Welcome to the D. T. A. Royal Wedding Wednesday Party Idea and Linky Extravaganza!
There is so much darling goodness to behold if you are preparing to host a Royal Wedding viewing or street party.
So let’s get this party started! (This video is a happy must see. )
While I myself have been hosting a Royal Wedding party every Wednesday since January, I will not be holding an event in my home as I will be headed to France (I know~I know). But for those who are, I hope you will enjoy these ideas regal enough for Royalty.
I think I may have actually squealed out loud when I saw this “bubbly” couple. To see how to create this darling Royal bride and groom please visit the Domestic Goddesque.
How happy~ try hanging red, white and blue
pom poms from the ceiling or on walls as party décor.
Check out this fabulous paper bouquet from
Whether Paperworks. Wouldn’t this be amazing as a centerpiece?
Street parties are big events in Britain as are garden parties. I adore the Cath Kidston feel of this event created by
Elizabeth Harris.
Merely googling “Red, white and blue party décor” will bring forth a plethora of wonderful ideas for entertaining such as this gorgeous f
ête by
The Sweetest Occasion.
A quick sweep through your home and the grocery store aisles to search for items in a patriotic color palette can result in a treasure trove of items you can transform into a charming party vignette.
Life sized cutouts of the happy couple to place near the front door would also be fun!
For quick and easy entertaining one of my favorite U.K. shoppes,
Accessorize, has this cute tiered cupcake stand.
They do paper napkins too.
I’m thinking you could create a party game of “Pin Will and Kate at the church…palace…” over a map of London sites. Another pin board of the Union Standard can be found at Snaffles Mummy.
I adore these engaging “napkin rings”.
As most of America will be watching the wedding in the wee hours, a breakfast menu is the perfect solution.
Of course every wedding celebration needs a
cake.
While you could also create fruit kebabs, this
parfait confection looks a “trifle” yummy too.
Keeping the children occupied should not be a royal pain. A mere box and crayons could result in a “
Horse and Carriage”.
Every little one likes a crown. There are
premade kits or you come up with your own.
There are also Princess Catherine
paper dolls to enjoy.
Also available in a garden party variety. Want! Need! Must have!
Is anyone willing to stitch up a Union Standard
dress ?
But most importantly, I hope you have fun. While this does end the British edition of Royal Wedding Wednesday, I will return with this series in early June to begin the Monaco edition of R.W.W. to celebrate Prince Albert’s upcoming nuptials. After all, his parents wedding was quite the event.
Now let’s see what you have deemed Royal!
May you all live “Happily Ever After”!

That video was AWESOME!! I loveeeeeeeeeee the party ideas!! Does it count that my boxes I have packed are Blue and Red??? Just kidding! No decorating for me this year! Moving is in the way! BUT! I will be watching the wedding! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
I really should be following all the excitement much closer since it will be my Birthday on Friday. The video really had me laughing.
Love your party, Laura! I see some things on here I might just try. So many fun options.
Wishing you a safe and happy trip to France! Wish I could crawl inside your suitcase and go, too!
Thanks for hosting...
XO,

This is about as close as I'm going to get to the royal wedding. lol. I enjoy sleeping. :)
I LURVE that bouquet. How much fun is that?! Hope you have fun and stay safe on your trip. Lots of pics better be posted when you come back.
great fun enjoy the day fay xx
Forget Westminster and Buckingham, Decor Castle is the place you should head to celebrate this Royal Wedding in style ;).
Loved the suggestions and I'm laughing looking at the (real) prep pics with so much people running and stressing over it when all they needed was you.
Wednesday won't be half fun after Friday ;).
Wishing you a wonderful trip, with lots of fun and full of rich experiences.
Yours,

Such fun ideas! I wish I had time to plan a royal wedding party, but I'm in the midst of last minute planning for a tea party fundraiser next Saturday. Luckily, it also involves scones and tea and cute foods. =)
Have a wonderful trip to France! Excited for the report when you return!
Thank you, Laura. I'm linked now! This is just so much fun. I worried & worried about my outfit for the wedding, finally got it settled last night. Would love to know what everyone thinks of my ensemble. :)'s

These are all so fantastic that I kept changing my mind as to what was my favorite. I finally decided that it was either a tie or I would have to pick the adorable little girl in the homemade coach just for cuteness.
I feel like such a goof because I'm getting so excited.
I LOVE all the ideas & inspiration! Thanks for the invite!
Oh my goodness--your photos and ideas are brilliant!! I am even more excited to watch :) Thank you for hosting such a lovely party--happy Friday!!!!
Holy Smokes it is a Royal bonanza! It would be fun to go to a street party in the UK!
Des idées royales... Bisous
Hello
I just found your blog today. I have hosted wedding fever all month on my blog starting with my anniversary on April 6th.
I did an American royal wedding post that I linked today, but I will post your link on my most current page, too.
www.hinessightblog.com
Some stunning ideas and inspiration featured here.
Good luck with your party and thanks so much for featuring me x
How wonderful!!! Today Indy and I went to our local British shop (called Piccadilly!) to get some "authentic" British goodies to eat while we watch and discovered that they are having a HUGE viewing party complete with tea, cake, scones, biscuits and other stuff. They are actually rearranging the store to accommodate a large screen TV, chairs and food tables. We might just go to that. There were a lot of people there today buying goodies for their own parties. We can't wait. Thanks so much for all your work on RWW! I'm excited to see what you come up with for the Monaco wedding. We went there last year and it is such a gorgeous country!
Thanks for so, so much for including my Royal printables! Much appreciated! Love some of your other finds too-I need a pair of those Union jack shoes!
Such a cute video! And Laura, I've so enjoyed your Wedding Wednesdays ~ The photos are always great & I've actually learned alot along the way due to you, too!
Have a fun safe trip to France and I'll try not to be too jealous!!:0)
Big TX Hugs,

Plan on making myself a quiche and drink from my Harrods tea cup and my vintage Selfridges silver teaspoon, And get out the pictures of my many trips to London with my mom. Wish she were here to spend the day with me. Thanks for leading us up to the event!!!

So many fantastic ideas there. I love the Royal printables, and wish I had know about them sooner! I'll be looking at all things Royal all weekend! Thanks for hosting the linky party.
Thanks so much for your kind words. I have joined the linky party! Let the countdown begin!!!
These imges are gorgeous and I love your blog. Linking up for the first time. Would love for you to stop by My Dream Canvas.
Hey!! It's the Royal PEAculiar, here!!
We are basically at a DEFCON-10 level here, eagerly anticipating THE WEDDING!!!
Cranberry orange scones are being glazed, and strawberries, blueberries and cream will be served in the morning. Champagne is chilling...morning negotiations of "who is getting up when" are underway and the young, "DON'T CALL ME PRINCESS" Royal PEAculiar 2 has accepted that she will be yanked out of the bed just before Miss Middleton makes her way to the church to witness this historic event! (She'll thank me in 20 years or so!! I hope.) And NeNe? Well, NeNe is "just standing around," as usual...hee hee!
Dear, dear Laura--I have SO enjoyed these posts and having the opportunity to join in!!!
LET THE ROYAL RUMPUS BEGIN!!!
Love,
Your Royal PEAculiar
Hello Laura,
Your post is such fun and I appreciate your party too. Thanks for helping us celebrate at your lovely blog...loving your romantic header!
Safe travels and can't wait to see all your amazing pics when you get back! Good idea going to France this weekend...everyone will be over in London!
Thanks for sharing! :)
