Swedish Royal Wedding: Swedish Royals

Posted on by

Royal Hats Leading a parade of royal guests today at the wedding of Prince Carl Philip of Sweden and Sofia Hellqvist were members of the Prince’s immediate family.

As she already wore the Nine Prong Tiara to Princess Madeleine’s wedding and the Braganza Tiara to Princess Victoria’s wedding, Queen Silvia predictably chose the last of her three large tiaras, the Leuchtenberg Sapphire Tiara. The blue sapphires were a sentimental choice for her only son’s wedding; the pairing of this tiara with Silvia’s lilac silk satin dress embroidered with lace, sequins and stones made for a very sparkly ensemble. King Carl Gustaf looked most handsome in the the mess dress uniform and cap of the Admiral of the Fleet circa 1878.

Crown Princess Victoria wore the Connaught Tiara for the first time. I thought the choice of this high, intricate tiara was a fantastic counterpoint to Victoria’s gown, an unexpectedly modern but ethereally beautiful choice from the H&M Concious Collection.  Princess Madeleine wore this tiara for the first time at Princess Victoria’s wedding and there is a lovely, sentimental note about Princess Victoria choosing to do the same for her brother’s wedding today.

Princess Estelle, along with the other bridesmaids, wore a white silk and Italian silk organza dress designed by Ida Sjöstedt. Her hair, cut in an adorable bob, was held off her face by a white Livly bow.

Princess Madeleine, who is due to deliver her second child any day, looked radiant in a pale pink silk dress with beaded bodice. She topped the gown with the Modern Fringe Tiara that she wore for her own nuptials just two years ago. The delicate fringe motif on the tiara is much softer than most royal fringe tiaras and as Madeleinie wears it often, it is a piece we have come to associate with her. In a fascinating historical touch, Princess Leonore wore a lace dress once worn by her great, great grandfather King Gustaf VI Adolf around 1884. She also sported a small white hair bow from Livly.

  1. Princess Madeleine looked SOOOOO pregnant. Her belly button even showed through! I wondered how long it really would be before she gave birth – guess we now know!!

  2. I’m really not a fan of Silvia’s drag queen dress – and I normally love her red carpet looks. It’s just a bit garish. I love Vic’s modern print, it’s a bold choice, but in movement it ha such beautiful flow. She needed to soften her hair for the Connaight though. And Madeleine looks fab – seriously that woman deserves a medal, she looks wonderful and the dress looks glamorous yet also comfortable, which I bet she was anything but!

  4. I think all three women looked beautiful. I really admire how the blue embroidery on Queen Silvia’s dress made it highlight the sapphires in her tiara. From the link, it seems she usually wears this tiara with a sapphire necklace but I think that would have been too much here.

    The other princesses looked good. I’m not sure about that pointy tiara on Princess Victoria. She has very angular features and I don’t think this tiara suits her very well.

    I loved the little girls dresses, especially Princess Leonore’s. What history!

  5. Princess Victoria looked AMAZING! I love the fussy loopy tiara with the mod dress. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE that she wore H&M! So fierce.

    Princess Madeleine must have wanted to stay home and put her feet up but she looked great. And the two little princesses? SO CUTE.

    Queen Silvia’s dress was way too shiny but she does shiny blingy dresses a lot, It just looks really dated. Her tiara is amazing!

    • Totally agree. Silvia needs to stop wearing satin. The 80s are over. Victoria wore the ugliest tiara but made it work. I love her dress. Princess Madde looked great too all things considered. She must be one of the most photogenic royals.
