In case you haven’t heard, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal nuptials are right around the corner.
The world was a frenzy during the engagement and 2011 nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton, but as the Crown’s second-next heir, it was always expected that Will would settle down. Harry, the younger prince and known bachelor, was always a bit of a mystery when it came to his personal life. So with the whirlwind romance and engagement to Meghan Markle, the world can barely contain their interest and excitement for the upcoming royal wedding.
At Blueprint, we live and breathe weddings and—surprise!—we also love the Royals. If you’re anything like us, you can’t help but think about what sort of gifts Harry and Meghan would put on their wedding registry. We also thought about how the everyday couple can add a “royal-esque” feel to their own wedding registries without the princely price tag.
You may not be getting hitched in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, but there are fabulous and more affordable ways to add a royal touch to your wedding registry. Check out our list of wedding gift registry ideas in honor of, and inspired by, the Prince Henry of Wales and Meghan Markle (or, presumably, the future HRH Duke and Duchess of Sussex or Connaught).
