Once inside, the garlands also climb the organ loft above the guests' seats.

The arrangement was composed by floral designer Philippa Craddock, whose company is the supplier for the V&A, Kensington Palace, Banqueting House, and Hampton Court Palace.

Guests are expected to arrive at the chapel from 9.30-11 a.m. (GMT), and the ceremony itself will start at 12 p.m.

According to CNN, Megan and her mother were not satisfied with the floral arrangement the day before the wedding.

"The problem wasn't the flowers themselves - they thought they looked beautiful - but they didn't feel that there were enough of them," CNN's Clarissa Ward reported.
