www.ibl.se - Crown Prince Felipe of Spain at Willem and Maxima's wedding.
I noticed that at Phillippe and Mathilde of Belgium's wedding all the men wore the purple Belgian sashes (except for Haakon who wore a red one) but at Willem and Maxima's and Haakon and Mette-Marit's wedding everybody wore the sash of their own country. What is the protocol for weddings? Or is it the couple's choice?

You wouldn't be able to post pictures of those, would you?
I confess, I have this weakness for colour, patterns, and geometry ....

No, that's a British sash Prince Michael of Kent is wearing. The Duchess of Gloucester is wearing a similar sash in a picture above (before) it.

Yes, that last one is the Norwegian order (the highest I think). They reward another one to lesser royals, e.g. Laurent and Claire of Belgium that is dark blue (the order of the North Star or Polar Star or something like that).
The orange one with the blue edges that Philippe of Belgium and Don Felipe are wearing at Willem Alexanders wedding is most likely Dutch.
The red ones in the picture of Queen Mum, the Queen and Prince Philipp are German. Queen Mum probably wears the Order of the Garter sash (I know that this one is dark blue). She probably never got/accepted a German order!! Her dislike of everything german is well known.
Spanish orders
Order of Carlos III is pale blue with a white central stripe
Order of Hermenegildo is magenta with white stripes/edges
Order of Isabella la Católica is yellow with a white central stripe
Naval order of Merit is red and yellow. That might be the sash Felipe wears on that Vanity Fair photo.
That's what I found out, but I didn't find additional pics for Isabella la Católica. And I still don't know what's that simple pale blue one.

The order Prince Michael of Kent and the Duchess of Gloucester are wearing is the Royal Victorian Order. Most members of the British Royal Family have this order. The Duchess of Kent, Prince Edward, Prince Andrew, and the Dowager Duchess of Gloucester have this order as well as others. Both Princess Anne and Princess Alexandra had this order before they recieved the Order of the Garter. The next person to get this order will probably be the Countess of Wessex.
