK for something). Harry is close to the Yorks, and would offer the privacy and likely easy security, for a stag weekend.
 
Some of us do know that Meghan likes peonies. Peony flowers come in different colors. Some peonies could be used. You would not have to have a massive amount to be the domineering flower.
What do you think of using some of the flowers that are in the bride's bouquet as idea for flowers in the chapel?
 
I'm more of the opinion that the bridal bouquet will definitely include forget-me-nots. Peonies along with them would be beautiful.
 
Peonies and forget me nots would look beautiful combined. A little pop of blue would be beautiful, and a wonderful nod to both Diana and senteble.

They could easily be used in both the décor and the bouquet. It seems common to use the same flowers for both (not always).
 
I love the idea of using peonies etc...non-traditional types of flowers (wedding).


LaRae
 
Forget me nots may be hard to use in the greater décor. Could just put in her bouquet alone, like Meghan's something blue in the old tradition. It could be a hint of color, if they want to stick with the normally white bouquets in the family.

Not a big rose person. I have always preferred more simple flowers like tulips, sunflowers and daisies. But peonies seem like a lovely balance, not roses but still a bit more formal for weddings.
