Doesn't the Maid/Matron of honor plan the bridal parties? Or adult attendant if she's having children in the party.

Ah..well I guess things change.

I know Sophie and her parents stayed at Royal lodge the night before the wedding, with the Queen Mum. I would think both Meghan's parents will be invited to stay at the castle with their daughter if that is where she is staying.
Actually Sophie did not come from the Castle but from the Royal Lodge which is at the other side ot Windsor Great Park. She and her Family spend the night before the wedding there. Don't think this is an Option for Meghan as it is now the Home of Prince Andrew. Perhaps she and her Family could stay at Frogmore.
It depends. A lot of bridal party still takes charge of that, but some brides have decided to host something for their friends rather than have them do it.
I believe this is the carriage the couple will use.http://www.gettyimages.com/license/830201196
This is the carriage that Prince Edward and Sophie used in their wedding procession. Someone previously expressed that Prince Harry and Meghan may use this carriage. The carriage is referred to as an Ascot Landau.
That's odd. I just watched the video showing Sophie coming down the Long Drive? So are you saying she didn't come out of Windsor Castle? Where is the Royal Lodge? Did she drive out of that and then drive down the Long Drive?
So does that confirm that William is his best man?Harry was asked about his stag and said “I'm sure William's got something up his sleeve.”

I don't ever think there was an idea he wouldn't be.

Royal Lodge is one of the homes in Royal Great Park about 3 miles (4.8 kms) from Windsor and is now the home of Prince Andrew. In 1999 it was the Windsor home of the Queen Mother and I believe Sophie spent the night before her wedding there with the Queen Mum and from there they both, made their way to the Castle before the wedding.
I think she drove from Royal Lodge - along the Great Walk and into the castle grounds that way and after the service, they went in the carriage out the castle grounds around the streets and up the Long Walk and back into the castle grounds.
I really don't get the need to see the entire royal family paraded out for a long drive
Yes seeing the bride in her car, getting glimpses of her and waiting for the gown is great to see. But do you really need to watch Charles and Camilla drive down the walk? Or the queen?
For me - yes - that's part of the pomp and circumstance that I love about royal weddings.
It builds drama. I remember, by the time William and Harry, then other guests, then Kate's mom and brother, then Charles and Camilla, then Pippa and the kids, and then HMQ went through, the drama and the suspense was palpable... it was just really, really exciting to me... and the crowd got more and more amped up with William and Harry, then it lulled and built back up to HMQ and then reached a fever pitch with Kate... just wow.
It's kinda like getting excited about the pre-awards show and seeing people arrive and seeing the fans go crazy... I love the excitement of that. I'm also a sports fan and hearing crowds cheer wildly for epic moments really gives me chills... I often replay events just to experience the roar of the crowd again and feed off of the energy.
That's why I love seeing all of the build up to the actual ceremony. It gets me really hyped up on the pomp, circumstance and excitement of the crowd, and then I get all emotional during the ceremony, and then right back up to hyped again for the processional after the ceremony.
It's the perfect excitement-feels-excitement sandwich.
I hope that adequately explains my love for all 3 parts.
Yes, red carpet is a great example. Celebrities walk down the red carpet, from their car. We don't see them driving in open cars, pap pictures, for blocks on end. We see their grand arrival at the ceremony, and walk inside.
How does a 10 minute drive make the queen's arrival at the church more exciting I would think the arrival itself would be enough without the entire family parading around like a side show. Its not like the queen and others are going to sneak in some back door.
Where is the Royal Lodge? Did she drive out of that and then drive down the Long Drive?
I'm with Fashion Maven on this. One wedding I loved was all the guests arriving for Victoria and Daniel's wedding. They arrived spaced apart, walked towards the church, stopped for photo ops and kept going. We saw everyone arriving up close and personal.
That's kind of hard to do with Windsor but I'll be happy with whatever they give us. Each royal wedding I watch, I recognize more and more royals that aren't in the mainstream news here in the States.

There were spaced processions of foreign and local royals into the church not only at Victoria's, but also at Frederik's, Felipe's, Guillaume's and even Carl Philip's weddings. Harry and Meghan's wedding is meant to be a more low-key event, I think. In fact, if they could have it their way, I bet it would be an entirely private ceremony.

Who said, that Meghan and Harry's wedding is meant to be a low-key event? Or that they'd want a private ceremony? .
