If you are curious about what they are, then take out your favorite fascinator, shine your best black shoes and read it, because the big day is approaching quickly! And for more amazing facts about the royal marriage, know thatHere is the secret ritual each royal bride occurs during his wedding day.
1 Do: dress up the game
The invitation called women to wear a "daytime dress" and men to wear a uniform, a morning suit or a living room costume (basically a business suit). These are not suggestions; They are therules.
Ourrides should not be shorter than the longest finger when arms are held on the side and not longer than the mid-veal. Dresses should not show a lot of skin. No bare shoulders and for the kindness of sakes, no cleavage. (Queen Elizabeth II is not a fan of spaghetti straps.)
British men love their morning costumes and high level hards. (Americans tend to look like Mr. Ceruut in them unless they are in the wedding party.) The army officers should wear their dress uniforms. All other men should consider a suit of Tom Ford or Canali impeccable dark color (the Navy is preferred). Gentlemen not bring to a linen. And speaking of luxury clothes, here's10 big ways to wear a marine suit.
2 Do not: wear black or white
Although Meghan beat a lot of black since his commitment to Harry, the dark shadow remains a color of mourning for the British royals and should certainly not be brought to a wedding.
The white is reserved for the bride and guest should remember that the big day. The accents and patterns of these colors are fine, however. And for more than the bride, here's10 things we know about Meghan Markle's wedding dress.
3 Do: wear a hat
The hats are an absolute must for women attending a British wedding. However, there are guidelines that should be followed: they are kept inside the church, so they must integrate properly and not be violated during the ceremony. The fascinators - defined as small matches with arches, flowers and sometimes a short-are always appropriate veil.
This is not the Kentucky derby, so you can forget to wear a flying saucer size, as well as everything with a huge edge. Wear an imposing creation that blocks the sitting of people sitting behind you, it's simply rude. Some royal women break this rule frequently (Princess beatrice hideous hat Worn for the wedding of William and Kate Vivra on the Internet Infamy), but they are royal - and you are not.

4 Do not: wear a big bag
Roters can leave the handbags oversized home. A giant tote is sure to draw the attention of the security team that is looking for all unusual items. In addition, Schlepping is very non-chic. Wear a small clutch likeCatherine, Cambridge Duchess Always done. And speaking of clutches, know thatIt's the secret turn the royal women always make when you release a car.
5 Do: wear hosiery
The naked legs were frowning. Even Meghan has pantyhose now. For more information on the bride, check these10 quotes that prove that Meghan Markle will lead the show after the wedding.
6 Do: wear your best shoes
Marriage is a formal church case. It's also a day event, but it's not a garden party. The open toes (even with fresh pedicure) and neighborhoods are not zero. Slingbacks are also considered too informal. A classic manolo blahnik pump (like those that Meghan still has since his commitment) is perfect. Heels should not be greater than four inches. Sky-High Stilettos are a few and are an imprudent choice because there are many pavers to navigate around.
Men's shoes must be freshly polished and shone in an inch of their lives. No brown shoes or belts. Black shoes are the only choice here.
7 Not: too much
Yes, Meghan is an old Hollywood actress and the event is probably monitored by millions around the world, but it's not the Oscars, and there is no red carpet. Customers should make sure their hat and dress go to the same marriage. Do not wear anything with glitter. And for the love of Pete, do not wear anything that looks like a diadem. The British - not just the royals - have a lot of unwritten rules when it comes to dressing for a wedding. Am them. At the top of the list: Do not attempt to surprise the bride. In this case, it would be totally ridiculous to try.
8 Do: be on time
This is not the time to be fashionable. In addition, customers will miss the best people who are watching the year if they enter after the A-Listers sit. The Royal Protocol dictates that the Queen is always the last person to arrive at the church before the bride and his attendants. So, guests will have to get there early, relax and take everything. It's a manifestation once in an event for life.
9 Do not: Do not even think of Saffier a saddle
There was no photography authorized toPrince WilliamAnd Kate Middleton's wedding, and it's safe enough to say that it will not be allowed to Windsor (at the church and at reception), no royal selfies.
10 Do: Turn off your phone
It's a good wedding rule for all weddings (and any other time in a church). Imagine how much you will be mortified if all the "single ladies" sudden "begin to blame from your phone during the wishes.

11 Do not: extend your hand to a member of the royal family.
Do not touch Royal. It's just not done. And do not even speak to the queen (not that there is a chance to become near her).
12 Do: Greate the couple briefly.
There could be up to 600 people at the front desk, the line of reception will be long and exhausting for Meghan and Harry. Tell your congratulations and advance.
13 Do not: Superty - unless you are a British topic.
We fought a revolution against the crown of our independence. Americans do not turn away from British royalty. It's easy to get caught throughout the British-Ness, but do not do it because you're going to look silly and fawning. For those who make the jump, do not do too much. The low sweeping songs are better left at Hammy Stage Actors. The vocal check involves a brief bob of the head and a light knee folding with weight on the front foot. The gentlemen are required to understand and watch briefly.
14 Do: keep the small discussion.
You can very well find yourself standing near some less royal or crossed trails with theCornwall duchess on the way to the Loo. Stick at safe and short remarks on the "good weather" and "beautiful ceremony". Do not ask any questions like: "Do you think Prince Charles will ever be king?"

15 Do: Take it easily at the bar
It goes without saying - do not drink. Do not even think about drinking to drink with the royals. They soak every day - and they drink a lot. Unless you are used to reducing the scotch (such as Harry) or Gin and toned (like the Queen and Camilla) on a regular basis, opt for two glasses of champagne, then go to sparkling mineral water.
16 Do not do: bring a gift.
What do you buy a royal couple who has everything? Nothing. Meghan and Harry have asked the guests give a donation of one of the seven charities they have selected representing social change, the empowerment of women, conservation, the environment, homelessness, HIV and the forces armies.
17 Do: keep your hands of silverware - and flowers
Do not even think about putting a champagne flute or a silver spoon in your handbag (you will not be able to talk if you are making our advice and bring a small clutch). And forget to take a centerpiece. This is not the wedding of your cousin. After the reception, Meghan and Harry make flowers to local charities so do not purge the peonies.
18 Do not: talk to the press
Unless your Northwest Northwest Meghan BFF and the bride assistant to share details with the press in Taboid, save your anecdotes on the wedding of the century for Thanksgiving dinner with your in-law.
