It seems like just yesterday Prince Harry proposed to actress Meghan Markle, but with the pair’s nuptials quickly approaching, and with a slew of new information coming out regarding the big day, the whole event might seem overhwelming.

We’ve created a rundown of what you need to know: from the wedding cake to the best man–we’ve made a one-stop-spot for all-things Royal Wedding.

When and Where

The wedding will take place at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle Saturday, May 18, at 12pm (Royal time), followed by a carriage procession. The reception will take place at St. George’s Hall, while the celebration will continue into the evening at Frogmore House.

Bridal Party

Prince William will be Prince Harry’s best-man, while Meghan Markle reportedly will not have a maid of honor, but will have a number of bridesmaids, or rather, “attendants.” In fact, Princess Charlotte and Prince George will allegedly reprise their roles as bridesmaid and page boy, from Pippa Middleton’s wedding last May.

Invite List

The invites have been sent, but the guest list remains a mystery to the public. We can assume the list will include a who’s-who of British society, including Prince Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, father, Charles, and brother and sister-in-law, William and Kate. Markle’s family and well-known friends, like Priyanka Chopra will also be in attendance. 

Wedding Cake

The soon-to-be husband and wife have chosen pastry chef Claire Ptak, owner of the London-based bakery Violet Cakes, to create a lemon and elderflower confectionary concoction for the reception.

Flowers

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have chosen floral designer Phillipa Craddock to conceptualize floral arrangements for the wedding. The displays in the chapel will offer up foliage from the Crown Estate and Windsor Great Park, using seasonal plants like beech, birch, and hornbeam, as well as white garden roses, peonies, and foxgloves.

The displays in St George’s Chapel will feature foliage from The Crown Estate and Windsor Great Park, and will use seasonal plants including branches of beech, birch and hornbeam, as well as white garden roses, peonies and foxgloves. The designs will reflect the wild and natural landscapes from which many of the plants will be drawn. The Royal Parks will also supply pollinator-friendly plants from their wildflower meadows. These plants provide a great habitat for bees and help to sustain healthy and biodiverse ecosystems. PA

A huge thank you to His Royal Highness Prince Harry and Ms Markle, for allowing me to take their official engagement portraits. Not only was it an incredible honour, but also an immense privilege to be invited to share and be a witness to this young couple’s love for each other.  I cannot help but smile when I look at the photos that we took. @Kensingtonroyal
