CrownPrincess Juliana of the Netherlands & Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld -1937

[Marengo]

At the wedding concert princess Juliana wore the old version of the emeralf tiara, with three prongs. Later two prongs were removed, but a few years ago two different ones have been added again.

During her wedding Juliana wore the five diamond rose brooches, connected with small pearls. The rose is in the famiy coat of arms of the house of Lippe. The brooches were bought at Mellerio and a gift from king Willem III to queen Emma.

The announcement led to spontanious celebrations i The Hague and all over the country, as can be seen in the clip too. Afterwards the clip also shows the couple in the garden of a palace, the carriage ride through The Hague, going to church, and fireworks

I thought Queen Juliana's dress was gorgeous! But I do NOT think that it did HER justice. It was wrong & ill fitted for her body I believe, but the fabric and design were sumptuous indeed.

I loved her wedding gown!

The wedding looked beautiful. I don't know if it is the pictures or not, but Crown Princess Juliana looked out of it. Is there a reason because of it? Also, was there a English royal at the wedding?
