 KING CHARLES III'S CORONATION FLOWERS: 

WHAT BLOOMS TO EXPECT AT THE CEREMONY

Plans for King Charles III's Coronation on Saturday 6th May 2023 are well underway, but what flowers are likely to feature in the ceremony? Keep reading for everything you need to know about King Charles' favourite flowers, Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation flowers, and what beautiful blooms we think might appear.

It's possible that common wildflowers could make an appearance. At Highgrove House, he included Meadow Gatefold, a wildflower meadow, in the grounds, as well as many rare wildflower species. Bluebells will also be in season at the time of the Coronation, so they could be considered for floral arrangements. It's no surprise that our new monarch loves to garden, so we imagine he may include some blooms from his own outdoor space.

Many royal experts predict that Lily-of-the-valley will feature at the King's Coronation. A symbol of purity, joy, love and sincerity, these pretty flowers were a favourite of Queen Elizabeth II and featured in her Coronation bouquet in 1953.

To mark the special occasion, we may also see the symbolic blooms of Britain. Many countries around the world have adopted a flower as part of their national emblem, and King Charles could include these at his Coronation.
