I Often see that in serie films, I think every country has his use and it is normal, In France there are many uses for the bouquet, in the South of France, we don't offer our bouquet already after the wedding, we keep it during the evening and we offer our bouquet the to morrow to the virgin or to the patron of the town in the church, in other parts of France some bride keeps the bouquet and it is on the bed of the first baby, some like my daughter in law took it on the grave of her father who died some years ago. In Monaco Princess Grace , Princess Caroline offered the bouquet to the sainte devote after the wedding, it was an occasion for the people to see their princess and it will be the same thing for Charlene.

Will there be a LIVE INTERNET FEED from Monaco. Hope so as was able to watch Victoria of Sweden's wedding here in the UK but could not understand the language? I expect the Monaco wedding will be all in FRENCH in any case.

its great that the wedding will be an afternoon wedding, cause we will get the chance to see long dresses and maybe tiaras

This morning in Nice Matin, the palace announces that the dinner and the ball will take place at the Salle Garnier of the opera and the ball will be on the (terrasse) of the Casino, they cannot make the dinner and the ball at the oceanic museum because there are problems of the logistics, and it will be more easy for the hosts to go there.
There were already dinners in this salle for exemple a dinner with the crown princess Victoria od Sweden)

The evening of July 2, does not ultimately be held at the Oceanographic Museum as was originally envisaged. Yesterday, a statement from Prince's Palace stressed "following the logistical problems encountered in organizing the official dinner at the Oceanographic Museum Saturday, July 2, it was decided that the evening would be held in the Opera Garnier and the terraces of the Casino. This change of location will promote a more flexible management of the festivities. "

^Thanks!
I love that couple, MM and Haakon are cute.

Nadine · #**1257** 04-14-2011, 08:26 PM

ALL RIGHT!!!!

This is FAB news ~ the entire Swedish Royal Family will be there ~ including that foxy goodlooking Prince Carl Philip, lol.

Seriously, the more the merrier, I can't wait to see whom else is going. And I think it's great that Albert has invited more than two people apiece. This bodes well for the other royal families out there, mayhap he's even invited entire families!

Only thing I was a bit disappointed about was the change of location of the reception. I really wanted to see the Oceanographic Museum, but then when I looked at the pictures of where the locale has changed to, I was literally blown away!!!!! The new location has an equally stunning view of the sea, in fact it looks like the casino is literally floating on the sea if that's possible!

I'm so excited to see that we'll have at least one king and queen there!!

MRSJ · #**1259** 04-14-2011, 09:54 PM

Ooooh excellent to hear all who are going so far :) Sweden makes sense since they just went to Victorias and Daniels plus PA is a Ruling Sovereign so expecting lots of Kings Queens and royals!!!!!

I just realized that this will be the first House of Grimaldi Wedding of the 21st century, how cool is that!

So in honor of this magnanimous event, I found the following:

*recap of all the House of Grimaldi weddings since the invention of film*

YouTube - Monaco Weddings

And of special note, the following contains a picture of Princess Charlotte and Prince Pierre descending the stairs of the Palace Courtyard on March 19, 1920. The same exact stairs that Albert and his bride will be exchanging their wedding vows on:

More wedding pics from Princess Charlotte's glorious 1920 Wedding (btw I'm wondering if Charlene will be wearing anything of Charlotte's for her wedding to Albert, as in "something borrowed"

):

One final note, I think it would be really approprite for Charlene to wear Charlotte's Fringe Tiara, which she inherited from her father, whom inherited it from his mother Lady Mary Victoria Hamilton, whom married Prince Albert I of Monaco on September 21, 1869:

Here's a great article (accompanied with pics) of the history of the Fringe Tiara (the most prolific and popular of its kind; never goes out of style). There's even a pic of the Hanover Fringe Tiara:
