I just saw Queens Anne-Marie and Silvia and Princess Maxima singing Can''t help falling in love with you.
Children were singing a song in Swedeish and invitied the bridal couple on the stage. Finaly Queen Silvia was in tears and on a screan was writen Victoria + Daniel = SANT (I assume this means In Love ForEver?). Now the wonderfull concert is over. Looking forward to tomorriw.

Here''s Maxima and her diamond earrings:

Mary:

Princess Mathilde of Belguim wearing her simple diamond necklace:

Her sister-in-law Astrid in the splendid Aosta emeralds. It seem Imperial Highnesses were together. Imagine how poor Naruhito feels with all these tall people (no offence intended). I wonder who''ll be his lady at the wedding. Maybe they''ll follow tonight''s escorting or perhaps he''ll walk alone?

Anyway, here are the emeralds

 

[prince.of.preslav]

Two more of Maleine - si this the bracelet Jonas gave her? If so, I'm surprissed she's still wearing it.

 

[prince.of.preslav]

The rose brooch in her hair...seing both sisters wearing brooches in the hair, it makes me think if Queen Silva also wore one?

 

[prince.of.preslav]

Danish/German relatives - Pincess Benedikte wearing a pearl choker and bracelet and turquise/diamond earrings:

 

[prince.of.preslav]

Princess Alexandra wearing a diamond collet necklace (of her mother?):

 

[prince.of.preslav]

Miss Carina Axelson wearing a single strand of pearls:

 

[prince.of.preslav]

Soem Greek royal relatives - Princess Alexia and husband Carlos Morales:

 

[prince.of.preslav]

Prince Nikolas and his fiencee (ouu, I was about the write Princess!) Tatiana:

 

[prince.of.preslav]

Spain and Bulgaria - Infanta Elena and Princess Rosario. I think Elean wore emerald earrings; Rosario - diamond flower clusters. I think her dress is by Valentino (who else?):

 

[prince.of.preslav]

Yes! Letizia smiled and her hair didn''t look sloppy (hope for an up-do tomorrow); the dress is also nice. HRH wore long diamond earrings and her diamond bars bracelet:

 

[prince.of.preslav]

The Grand Ducal couple of Luxembourg - as I said before Maria Teresa wore the necklace and bracelet from the aquamarine parure:

 

[prince.of.preslav]

Last but not least, Princess Birgitta, sister of The King, and her husband Johann Georg of Hohenzollern. One can easily guess that she lives on Majorca:

 

[prince.of.preslav]

Did I say last? Well this is the last one. I promise! Here''s a close photo of the bride-to-be''s bracelet:

I saw a similar list on The Royal Forums....you are in agreeance with a lot of what they said!


I won't make my list quite so long, but I will go out on a limb a little


Sweden
HM The Queen - the Cameo

HRH The Crown Princess - Princess Lillian's laurel wreath

Denmark
HM The Queen - Okay, can't quite remember the right name, but it's the larger tiara with the drop pearls...I don't think it is the Palmette, but goodness knows I've been wrong before

Greece
HM The Queen - definately the Khedive as it has Danish roots

Spain
HM The Queen - Cartier diamond and pearl tiara (is this the same one you were referring to?)

Princess of Puke

I will be wearing my Tsarina of Teaching tiara as I watch the wedding on my computer!

Ok, I quite agree with you list, wich is good!
Here are my coments on you choises - I'd also like to see the laurel wreath tiara of Princess Lilian, but isn't it her personal property? Given her condition at the moment, I doubt she can deside wheither to loan it or not to Victoria. Furthermore, the Cameo was mentioned on the RF's website in the traditiones section...

Denmark - Yes, the pearl tiara isn't the Palmette. This is the Baden Palmette - Link. The large pearl tiara is the Orange Nassau or Pearl Poire tiara. It also has Swedish roots. After this night, I think we may see it tomorrow.

Sapin - there are three pearl and diamond tiaras in the Bourbon collection - two large and ome smaller. Here you can see the two large tiaras and understand which's who - Cartier tiara of Queen Ena and Pearl and diamond tiara of Queen Maria Cristina - I was reffering to the second, you - to the first.

Greece - maybe you mean Swedish roots for the Khedive? It was a wedding present to Princess Margaret of Connaught upon her marriage to Prince Gustaf Adolf od Sweden, great grandparents of the bride-to-be.

Looking forward to a photo of you with the tiara!

Bobby

Your explanation is simpler than what I was thinking of. Anne-Marie is the younger sister of Margarethe and got the Khedive via being a Princess of Denmark... Denmark is closer to Sweden than Greece is, I figured she wouldn''t wear a tiara that had Greek origins, that she''d wear something at least Scandavian.

Looking forward to a photo of you with the tiara!


Bobby

I''ll be sure to take one!

I love the color of this dress! The emeralds set it off beautifully!

I feel bad for Naruhito. I wish Masako could have been with him remembering their own wedding day. I always think of the quote that supposedly convinced Masako to marry him. He told her "I will protect you my entire life." He has certainly done that.

Just remember, short people are more down to earth!

Mette-Marit''s simple earrings:

I love her hair! It reminds me of a glamorous 1920''s flapper!

Prince Nikolas and his fiencee (ouu, I was about the write Princess!) Tatiana:

She is his princess...you would have been fine in my book saying Princess!

Is Tatiana wearing a strange metal necklace? Or is that somehow part of the dress? Kind of hard to see under the wrap. But again, the sapphire color is great! I can''t decide if I like this or Astrid''s emerald green better.

BTW, Bobby you are doing a fabulous job getting pictures up as they come in *bows down* You are so on top of things!!
