Meghan Markle's Wedding Flowers Are Finally Here—And They're Stunning
Planning a wedding is no small feat, and for most people, it’s a pretty stressful experience. But for Meghan Markle, whose royal nuptials were watched by millions around the globe, the pressure was on another level entirely. Imagine having the whole world waiting to see every detail of your big day. So, can you imagine how relieved she must have felt when one of the most important elements—her flower arrangements—was finally sorted? Let me tell you, this is a big deal!
When you're talking about a royal wedding, every detail matters. From the dress to the music, everything has to be perfect. And while we've been hearing about all the other glamorous aspects of the day, the flowers were something everyone was waiting to hear about. Lucky for us (and Meghan), the suspense is over. The florist chosen for the job is none other than Philippa Craddock, a talented floral designer with studios in Fulham and Selfridges in London. Craddock has been tasked with creating an unforgettable floral experience using blooms from the Crown Estate and Windsor Great Park gardens.
Floral Dreams: What’s on the List?
Now, here’s the exciting part: Philippa Craddock has been commissioned to incorporate a breathtaking combination of white garden roses, peonies, and foxgloves into the royal wedding arrangements. To add a natural touch, branches of beech, birch, and hornbeam will also feature prominently. These flowers aren’t just chosen for their beauty; they’re also meant to reflect the wild and natural landscapes that inspired the designs. The Royal Parks will even supply pollinator-friendly plants from their wildflower meadows, ensuring that these arrangements not only look stunning but also contribute positively to the environment. It’s like having a little piece of nature right there in the chapel.

Why Peonies? A Favorite Flower
For fans of Meghan Markle, the inclusion of peonies in the floral arrangements comes as no surprise. Peonies have long been a favorite of the former actress. If you take a trip down memory lane to her (now deleted) Instagram account, you’ll find a post from years ago where she shared a stunning bouquet of peonies. Her caption read: “Swooning over these. #London #Peonies #SpoiledRotten.” It’s clear that these flowers hold a special place in her heart.
In another post from 2016, Meghan shared another photo of peonies, this time writing: “I bought these peonies for myself yesterday because they make me so endlessly happy. Do something sweet for yourself today too. #TreatYourself, #SimplePleasures, #FavoriteFlowers.” These posts give us a glimpse into Meghan’s personal connection to the flowers, making their inclusion in her wedding arrangements all the more meaningful.
Philippa Craddock Speaks Out
Speaking about her royal commission, Philippa Craddock shared her excitement in a statement. “I am thrilled and honored to have been chosen by Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle to design and create their wedding flowers,” she said. “Working with them has been an absolute pleasure. The process has been highly collaborative, free-flowing, creative, and fun. The final designs will represent them as a couple, which I always aim to achieve in my work, with local sourcing, seasonality, and sustainability being at the forefront.”
