Getting Married at the Same Wedding Venue as Your Cousin? Here's How to Make It Your Own
While we were extremely excited to find out that another royal wedding is on the horizon—that of Princess Eugenie, who announced her engagement this week—another detail about her big day caught our attention too: She has booked the same chapel as her cousin, Prince Harry. And the two high-profile weddings are to take place only several months apart.
It is somewhat strangely comforting to know that even royals are not immune to the same problems us commoners have to deal with, like, how do you make sure your wedding looks totally different from your friend's/relative's/royal cousin-in-law's when they're both taking place at the same venue?

"Consider placing two large centerpieces on either side of the entrance or having a floral focal point in the form of a lush photo backdrop or bridal table. This will ensure that you’re guiding [your guests] through a different experience from the moment the wedding begins."
She also suggests opting out of the regular table centerpieces and, instead, going for hanging ones. They not only make for absolutely breathtaking decor elements but are also quite practical since they will not take up any of your table space
