Well, it could be..... King Carl Gustav´s Wedding was also a morning event (Long dresses and hat) -- and he even was the reigning king at this time -- and Victoria´s was an afternoon (i.e. Tiara) wedding!
Oooh, I´d looooove to have another tiara wedding! Or at least a pre-wedding Tiara event!
Bye Bine
Here are 5 photos of Kate in the Strathmore tiara and Philippa Lepley dresses that I think would look great on her.

Kate Middleton: who will design the dress of the century? - Telegraph
So many options to choose from! While I'm in favor of her going with a more established designer (Vivienne Westwood, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, or Stella McCartney), if economy is important a lesser-known designer is probably better. I can wait patiently.
Not necessarily. He wouldn't be the first child to use the ring of a deceased parent or relative. Didn't Camilla's ring used to be the Queen Mother's?
Controversial to some but to William she is his beloved mother.
So I guess it all about personal preference. I see nothing wrong with Kate being given Dian's ring.
I agree with that as well. It's simply that my first reaction was --- this isn't about Kate, it's about Diana. I still feel that way even though I slept on it.
Here are my thoughts: I think she will wear a tiara that's a gift from the Queen or from the Prince of Wales -- not the Spencer tiara not the Lover's Knot (although I think she will wear the latter on other occasions). Her dress will not be a puffy creation -- much more streamlined. The wedding will be in Westminster Abbey. Harry will be his supporter; she will not have adult bridesmaids but children -- I suspect the Linley, Chatto, and Wessex children -- although Edward and Sophie are obsessive about protecting their children.
As for the dress, I should think Bruce Oldfield is a bit "old hat" by now. I do think Ms. Middleton will choose a slim, simple, sophisticated dress, since that is her style, though whatever she wears will have to play well at a distance and on television. The most elegant dress worn by a member of the family in recent years -- my opinion only, of course -- was Lady Rose Windsor's. It was the sort of thing I can imagine Middleton selecting.
dont think the marriage will last. I think they might not be a monarchy to last I hope it will but I will be going over to school next year at AIU london maybe I will see the wedding, but a lot of people don`t even want a royal family anymore
I don't think Diana had a whisker of selection of anything except her wedding gown. But then, she knew pretty much nothing of protocol of royal stuff, nor of the church. Charles picked all the music, the soloist, the readings, etc.
I think Catherine would be lovely in pearls. She just hasn't tried them yet.
I don't think there's anything "cheesey" about a new tiara...not at all. I think it would be spiffy to have a "Catherine" tiara.
My guesses/suggestions:
When: between 15th May (Football Final) and 10th June (Prince Philips birthday)
Time: morning, so guests in daytime outfits (no long dresses and no tiara's)
Where: Westminster Abbey
Dress: a british designer
Tiara: Lover's knot
Best man: Harry (Can you have more than one? Then maybe Peter Philips too)
Bridesmaids: Kate's sister and a friend
Flower girls and pageboys: a mixture of little Windsors, Spencers, Middletons and godchildren
Where do you all think they will live after their marriage?
...
Possible Unusual People Invited: Mohamed Al Fayed, Trevor Rees-Jones, Victoria Lockwood Aitken (Spencer), Caroline Freud (Spencer), Andrew Parker-Bowles, Peter Shand Kydd, Raine, Dowager Countess Spencer,
Whoa! I can't imagine that Mohamed Al Fayed would EVER be invited to a royal wedding???
That is already known, they will live in North Wales.
