It's a pity that this thread is not in 2 parts: civil and religious wedding. I found lovely pictures from the civil wedding from the tv programm Blauwbloed.

I haven't looked through the entire thread, (only the first 300 odd pages!) so I'm not sure if this has been asked already, but are the Dutch Royal Family Catholic or Protestant? Or some completely different denomination?
As for the bride she looked stunning on the day of the civil ceremony, the outfit was lovely and the pillbox hat was destined to draw Jackie comparisons. She looked incredibly chic and even her wedding dress was quite simple. Although i thought it was a bit bland and boring, she's incredibly pretty so can carry it off. Plus it's a classic style of dress and at least she won't end up in one of the worst dressed bride threads!

Traditionally they were protestant (dutch reformed), there was a time when a dutch princess (Grand Duchess Sophie of Saxe-Weimar) bluntly refused to enter a catholic church with the explanation that she was an Orange-Nassau, but those days are gone.
Princess Irene and Princess Christina both converted to catholisism.
Maxima is catholic, so are Marilene, Aimee (and Anita?). The other members remain dutch reformed, Catharina-Amalia and Alexia are raised in that religion as well.

MissHelen & Ropura both noted that after the church wedding on Saturday the guests went to the Paul Fagel Restaurant. Is this normal procedure for a royal wedding - to go to a restaurant? I'm sure it was not your average restaurant & was quite fancy, but somehow I had assumed that they would be having a fine meal at Het Loo Palace.

They might not have thought the palace was appropriate because they are not members of the Dutch Royal House (but are obviously still in the royal family). A restaurant may have been their idea - perhaps they wanted to be a little more relaxed.

A slight correction: Pieter-Christiaan, Floris and Johan Friso are no longer part of the Dutch royal family/house, as are their aunts Irene and Christina. They remain however part of the Queen's family -- a very clear but distinct difference. So next April when it's Queen's Day, only members of the royal house will attend: Queen Beatrix, Margriet and Pieter van Vollenhoven, Willem and Maxima, Constantijn and Laurentien, Maurits and Marilene, and Bernhard Jr. and Annette.
Pieter-Christiaan and Anita did some of their formal portraits at a palace didn't they? The same palace where Willem and Maxima did those pictures for Vanity Fair a few years ago. I also remember a discussion about this over on the Benelux or Glittering Royal Events MB in which the consensus was that while Pieter-Christiaan was no longer part of the Dutch royal house, there was nothing stopping his aunt Beatrix from using the palace for a few hours for a private family occasion such as her nephew's wedding. So I don't think there was anything stopping Floris and Aimee from asking the Queen to use the palace for a few hours after their wedding for a reception rather than a restaurant, though it might've been their personal preference.

One can never be sure of that. Last year, Mabel and Friso acompagnied the Queen too at Queensday. But maybe that was because of her jubilee. I don't know.

Wasn't the party in the evening, where the jazz singer and big band appeared (sorry the names are escaping me) held at Het Loo? I wonder if they went to the restaurant by way of further honoring both the town of Naarden and a great master-chef, Paul Fagel.

Indeed Emily the party was in the evening at Het Loo in Apeldoorn. After the religious wedding they went to restaurant Fagel.

:) :) This is not the procedure go to the restaurant for the Royal Family.Normaly they go to the Palace for reception and diner.
Maybe because Prince Floris no more member of the Royal family.
I am not sure.
20 october after wedding at the city-hall of Naarden Prince Floris and Aimée van Sonhgen go to castle "Muiderslot" at the city of Muiden for reception.The castle is from 15th century build by ''Floris the fifth '' ( Floris-V).
Prince Floris has the same name.
