Kate had no choice when it came to what her bouquet would look like. All royal brides enter the ceremony with a branch of myrtle, which is a symbol of good luck and happiness in marriage.

This tradition began with Queen Victoria, who received a myrtle as a gift from the groom's grandmother. Now the myrtle is taken from a tree growing in the royal garden.
