My favorites are as follows:

1. Princess Maxima
2. Princess Grace (close second)
3. Princess Margaret

Princess Alexandra of Kent had a beautiful veil set off by the wonderful Russian fringe tiara. She really was a very lovely bride.

Crown Princess Margarethe of Denmark

Is Queen Margrethe's veil the same as Princess Mary's?

Yes, Princess Mary wore the same wedding veil as Queen Margrethe at her wedding. The veil was first worn by Princess Margaret of Connaught upon her marriage to Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden in 1905. It has since then been worn by her daughter Queen Ingrid and grand-daughters, Queen Margrethe, Princess Benedikte, Queen Anne-Marie and later great grand-daughters Princess Alexandra of Berleburg and Princess Alexia of Greece. Wonderful tradition!!

I prefer the way Princess Mathilde arranged the veil on her wedding day, instead of the way Princess Claire did. I liked very much Maxima's.

I actually prefered the way Claire wore it; I believe that Mathilde and Paola wore it very similarly.

When I look at the pictures closely I do not think it is the same veil unless the border the lace is different at various places.

Mathilde has a sort of leaf pattern and Clair does not.

The way it is worn seems similar to me, the tiara is just different but I would love to hear what makes the difference.

Have a look at the veil of Grand Duchess Josephine Charlotte of Luxemburg

I'm new to Royalty, so I could be wrong, but perhaps then-Princess Elizabeth and Lady Diana Spencer wore tiaras because they had them in their family, whilst Sarah Ferguson did not?

[Empress Merel]

Sarah Ferguson first wore flowers to hold her veil and later, after the veil was removed, she wore a tiara. Information is on the previous page.

My all time favourite has to be Maxima's. It was just pure perfection.
