Well just like every ceremony there are traditions, and royal weddings are full of them. So to answer some of pressing questions we might be able to discover some answers by taking a look at what is custom.
Did you know that white wedding dresses became popular because Queen Victoria wed in white in 1840?! Since then white became a norm for millions of brides. Amazing! Past royal brides usually wear white silk with antique lace, but the style has differed over time.

After the wedding if you see Prince William without a marriage band, do not be alarmed! According to sources, usually the men do not wear wedding bands, but the bride does… Queen Elizabeth I started a ritual when her ring was made from a nugget of Welsh gold. Since Her ring, all royal women incorporated a bit of the same nugget into their wedding band; Kate’s ring will almost certainly contain some of the same Welsh gold. What a great way to bond the family together!

Here is an unexpected tradition – the wedding cake is usually fruitcake. You may think that fruitcake is an odd choice for your wedding, but in England it is a norm. I think I would prefer chocolate cake at my wedding.
