Actually, I got it from the website www.angelfire.com/realm/beatrix1966/index.html


They have scanned the pictures there, so I must say it is there hard work and they receive all the credit for it. I am also sorry for not mentioning it before.
I posted the pictures last night and too tired to even know my name...lol..

Please check out the site, it has some wonderful information on Queen Beatrix and Prince Claus and some problems surrounding their wedding.

Does anyone know who designed Queen Beatrix's wedding dress? At the Glittering Royal Events MB, it was mentioned that Queen Beatrix helped to design her own dress (but with who?) because she couldn't find any dresses that she liked.

Also, can anyone tell me who Beatrix's attendants, page boys and flower girls were?

From what I have read on this subject, Queen Beatrix designed her dress with the help of Mrs. Caroline Bergé-Farwick of Maison Linette in Den Bosch. The design of the tiara (Diamond and Pearl Ornate Tiara) worn by Princess Beatrix was woven into the front of the skirt and into the train, which was 5 meters long and 2 meters wide.

Also, can anyone tell me who Beatrix's attendants, page boys and flower girls were?

The bridesmaids were Princess Christina of The Netherlands (bride's sister), Lady Elizabeth Anson, Joanna Elizabeth Roëll and Princess Christina of Sweden.

The page boys were Joachim Jencquel and Markus von Oeynhausen-Sierstorpff.

The flower girls were Daphne Stewart Clark and Carolijn Alting von Geusau.

The page boys and flower girls were watched over by Eugénie Mary Loudon and Christina von Amsberg.

Thanks for the great pictures everyone!:)

For those who are interested, the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision has digitally restored some footage from Beatrix & Claus's wedding.

They have also done the same for Juliana, Margriet and Irene's weddings.

They are quite fun to watch - everyone is so young, in love and less "polished" then they are today!

It is all in Dutch of course, but it is pretty easy to figure out what is going on.

The videos can be found at http://www.beeldengeluid.nl/templat...tie&artid=12585
