My thoughts on the day...
First the bride - I loved Aimee's outfit. While it wasn't something I'd pick for myself, it was quite nice and looked good on her. The hat is another story. I've never been a fan of the Jackie Kennedy-esque pill box hats. I think they look a bit silly.
Princess Margriet looked so exhuberant and every bit the happy mother. I wasn't a fan of the scarf that she tied around her neck.
The Queen looked especially lovely today. Her dress was just wonderful. I loved pink sash. I'm not a fan of hats in general, but I really liked her pink hat with the black rim around it. She just looked great.
I was happy to see Maria Carolina there today. We don't get to see enough of Princess Irene's children. She looked great as well. I really liked the pattern and embroidery on her outfit. Irene looked lovely as well in her purple outfit.
I thought that Marliene and Annette looked fabulous today, as always. (Well, with the exception of Marliene's flying saucer hat!) Annette consistantly picks lovely outfits and today was no exception.
Laurentien looked very lovely today. I've said it before, but she is definitely a hit or miss kind of girl. Either she looks fabulous, or her outfit is atrocious. I thought her dress was a little on the loud side, but the jacked did tone it down. It maybe wasn't the most appropriate outfit for the occasion, but it was nice all the same.
I wasn't a fan of Maxima's outfit. I think that Genevieve summed it up the best. That material did seem very heavy and was not in line with what we've come to expect from her.
I think Mabel had the worst outfit today. She looked a bit like a dalmation.
I'm starting to think that Annette has the same stylist as Mabel and Laurentien. Her outfit was just awful as well. The pattern looks like something you'd see on kitchen wallpaper and it was made worse by the fir trim. Even worse was the "hat". It blended in with the color of her hair and she looks like she has feathers sticking out of her ear.
I can't wait for Saturday now.
