I like her dress very much, but I would have liked the bouquet better if there were more and bigger blooms on it. It looks too "green-y" to me.

I do hate Mathildes wedding dress and her bouquet, but Mathilde did look really good! Her bouquet was to big.. but as they say in Scandinavia, Alt klaer den smukke (Everything look good at the stunning).. :)

I was looking at pictures of Mathilde and Phillippe's wedding on another board and was wondering if there had ever been published pictures of the gown or sheath underneath the jacket of Mathilde's wedding gown?

Martha Louise of Norway, for example had a similar exterior jacket but for the fireworks and cake cutting part of her wedding removed the jacket to reveal a tank-style dress underneath her jacket that was worn for the church and formal pictures.

How about Mathilde's?
