What date do you thgink it will be

June 19th is a low odds why
June th is on a Saturday 2010
The wedding day of King Carl Gustaf and Silvia 1976
The wedding day of King Karl XV and Lovisa 1850

Church
Storkyrkan
Storkyrkan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

is there any other alternatives in Stockholm if you think about the history and the amount of seats it takes?

I do not think the crown Princess will walk doen the aile with her father
i think she will walk togather with daniel or by her self.

Wedding Dress ; Probebly a swedish Desuiger
Pär Engsheden!
Lars Wallin

Her mother had Dior

Tiara; the odds on the Cameo tiara but ia m not to sure, i think maybe connaugh tiara its a bit softer and not as heavy easier to find a wedding dress to the iara. I think Carl Gustafs sister Christina wore the connaugh tiara, the other wore the cameo tiara
 
For an early summer wedding, I think June 5th or June 12th would be ideal. However, as June 19th is just a couple of days before mid-summers night, it could be a romantic time to get married and the party could go on all night!

I think the wedding will take place in Storkyrkan as it looks to me like the biggest church in Stockholm - the other's seem slightly smaller to me and the more space the better!

I think Victoria will be given away by her father and walk down the aisle with him - but if not, it would be great for the happy couple to meet at the entrance and walk down together. I cannot imagine she will walk down the aisle on her own unless it's a Swedish tradition?!
 
Of course the wedding's ceremony will take place at the cathedral of Stockholm, near the royal palace!

Do you think the dinner and party will be at the royal palace or at Drottingholm???

I guess she will wear a dress made by a swedish designer!

The wedding will be at the end of may or at the beginning of june I guess
 
Wedding Day June 22 shell walk with her Father what are the Wedding vows for the Church of Sweden?
 
I really hope that she wears a dress designed by a Swedish designer, especially since she will one day be the Queen of Sweden. For some reason, I cannot imagine her walking down the aisle with anyone but her father. They seem to have a close, loving relationship.
 
There is no Tradition of giving the bride away in Sweden. Most likely she walk down the aisle with Daniel. Also the King and Queen walked down the aisle together and Silvia was not given away by her father.
 
Father giving the birde away though tradition sends the wrong kind of message for the first woman who will be soverign despite the presence of a fully capable brother.
 
I personally would hope she doesn't wear the Cameo Tiara for the wedding. I think it would be much better if she were to use the Cameo for the pre/post wedding gala, and wear another dimond tiara for the wedding. Like the nine-prong would be lovely, I'm not user how the connaugh would look like with a veil and god forbid she even so much as go near the buttons. The amethyst one would be a big no also, so would the ruby one (the name escaspe me at the moment) and the steal cut one. I rather not see her in the fringe one since it we see it so often. I doubt she would so much as even think of using the braganza tiara so that would leave the nine-prong the next best bet if she doesn't go with the Cameo. While I think the Cameo is really unique, it might limit the choices in wedding gown styles (like how the Queen went with a very simple gown). Besides all the other crown princesses will be wearing dimond tiaras to the wedding and it would be a bit odd if the bride wasn't. I think some one brought up the idea of Victoria getting a new tiara (or was it in the other theard?); I think that would be highly unlike due to the high cost of the wedding.

I little off topic but: I think the buttons would be so much nice if something was done about how they were re-set somehow, the 6 button one has not one, but two rows of dimonds, a lazy design and a waste as only princess Lilian looks good in it.
 
I have a feeling Victoria's dress will be made by a Swedish designer. I wonder, though, if it will have some lace on it? I could see her in something lacey. Maybe she'll wear her mother's veil too? Do they have 'maids of honor' in Scandinavia? or 'groomsmen'? or does the Swedish church do something different?

I'm not sure about royal weddings, but I do know that Victoria and Madeleine have been bridesmaids in their friends' weddings, which were in Sweden. I was wondering the same thing-if Victoria would have Princess Madeleine as her bridesmaid.
 
Here is my wish list for the wedding:

1.) She's escorted down the aisle by her father
2.) She wears the Cameo tiara
3.) All of her royal godchildren are her bridal children:ROFLMAO: ... Ingrid Alexandra, Amalia, Konstantine Alexios, Christian -- Eleanore will probably still be too young -- perhaps, Isabella, too!
 
I think the Connought Tiara would be a perfect wedding tiara. It's beautiful
 
I'd like to see.......
  • Her father, the King walk her down the aisle.
  • Her sister as the only adult bridesmaid and her brother as best man.
  • Her royal godchildren as young bridesmaids and pages.
  • Her wearing the Ruby & Diamond tiara in the style of graduated heartshaped elements, descended from Princess Margaret of GB. It has the height of the Cameo or the Braganca but it's more romantic.A more probable reality would be CPsV wearing the Baden fringe tiara though. A nightmare would be her wearing one or both of the Button tiaras. It would take a jewelery genius to combine the ten buttons into a beautiful tiara fit for a queen.
  • Her dress will not doubt be made by a Swedish designer. CPsV tends to have a fairly simplistic daytime style, but evening wear style is hard to pin down. I'd like to see her is a fairly simplistic dress with a touch of lace, but then that seems to be the wedding trend of the current Crown Princesses.
 
- In Sweden, there is no tradition of a 'best man' at weddings.
- There is no tradition of the bride being walked down the aisle by her father either.
- The Edward VII ruby tiara is a very interesting idea indeed, I would like that very much. The one obstacle is that the ages-old story about the fight over the tiara's ownership between the King and his uncle Prince Sigvard would be dragged out again by the media, and I don't think the Bernadottes would take that risk at the wedding.
- Re-setting the buttons, which are not buttons but rosettes, in a beautiful new tiara could be done fairly easily, IMO. An uneven number of them would be essential, and incorporated in a light foliage diamond design of stems and leaves, e.g. seven of them could be turned into a very nice flower tiara.
- I don't think that CP Victoria uses any designer currently who is really up to the job of a future Queen's wedding gown, neither in terms of design expertise nor craftmanship. The worst would be Lars Wallin, Per Engesheden is only marginally better. As Queen Silvia saw no reason to use a Swedish designer, Victoria might still surprise us as well.
 
Where do her tastes lean in terms of non-Swedish designers? Her mother's dress was by Dior or Balenciaga? She's certainly got the time to canvas a large array of designers.
 
Queen Silvia's dress (a mixed blessing) was by Marc Bohan for Dior.
While the Queen dresses exclusively in non-Swedish designs these days (the last time she wore anything made in Sweden must have been twenty years ago), CP Victoria's evening wear has been mostly by Swedish designers so far.
On the other hand, for daytime clothing she has been wearing Natan, Escada, Armani and Laurel, among others.
 
I remember that when Martha-Louise of Norway got married, Ari Behn stood alone at the alter without a best man.

I envisage a very simple, elegant design for Victoria's dress with a similar neck-line and bodice to her blue engagement dress, with a very long court train from the shoulders or a skirt style and train similar to Letizia's.

This is correct, and I really hope they wont break the Swedish tradition: the bride and the groom walking together.
Two grown up people who made a common decision to get married, walking together into the church to make their promises in front of God and all the guests...sooooo beautiful and right! :flowers:

When I got married it was no discussion at all about this. I would never ever let my father give me away like something he owned to another man to own. Im not a THING, but a human being, grown up woman... big no no no! (I was 29 -Victoria is going to be 33, 15 years since she turned 18...) ... And to walk into the church on my wedding day together w another man than my husband to be :eek: no way! :eek:
Me and my husband was walking togheter ( bride to the left when you walk in, and to the right when you walk out). This is the Swedish way and tradition.
But I know, some wedding couples in Sweden want the old father to handle over the bride... they have seen movies from USA and GB and other europe and think thats the way to do it, but its totally against the tradition in Sweden. I dont like it. I will be VERY disapointed if Victoria is given away (just listen to how it sounds -given away) by the King...Victoria and Daniel are toghether into this, lets hope they walk together into the church!:king::queen4:

I totally agree with you - they should follow the Swedish tradition and walk into the church toghether!
 
Oh I think it's a great tradition for the bride and groom to walk down the aisle together - will they arrive at the cathedral seperately and greet eachother like Haakon and Mette-Marit did?

Most likely. In 1976, The King and Miss Silvia Sommerlath arrived seperately, and the King greeted her with a kiss on the cheek before the inner church doors openeded and they proceeded to walk together to the altar.
I think it's a lovely tradition as well, and it also has a more modern feeling to it than the father 'handing over' the daughter, with all the connotations of this act.
 
On another board it was discussed that there are "royal" and "princely" weddings
Maybe the wedding will be not as glittering as her fathers` because he was already king when he married and she is "only" crownprincess
 
That discussion was quite funny... because a princely wedding IS a royal wedding.
Any downsizing compared to recent weddings of other heirs to the throne is highly unlikely.
 
I must admit I still feel a little uncomfortable with the imagination of for instance King CG XVI appearing in full robe, all the ladies in tiaras and evening gowns and the groom is "just" a fitness trainer
I mean as far as I know even Jonas and Emma have a "higher" education by studying and visiting a university
I know it´s not fair but having a female (bride) with low education is still more "normal" than being the groom who has lower education than the bride
 
I don't share your views at all...
Again, 'fitness trainer' sounds like an employee, but Daniel Westling is a business man, owning five gyms.
If we will see any tiaras on the guests on wedding day remains to be seen, though I hope you'll be proven right regarding this dress code.
