In honor of the pending nuptials of Prince Harry and Actress, Megan Markle we decided to dedicate this post to all of the brides looking to make their weddings a royal affair. After all, every bride wants to feel like a princess or queen on her special day. Here are a few tips on making your wedding worthy of the royal family.
Coverage
The monarchy in England hosts their wedding ceremonies in a church. Depending on the church or temple you choose, you may be required to cover your arms and have minimal cleavage. A sheer lace sleeve may be that touch of elegance you need to complete a conservative look. We like this dress from
Allure Couture.
Train
Kate Middleton's train was 9 ft long compared to Diana's 25 ft long train. While that would make for a very heavy bustle, you can still have grand entrance with 3 1/2-4 ft train from a gown like this one from
Stella York.
If you want a smaller train but still want some drama, you can opt for a cathedral veil which will give you the length of a long train without having a bustle.
Finishing Touches
Nothing completes the look of a princess like a Tiara. We love this one from
Edward Berger for Mon Cheri. It can be ordered in silver or gold.
Is a tiara not your style? You can try a delicate headband that has all the sparkle of a traditional tiara with a softer look. We love this one from Jaxie Bridal.
Bridesmaids
In choosing your color scheme you want to consider jewel tones like "Royal" Blue, Majestic Purple, and Cranberry Red. These colors get their reputation for being associated with royalty, power and wealth because of the price of the dyes used to produce it. In fact, Queen Elizabeth I forbade anyone except close members of the royal family to wear the color purple.
We love these dresses from
Sorella Vita.

We at Wonderland Bridal are so excited to see what touches the Markle Sparkle will add to her wedding. We predict she will walk down the aisle in Stella McCartney. If she does, remember where you heard it first!
