Best Royal brides and wedding dresses

[galuhcandrakirana]

Princess Alexandra de Danemark, She was smiling all the time; She looked very happy and bright even the wedding was in cold November.

I also think that Camilla looked extraordinary at her blessing! The hair piece could have been toned down a tad, but none the less, extraordinary!

[michelleq]

This is my favorite royal bride!

My favorite royal wedding dresses are as follows:

• Princess Sophie of Liechtenstein
• Princess Mary of Denmark
• Queen Fabiola of Belgium

Of a older bride is Princess Grace and Queen Sonja my favorites! Sonja did design her wedding dress herself (Ordinary school and vocational training in dressmaking and tailoring, then diploma from Ecole Professionelle des Jeunes Filles in Lausanne, Switzerland) and Grace was just... perfect!

Of a younger bride is Mette-Marit and Maxima my favorites!

Princess Grace and Queen Margethe both looked lovely on their wedding.

I also really liked Princess Letizia, Princess Rym, Farah Daghestanis' dress and Princess Alexandra of Denmark; her dress was quite big but she ust radiated happiness.

And a special Camilla who looked lovely Unlike most Royal brides she didn't have youth or beauty on her side and still managed to look elegant, graceful and stylish.

fabiola also looked so princessy... :)

i think camilla's choice was a really good one. the colour was perfect for a second wedding and the dress was marvellous.

wonderful wonderful topic, even though as a 'commoner', 'in real life' I would rather favor simple Carolyn Bessette dresses I think.

But..if I were to wed royalty...and would go for tradition..here are the brides I would try to emulate, because of their amazing looks/outfits:

'old' bride:
*GRACE KELLY.

Hands down. THe best traditional bride of the 20th century.
Runners up are Fabiola and all three Danish brides, plus princess Irene of the Neth.

Modern brides are more difficult, because so many of them looked sooo stunning. But if I really really had to choose, it would be:

*CLAIRE OF BELGIUM.

First choice: Claire. Second choice: Claire. Third: why'd you have to guess? Clair e o f course. Why? Because when I first saw a picture of her as a bride, my very first thoughts were: "Now THIS is bridal perfection."

Couple of thoughts:

a lot of turn-of-the-20th-century brides were even more amazing than the modern ones, maybe we could make a separate thread for them. Just from the top of my head,
Wilhelmina of the Netherlands
Zita of Austria
Astrid of Belgium
and on and on.

Also, I'd love a thread just about bridal VEILS. What d you all think? As far as veils go, my favorites are:
Maxima
Silvia
Sophie Wessex (yes take a look at the ethereal quality of the thing, just amazing!)

Okay, here are my top 5:

1. Princess Grace
2. Francesca Thyssen (marrying Karl von Habsburg in 1993)
3. Märtha Louise
4. Letizia
5. Sophie Wessex

Here are some pics of Francesca, it looks like a fairy-tale-dress, close to the border of Edelkitsch, but I somehow like it.

I like Maxima, Francesca Thyssen, Mette Marit, Princess Margaret, Serena Vicountess Lindley they were very nice.

[crisiñaki]

My favorites are:
1. Infanta Cristina of Spain: everything was perfect; dress, tiara, jewelry, make up and husband
2. Queen Margrethe of Denmark (her hot hubby was the best accesory )
3. Grace Kelly: how can one person be that beautiful and elegant, still a mystery to me

Princess Claire and Princess Maxima were very beautiful as well!

[Maxie]

Of the older brides I loved Queen Fabiola, Princess Margaret, Queen Margrethe and princess Irene of the Netherlands, but Fabiola is my absolute favourite! Such a great and timeless dress!

The modern brides, eh well... that's difficult. I liked a lot of dresses. I adored Maxima's of course, but I also think Laurentien looked great on her wedding day (she should wear Natan more often :p). Claire is a great favourite of mine too, as was Infanta Cristina. Very difficult to say which if them looked the best. I think I would have to go for Claire too.

(So my favourite brides stay within de Belgium royal family...)
