Prince Floris of Orange-Nassau and Aimée Söhngen: October 20 and 22, 2005

[Gabriella]

I think you are talking about Anita. For, Annette wasn't wearing a wallpapery pattern. Anita looked like she had feathers sticking out of her ear.

*Smack on the head* You're right. That is who I was referring to. I just wrote the wrong name. Thanks for correcting me.

 

[Katrianna]

I agree with you all in that Mabel's outfit was a BAD fashion statement. She looked so frumpy in it. If someone tried to tell me I looked good in that, I'd ask him/her what planet they just landed from! I was looking at the marriage pictures on royalportraits.nl and there was one of Maxima and it looks to me that the outfit we see is a coat because I can see a dress underneath when it is parted as she's walking. I still think the coat is too heavy for the occasion.

Are these Aimee's parents and brother and sister? Good looking brother!

 

[Marengo]

yes they are her parents and siblings

 

[hilal]

Yes, I agree... Princess Aimée the new Jackie Kennedy! Aimée is bruenett, elegantly, classically Beauty.

She does look like our former First Lady with the little pill box hat. Very smart and classic in terms of the choice of outfit.

Elegance and sweet Anita



I think Princess Aimée's only face like Jackie Kennedy

 

[Athena]

Please Enough of the Jackie Kennedy comparisons. These woman cannot even hold a candle to Jackie.

Give it up, already...you're embarrassing yourselves as usual.

 

[lashinka2002]

Everything about the bride was stunning! I'm just dying to see the dress underneath her jacket!

I think the outfit did resemble outfits worn by the late First Lady, and making comparisons is not embarrassing, rather it's flattering to the bride.
I, personally, think the First Lady would have been flattered, not insulted, to be remembered for her style all of these years later, especially since style leaves alot to be desired these days.

Amen! Couldn't agree with you more, Layla1971!

 

[susan alicia]

Layla,

do not think the bride really resembeled the jackie look even if I did make the comparison,
it lacked the clean simple lines of Halston and Valentino etc.

(thought Anita dressed terribly yesterday btw, like a coat cleaningladies wear only difference is that there were pieces of mink on it and Mabels colour of lipstick looked practicallly predatious)

I'm not sure I exactly understand what you mean, but this is how it goes: over here it's quite normal to have a civil wedding first and after that a church wedding. And more and more people are having only a civil wedding, I believe. I don't know much married people of my age and a bit older (between 25 and 30) who married for the church after being married in a civil ceremony.

So they're properly married after the civil wedding, and the church wedding is simply a religious occasion that doesn't affect their legal status, is that how it works?

Yes, I suppose so. But that's just how I (an unmarried girl ) always understood it...

Yes, I do agree that the lines weren't as good as Velentino, and also Herrera, but the idea was there.
And, obviously, there was a similarity because we are talking about it!

 

[susan alicia]

Layla, your postings are very diplomatic

looking forward to tomorrow's outfits

Are these Aimee's parents and brother and sister? Good looking brother!

I don't know who they are, but the woman in the green and white looks wonderful. The Dutch Princesses should take a hint on how to dress for such an an occasion from her. I love that hat!

It's a complete guess, but could they be Aimée's parents, her brother, and sister?

 

[Emily]

Yes, I think Aimee's mother seems to look wonderful! Does anyone have a full length photo of her from yesterday -- I'd like to see the whole outfit but there don't seem to be any good pictures that I have found.

It isn't full length, and you may have already seen it, but there is this picture.
It gives a more close-up look.

We were talking about her choice of an outfit and hair style being similar to Jackie's is all.

 

[BeatrixFan]

Re:

I agree. She looks very beautiful and it's a very very Jackie Onassis style. The hat could well have been sported by Jackie and the hair seems to be a Jackie-style too.

It's a very refreshing change of wedding outfit. These white lacy creations can become tiresome after a while!

 

[Emily]

Oh, Layla, thank you for posting that picture! It is one I have already seen and I am just wondering if there is a photo of her from hat to shoes -- I am curious to see the whole ensemble and also to see if there is a subtle green in her suit. I know, I'm being picky -- I am just curious. Seeing her explains why Aimee has such nice dress sense.

Not so fast! There's still the white wedding to come!

Oh dear. Another royal cupcake

Emily, I found the pictures you are looking for (I hope!).

I'm sorry, but I tried to put the picture in the post without any luck.
The 2nd, and 3rd pictures on the top row of page 7 give a full-length look.
If you click on the picture it will show an enlarged version.
Hope it helps you.

Re:

Queen Beatrix looks very elegant! Brilliant choice.

 

[Marengo]

Not to be nasty, but Mabel looks a bit 'gothic' with that blackish lipstick and the dark circles under her eyes, maybe Luana keeps her awake at night?

 

[Layla1971]

no offence

Yeah, I don't mean any offence, and I must apologize is advance, but waiting to see the outfits of the Dutch women is like waiting to see what your friends will wear to a costume party.

 

[Emily]

Ja, Ja, Ja Layla! Those are the pictures I was hoping to get. Thanks!
