Millennial impact is currently\ntrending in the wedding scene worldwide. Modern brides seek sharing their event\nwith family and friends in the most personal way they can, showing their\nindividuality, and being socially conscious with their choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A royal wedding always has a great\ncultural impact on style trends. When millennial-darlings Prince Harry and\nMeghan Markle tied the knot recently, the world watched with great interest,\nand long after the royal honeymoon is over we will see a shift in how the\nglobal wedding industry adapts to the trends set forth with new royal\nprospective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Royal-Meets-Millennial P.O.V.<\/strong>   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An American from Hollywood, Meghan\nMarkle is already familiar with style influence. For her wedding to the Prince,\nshe was very aware of keeping with tradition while still expressing unique\npersonality. The royals were right in step with most millennial weddings who\nwant to honor tradition but still voice their individuality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the \u201csomething borrowed,\nsomething blue\u2026\u201d factor, tradition is trending, but with a twist. Currently\nweddings are talking less drastic turns in style and color and keeping classic\nbut adding emphasis on unique personality. An example being the seemingly\nnever-ending trend of blush weddings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so much wedding eye-candy\navailable on social media now, brides are even more aware of what classic\nmeans. The millennial generation that is driven by \u201cselfie-awareness\u201d\ndefinitely does not want to look back at their wedding photos and say \u201cwhat was\nI thinking?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During news coverage of the royal\nwedding, we repeatedly saw the comparison photos of past royal nuptials. Time\nand again, we were shown side-by-side looks of Princess Diana with her elaborate\ngown, 25-foot train and full cascading bouquet (1981 was a good year to become\na princess); next to Diana was Kate Middleton\u2019s now iconic Alexander McQueen\ngown and her teardrop bouquet of lily-of-the-valley and stephanotis. On display\nwith these other princesses was Meghan Markle in her Givenchy Couture\u2019s classic\nwedding gown and her picked-from-the-royal-gardens bouquet styles, we can\ndefinitely see how simple and timeless is trending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sentimental and Emotional<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As details about the royal wedding\nbegan to emerge, the media greatly focused on the blend of royal tradition and\nmodern sentimentality. The all white collection of flowers in the bride\u2019s\nbouquet featured blooms that Prince Harry hand-picked. The bouquet consisted of\nForget-Me-Nots which were a favorite of Diana, Princess of Wales, in addition\nto astilbe, sweet peas, lily of the valley, tweedia (identified as Jasmine in\nmany reports\u2026 but it is definetly tweedia!) and astrantia. Also included was a\nsprig of myrtle, a royal tradition dating back to the wedding of Queen Victoria\u2019s\ndaughter, Princess Victoria. The flowers were major media stories that touched\npeople\u2019s hearts. The flowers showed the world that sentiment and tradition are\nfor everyone. The trend is leaning toward weddings including very personal\ngestures that give millennial weddings a connection to the past, present and\nfuture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expressive and Socially\nConscious<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trend in Millennial weddings\nbeing earth-friendly and socially conscious has been in the ether for a while\nnow. When high-visibility brides and grooms make an effort to share their\nawareness and philanthropy with the world, it can have great impact. Not only\ndid Prince Harry and Princess Meghan donate some of their wedding flowers to\npatients at a local hospice; they asked that in lieu of wedding gifts,\ndonations be made to small charitable organizations important to them. The\ncouple also shared their royal day with commoners, chosen by special invitation\nfrom a broad range of backgrounds and ages, including young people who have\nshown strong leadership skills, and those who have served their communities. A\nroyal example of the open-minded, connected and compassionate side of the\nmillennial generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Royal Style<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per the usual fashion media\nbuzz, a big to-do was made about the royal wedding dress. When finally\nrevealed, the simplicity of the elegant, chic gown was the talk of the globe.\nAgain embracing tradition and sentimentality, the veil told the story with it\u2019s\nembroidered flowers representing each of the 53 counties in the Commonwealth of\nEngland, as well as the personal additions of the Wintersweet, which grows on\nthe grounds of Kensington Palace, and the California Poppy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussion of Meghan\u2019s understated\nbouquet was the talk of social media. Florists around the world were shocked\nthat it wasn\u2019t more elaborate. Regardless of the size of the bouquet, the\nultimate trend impact lies within the textural composition of dainty flowers\nand unexpected foliage with their touching sentimental meaning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was indeed elaborate were the\nmagnificent floral arches embellishing the interior and exterior of St.\nGeorge\u2019s Chapel at Windsor Castle. The lush foliage and thoughtfully placed\nfloral accents gave way to a new version of the flower walls we are so\naccustomed to seeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that her gown and bouquet were unexpected definitely sets us up for a shift in our existing trends. The nod toward a new version of the coveted flower wall is an exciting trend-evolving option. This bride has started something new. Trends begin when a trendsetter does something fabulous and unexpected that no one else is doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
