Suggestions for the wedding dresses of Victoria and Madeleine

[Josefine]

We have less then 355 days to talk about what dress we want her to wear.......

[lumutqueen]

Something classic elegant and modern.
Maybe by Valentino or a swedish designer.
Of course it has to be white not cream. And a beautiful veil, maybe the one her mother wore.
Something not too clutered with jewels.
I can't wait to see the real thing.

[Empress]

I think that it should not be stark white. Stark white only looks good on women with very dark complexions in my opinion. Something like what they call candlelight white in the states would be nice.

[4Pam]

I think something from Valentino or any major Swedish designer would be beautiful. I can't wait till her wedding see it all!

[Jacknch]

A smart skirt and jacket and pill box hat will do............only kidding!!!!

It's really hard to imagine what she will wear and what she will look like, but I guess once the designer has been announced it'll give some ideas. My initial thoughts gravitate towards: a style/scale similar to Princess Maxima with less lace; modern; made of the most expensive ivory silk; woven with a high thread count; a highly structured design. However, Victoria is very much in love and it could just as easily be a romantic, simple and very pretty style like Crown Princess Mette-Marit's dress.

She has some pretty steep steps to manage at the entrance to the church and the interior of the church (such as aisle) will give some clue as to the possible scale of the dress. One thing is for sure - whatever people think before the wedding, the dress will end up being a complete surprise!

I think it'll be very minimalist- no ornate lace and beading, very streamlined. Probably a Swedish designer (but whenever Princess Madeleine ties the knot, I'm sure we'll see something Valentino or Dior). Long sleeves, of course, with a very long train. Overall, I think the look will be understated and classy, not unlike the Princess herself.

Please, no Dior. Dior the borehouse. He can be a genius, yet he never shows it.
Badgley Mischka and Vera Wang are always very classy and suitable for a princess.

I personally would find a dress like this absolutely wonderful on a young bride;

Just nothing crazy for Victoria.

That dress would look INCREDIBLE on victoria. Whose the designer?
I think your right with Badgley Mischka and Vera Wang, it would be nice to Victoria in something designed by them

[principessa]

I guess the dress will be coloured in ivory or champagne, not in deep white and it will so beautiful that Daniel gets tears in eyes when the King is walking into church with Victoria.

[emmeleia]

I think she will wear her mother's veil

maybe also the tiara (I wish she didn't.. though)

and I believe that the wedding dress will be something between Silvia's wedding dress

and Maxima's
The Dutch Royal House

[Empress Merel]

I don't know who the designer is to be honest. I found it while looking on Google.
Victoria has the right profile and body to pull off the dress. And it doesn't have to be sleeveless or strapless. It can have the same sort of neck as Maxima's dress had. And it still would look great on her.
Victoria shouldn't go crazy with her dress and with Dior? It would go crazy. Dior has gone downhill really. He tries to be different from the rest and he is, but it isn't working.

Anyway, with a Maxima-like veil and a nice tiara. Maybe some very soft jewellry, nothing overdone and she'll be a fairytale bride.

[Josefine]

maybe add madeleine to this thread

victorias wedding its about 310 days away

Surprisingly I think she would look great in ice white. It is easy to think differently, sort of pale skin = champagne etc. but I had a great object lesson when my neice got married. She has very natural golden fair hair and her skin is almost transluescent, and so we thought not white as it would be overwheming so she tried on this fabulous ivory silk dress.

We were absolutely stunned and when she asked her mother and I what we thought and we told her the dress was magnificent, and would look absolutely fabulous walking up the aisle. Unfortunately we wanted to see the bride as well as the dress! She just sort of disappeared altogether. The colour totally overwhelmed her. Needless to say she ended up in stunning ice white which surprisingly gave her skin a wonderful blush glow.

But I think that Victoria has an innate sense of her own style and I expect her dress to be spectacular. So long as she does not develop a passion for bows . . . .

There's already a thread for Victoria but one for Maddie can't hurt.
They are lovely dresses .

[queenofthelight]

I'd vote for the last wedding dress, I think Princess Madeleine will be a fairy-tale princess in it!
For Princess Victoria, I'd advise to chose the second, she'll be one of the most beautiful royal woman!

sheer perfection and the absolute epitome of elegance but it is strapless and IMO a future Queen would not choose it...

Do you know its price???

I have no idea but the dress itself is beautiful. And like I said before; it doesn't have to be strapless.

And I love to see this dress on Madeleine; Penelope - by Maggie Sottero
Unlike Victoria I think she can totally get away with a dress more ''Sissi-like''

I really want to see Victoria in a regal wedding dress on her big day.
Something classic but modern at the same time.Designers I would suggest:Valentino,Vera Wang & Oscar de la Renta.I also like wedding dresses by Pronovias.

[Odette]

Victoria is an athletic looking girl who dresses mostly in simple lines.
I tend to believe it will be an elegant simple gown something similar to what Queen Silvia wore on her wedding day.
What I believe it will not be is a frou frou, lacy concoction with bows or flowers and petticoats.
