Thanks for being the first to post a photo of the happy couple, Marengo. Aimée looks fabulous! The hat is really lovely, and the colour of her whole outfit is great. Not a lot of people can pull off orange’s. It looks like it’s pink underneath as well. Very nice. Can’t wait to see more.

I just saw it on television! So lovely, Aimée's outfit! I really love it. :)

The bride looks lovely (as always), the queen looks elegant as well, but....what was Maxima thinking? The outfit is ugly and the thin hair from under the hat, eugh! She can do much better then this.

Danielle · #8 10-20-2005, 07:18 AM

No, I'm not liking CP Maxima's outfit either. from what I can see, the jacket looks like it is a little suffocating. Her smile makes up for it though. Queen Beatrix looks really lovely as well! I just can't get over how pretty Aimée looks. I wish my hair would look like that when I wanted it too. :p

Well, I totally agree with you! What an ugly jacket. It makes her look old. Love the hat though. And the Queen looks very elegant, that's for sure. Just curious: did anyone catch a glimpse of Laurentien? :p

think the colourcomibination of pink and orange is pretty.
The materials are

. Wonder who designed it, Sheila de Vries? That would account for the common looking materials.
The design itself looks a bit like Jacky Kennedy, pill box hat and Aimee has the same brown hair like Jacky.

Maxima looked beautifull a while ago in with the green hat. Today she is dressed like a little old lady, grey can be glamorous but not this grey .

BTW, I do think the bride looked great, the colors combined well IMO.
Queen Beatrix looked very good, and Princess Maxima could have made a better choice, the coat looks like it's almost choking her!

After seeing the close-up pics, I think Aimée is very pretty, they seem to make a great couple. Good luck to them both!

The lady in purple is Princess Irene, sister of Queen Beatrix and her son James. The lady in green is Princess Margriet also Queen Beatrix's sister. The lady in black is Princess Annette, one of Princess Margriet's daughter-in-law.
I absolutely love Aimee's outfit, it does suits her really well and lovely, the colour the hat and the style, everything so wonderful!
It's really good to see Princess Irene attends this time's Wedding.She is wearing her outfit that she wore to Queen Beatrix's Silver Jubilee.She does looks fresh and lovely.
I like Queen Beatrix's hat this time, its beautiful and she does looks great and elegant too.
I have no idea with Maxima's outfit this time,it seems looks a bit boring.
