She looks to be across the table from Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.

(Just gotta say I'd be ticked if one of those waiters was blocking my view of the head table.)
 
Thank you Elie Saab for bringing out the beauty in so many attendees!

Stephanie gets first prize, I love that she's silver and her MIL is gold
runners up are Marie-Chantal and Princess Caroline and Sybilla too for her tiara and brooch!:flowers:
Only thumbs down for Mary, weird bodice on her dress and hair too ott, bride of frankenstein.:ohmy:
 
Was Queen Margrethe there, and if so, can someone post a picture?
 
Who was at the head table? I can not seem to find a full picture to see everyone.

you can see Margrethe's head in this photo: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gU4u5yGJA_4/UIHmTqgT1pI/AAAAAAAABAw/2BN_ipNWaVg/s1600/23+GALA+DINNER+_Cour+Grand+Ducale+Guy+Wolff.jpg

She's at the head table to the far left (to the left of the last candlestick). Looks like she's wearing her floral tiara.

this is the closest I've seen: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gU4u5yGJA...+GALA+DINNER+_Cour+Grand+Ducale+Guy+Wolff.jpg

looks like all of the reigning monarchs & their spouses, plus the father of the bride (and maybe a sister I think?), and I think the Luxembourg PM. But it is hard to tell. I can definitely spot Sonja, Margrethe, & Henri at the head table.

Mathilde and Marie-Chantal and Princess Stephanie were best dressed. But I have to say,e even with Maxima's overblown opulence, eveyone looks very good IMO.

I agree with your choices! I think I want to add Princess Miriam of Bulgaria, even though I thought her gown looked a little "bridal" at first glance.

Best in bling goes to Princesses Sibilla and Caroline...omg!! I almost fainted when I saw those enormous sapphires on Sibilla's head! And Caroline was literally dripping with diamonds...so beautiful!

Stephanie's gown with it's plunging back shocked me, but in a good way. She looked exactly the way she should have looked tonight...radiant, elegant, beautiful.

What a party! What a night! It's like everyone realized that this was going to be the last big Royal Wedding in Europe for a long while...so they pulled out the stops. I really was expecting a more subdued looking group due to the recent tragedy in the bride's family, so my expecations have been waay surpassed. I can't wait until tomorrow! :ROFLMAO:

Letizia and Felipe are due to arrive for today's festivities. No royals from Dubai or Qatar are listed on the guestlist. Correction: The Prime Minster for Qatar is representing his royal family.
