Were you counting down the days until Meghan and Harry’s royal wedding and now can’t stop thinking about how beautiful it was? You don’t have to be in the royal family to plan a wedding that makes you feel like royalty.
Take a look at some of these exciting pop-up wedding ideas that were inspired by the royal wedding!
Long Veil
During the royal wedding, Meghan wore a chic wedding dress without any beading or embroidery, which meant her veil had room to make a major statement. Sixteen and a half feet long, the veil had detailed embroidery along the edges for a breathtaking look.
If you’re planning a casual pop-up wedding but like the idea of wearing something elegant, a longer veil can be eye-catching and alluring. It can make an extremely powerful statement when you pair it with a simpler dress. It can also lead to some intimate moments and romantic photography such as when Prince Harry lifted Meghan’s veil before expressing their vows.
Food Stations
Details have emerged from the royal wedding reception, and gorgeous white tents and personalized food stations took center stage. Meghan and Harry incorporated bars and food displays throughout the outdoor venue–this type of set-up gives your guests the luxury of enjoying the grounds and mingling with people as they check out each food station.
For an outdoor pop-up wedding, Pop the Knot can help you create this type of set-up during your cocktail hour. Have one station with drinks, another with cheeses and olives, and another with fresh fruits and veggies.
Tea Table
The royal family is known for its appreciation for tea. If you’re planning a laidback wedding on an outdoor patio or in a colorful public garden, a tea table can be the perfect addition especially earlier in the day.
We can help you find local caterers or restaurants who can create dainty desserts like macaroons, cookies and fruit tarts, and adorable sandwiches cut into triangles. Pop the Knot can even help you go all out with the royal inspiration by decorating your venue to match this theme. With colorful towers of snacks alongside delicate china, this is a fun addition to help give your guests the royal treatment.
Hats
Royals are known for their stylish hats, so why not have some fun with your pop-up wedding and ask guests to wear their favorite hat to your celebration? Instead of asking them to follow a strict dress code, this is a fun spin on an elegant, black-tie affair that will lead to some great memories.
Childhood Favorites
Apparently, the royal couple celebrated being young at heart by serving cotton candy to their guests during the royal wedding reception! It has also been reported that guests enjoyed late-night burgers and pizza–an adorable connection to the couple’s younger years.
Decide which food or snacks lead to sweet memories for you and your fiance. Whether you want to plan a pop-up wedding with a late-night food truck or a s’mores station, pick something that’s meaningful to you and symbolizes you as a couple.
