"Greater demand for white flowers as brides have caught royal fever"

When you start planning a royal wedding, you must assume the sky is the limit for budget and bling. "This is why I find it so charming that Prince Henry and Meghan Markle chose to use local and sustainably grown flowers for their (and everyone else’s!) big day", says Bill Prescott, Marketing Communications Specialist at Sun Valley Floral Farms.

The flowers could have been sourced from the far corners of the globe, brought in on royal transport, literally any flower you could possibly imagine. Instead this wedding was sort of a “Slow Flowers” inspired affair. The bride and groom chose to highlight flowers grown in the region and in the royal gardens; full of family meaning, tradition and history.

“We are already seeing a greater demand for white flowers as brides have caught royal fever,” Bill adds. “Consumers across the board are excited to share in Meghan Markle’s straight from the garden style. Our team developed the American Princess Bouquet to highlight this look. We are also currently harvesting gorgeous white flowers, such as, lilies, freesia, tulips, kalanchoe, matricaria and even some astilbe, which was a key flower in her bouquet.”

The American Princess Bouquet features 100% American Grown flowers, mirroring Meghan’s bouquet except created with a bounty of California Grown stems. This maintains the essence of the bouquet for customers looking for local, seasonal and sustainable… and royal.
