Royal Bridesmaids
I was wondering if it would be possible to start a thread with pictures of the bridesmaids outfits worn for royal weddings. If anybody could post clips/photos I would be grateful.
Thanks

This is a GREAT idea!
Sarah & Andrew's wedding was in the height of the 80's, but the bridesmaids still looked very cute! I really liked the floral wreathes in their hair. The bridesmaids at Andrew and Sarah's wedding were: Lady Rosannah Innes- Kerr (daughter of friends) Alice Ferguson (Sarah's younger step-sister) Zara Phillips Laura Fellowes (daughter of Jane and Robert Fellowes, Diana's sister) http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...chmentid=68250 http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...chmentid=68759 http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...chmentid=68767 http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...chmentid=68800 In comparison, Diana's bridesmaids 5 years earlier were in much "fussier" dresses and seemed to be mini versions of her dress: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...chmentid=68135 http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...hmentid=185143 http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...chmentid=64820 http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...chmentid=65032 http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...chmentid=65050 Some of my favourite bridesmaids were Lady Frances Armstrong-Jones, Zara Phillips and Tara Noble at Sarah Chatto's wedding: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...hmentid=109418 http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...hmentid=109495 http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...hmentid=109496 http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...hmentid=109503 http://img251.imageshack.us/my.php?i...riving21xi.jpg In comparison, I didn't like the outfits worn by Serena Linley's bridesmaids- they look very austere and not really suited to children! Maybe she was trying to contrast their very plain outfits against her spectacular dress? http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...chmentid=99611 http://img283.imageshack.us/my.php?i...ntering9pz.jpg http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...chmentid=99529 http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...chmentid=99623 http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...hmentid=103417 Eliza Last edited by Elsa M.; 05-23-2006 at 04:22 PM.

look at little Zara Phillips at Prince Andrew's wedding. I forgot she was in it. Without a doubt, favorite bridesmaid's dresses were at Lady Sarah's. How utterly classic and beautiful!

I loved Maxima's bridesmaid's dresses- what a beautiful colour for this winter wedding! Does anyone know who they were and what their relationship was to the couple?

Does anyone have pics (or the link) of the Earl Spencer's wedding? Not sure if he qualifies for this thread. But I did love the outfit that Prince Harry wore. I believe they were taken from an actual painting from Althorp.

Laurentien's bridesmaids had simple dresses... the colour was a little more unique.

I believe the children above were:
Eleanor Fellowes (daughter of Diana's sister Jane) Prince Harry Alexander Fellowes (Eleanor's older brother) Emily McCorquindale (daughter of Diana's sister Sarah). This seems to be Regency period costume- on the second page of the Charles Spencer and Victoria Lockwood wedding thread on this site www.theroyalforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4098&highlight=Victoria+Lockwood one of the members posts that "the outfits were inspired by two paintings hanging at Althorp House. The pageboys outfit was inspired by a Joshua Reynolds 1779 portrait of Lord Althorp." I hope that helps as well! Eliza

Thanks Eliza and Azile1710! I tried to find the pics on the board but I am fairly new and still trying to find my way. I believe those outfits will age well when the pics are pulled out twenty years from now. Thanks again :)

The dresses from Pieter-Christiaan and Anita's wedding two weeks ago seemed very fresh and light:

Does that help? Maybe someone else has some fashion terminology to help? Eliza

The other two Dutch weddings in recent memory had plainer bridesmaid's dresses (and fewer bridesmaids!):
Maurits and Marilene http://img372.imageshack.us/my.php?i...urch1281ty.jpg http://img372.imageshack.us/my.php?i...rch101b2nb.jpg I don't think that Bernhard and Anette had any bridesmaids. And Mabel and Frisco; (lots of bows, obviously Mabel's desire!) http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...hmentid=196391 http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...hmentid=196287 http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...hmentid=195953 I didn't like the dresses of the adult bridesmaids- they seemed austere and rather boring with the dark skirts. But, that's just my opinion! Haakon & Mette Marit's wedding was more formal, and this was reflected in the clothing of the bridesmaids and Marius: http://img175.imageshack.us/my.php?image=343js.jpg http://img309.imageshack.us/my.php?i...can00077gs.jpg http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...hmentid=175061 I think the most lovely bridal party was that of Sarah Chatto (nee Armstrong-Jones). Beautiful dresses and lovely flowers: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forum...chmentid=109418 http://img251.imageshack.us/my.php?...rriving21xi.jpg Eliza Last edited by Elsa M.; 05-23-2006 at 04:23 PM.

My favorite so far has got to be Sarah and Andrew's! Even though it was the 80's the girls looked cute in the dresses and they weren't over done or too plain.
