Celebrate the Royal Wedding in style on April 29th

TOP TIPS FOR THE DINING ROOM

1. Royal Britannia is all about traditional British style. Think royal crowns, British bulldogs and timeless tweed for a look that says country manor chic.

2. For a truly British celebration, think home-grown. UK-manufactured tableware and a traditional, home-grown menu will complete the quintessentially British experience.

3. Think about seating your guests. If you need to bring in extra chairs, a few union jack scatter cushions will hide any mismatched furniture.

4. Vintage influences are a big trend at the moment and work extremely well alongside the Royal Britannia theme – don’t be afraid to experiment. For instance, tiered cake stands look fantastic as a table centrepiece.

TOP TIPS FOR THE STREET PARTY

1. For a magical outdoor setting, go overboard with the fairy lights and homemade decorations. Get the children involved and make your own bunting and paper chains the night before, and string them up at the last minute for the wow-factor.

2. Plastic tableware needn’t be unglamorous. Acrylic glasses look elegant but will not break if dropped outdoors, meaning no risk of shattered glass. Alternatively, plastic champagne flutes are the ideal disposable option for an outdoor celebration.

3. Little touches can make a huge difference – patterned napkins and tablecloths are a cheap and easy way to inject character and interest.
