A MEASLY $3.4 MILLION?

-

After the event has been locked down, Harry and Meghan will have a rather modest-looking $3.4 million for the wedding itself. According to high-end wedding planners, Quintessen­tially, you can still put on a pretty decent bash, complete with luxurious invitation­s to a beautiful wedding breakfast for 600 guests. Bridebook’s breakdown of the wedding cost includes $156,000 for 20 silver-plated trumpets that will announce the event, $87,000 on the lemon elderflowe­r cake from Violet Bakery in east London, and $190,000 on flowers to adorn the aisles of St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle and St George’s Great Hall, where the first reception will be held. The glass marquee that will be the centrepiec­e for the evening reception in the grounds of Frogmore House can cost around $522,000 to rent. The company says Harry and Meghan could also be forking out $45,000 on sausage rolls and hot tea for the 2,640 members of the public who have been invited into the ground of Windsor for the big day.
