April 29th marks the big day when Prince William and Catherine Middleton get hitched at Westminster Abbey with the eyes of the world upon them. In case you're planning your own Royal Wedding party, we've rounded up some sources for servingware and decorations covered in crowns and Union Jacks. Cheers!
- Plum Party: This webshop has a whole minisite full of Royal Wedding party supplies, including bling rings, party crowns, and even Kate and William teabags.
- Joanne Hudson Basics: If you're looking for Union Jack servingware and dinner plates, this Philadelphia-based webshop carries Emma Bridgewater's Royal Wedding collection. Shown above: Union Jack Picnic Plate, $13.

- Decorative Things: This "virtual home decor store" has a Royal Wedding minisite, where you can find Union Jack Flag Pillows for $79.
- Etsy: They have lots of handmade Royal Wedding paraphernalia, but double-check the seller's contact info before you buy, since much of it comes from the UK and may not be able to ship to the states in time. Shown: William and Kate Royal Wedding Tea Towel, $16.

I never comment, but...
I saw the Union Jack pillows (and lavender bags, etc) in Photo 4 at the British Museum gift shop in London while on vacation. I didn't have the room in my suitcase (or tons of spare money) to get one then. I didn't know who made them (Jan Constantine) and have literally been looking online for them for a few years. Thanks for posting this!
OMG thank you AP!! Just bought the tea towel in 5. Hehehehe
ahaha this is excellent! Any excuse for a party, right?
My god. It's bad enough having to listen, watch and read this clap tap here in the UK. Not on AT please.
Good lord, underthesun, you can get it for less than 80 bucks, surely. If not make friends with one of us UK residents and it can be posted.
Underthesun, if you do a search on ebay.co.uk for 'tapestry cushions' or 'tapestry cushion covers' you will see a huge range of them. I'll bet that most (if not all) sellers would be happy to ship to the US. If you get just the cover, rather than the whole cushion, this will reduce postage rates, too.
Never into it to begin with; sick to death of it already.
Not to brag, but my living room already has little touches of British royalty built incorporated into the decor. I'm not really seeing anything mentioned that I would want to buy.
So many of you are so grouchy. I'm looking forward to the royal wedding. The Queen is an icon of our time and now a new generation is entering. In a world with so much negative and sad stuff, why hate on an international celebration of something fun?
My girlfriend picked up a few ideas from mydeco.com's shop: http://us.mydeco.com/shopping/mydeco-boutique/
The royal wedding offends me. Boo.
Thank you, gochrisgo. So much grouchiness on the Internet! Lighten up, everyone!
