Royal Wedding Traditions That Eulilia and Shawn Will be Following
1. A Sprig of Myrtle
It has become a tradition for the bride to have a sprig of myrtle in her bouquet. The sprig will come from Queen Victoria's 170 year old garden. This tradition started when Queen Victoria got married in 1840. It is a symbol of good fortune in love and marriage.2. Welsh Gold
In 1923, when the Queen Mother wed King George VI, she chose Welsh Gold for her wedding ring. The nugget of gold came from the now-closed Clogau st. David's mine in North Wales, and has been used for others Royal's such as the Queen, Princess Margaret, and Princess Diana.
3. Fruitcake
Fruitcake has been served at the wedding reception for quite a long time. Many Royals have followed this, such as Victoria & Albert, Charles & Diana, Andrew & Sarah, and William & Kate.
4. Tomb of the Unknown Warrior
This tradition began in 1923 with the Queen Mother, to honour her late brother Fergus, who had died in WW1. From then on, the other brides had taken to that tradition in Westminster Abbey.
5. Official Photographs
On their wedding day, the bride and groom should pose for an official photograph along with immediate family and the bridal party.
6. Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue
This is pretty self-explanatory. The bride should have or be wearing something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.
7. Balcony Kiss
The bride and groom will appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to share a public kiss and wave to the crowd below.
8. Horse-Drawn Carriage
For longer than a century, the brides and grooms have been riding in a horse-drawn carriage named the 1902 State Landau. If it rains, they will be pulled in a glass carriage instead. The last people to arrive in the carriage were Charles and Diana.
9. Hats
Female guests must wear hats to the wedding ceremony. This started in the 1950's when British women rarely showed their hair in public. It has now become tradition and a sign of respect at formal events.
