Harry and Meghan tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony over the weekend, and it's now been revealed that a collection of their wedding flowers have been donated to a London hospice.
Following Harry and Meghan's Royal nuptials on Saturday 19 May at St George's Chapel, the blooms used to decorate were re-homed and are now with the residents of St Joseph’s Hospice.
The flower arrangements were from royal florist Philippa Craddock and included an array of beautiful pink roses as well as white blossoms, foxgloves and peonies too, complete with oodles of greenery as well as beech, birch and hornbeam.
The health care facility announced on Facebook on Sunday that the staff had just received the 'very special delivery' of 'beautiful bouquets made from the #royalwedding flowers'.

'A big thank you to Harry and Meghan and florist Philippa Craddock,' staff at St. Joseph’s wrote. 'Our hospice smells and looks gorgeous. Such a lovely gesture.'
Harry and Meghan’s flowers carried special significance even before they were donated after this week’s nuptials.
Among the different kinds of plants were white garden roses, beloved by the late Princess Diana.
Not only did Meghan’s wedding bouquet have flowers hand picked by her groom, they also included a reference to her late mother-in-law, featuring forget-me-nots, another one of Diana's favourites.
Prince Harry, 33, and 36-year-old Meghan Markle tied the knot in Windsor Castle, at St George's Chapel on Saturday 19 May, with the world's media watching.
Sadly Meghan's father couldn't make the wedding due to health complications. The bride walked the aisle solo, meeting her future father-in-law half way down.
