Wedding bouquets

[editorathome]

My favorite "royal" wedding bouquet, by far, is that of Carolina of Bourbon Parma. Those pale lavender sweetpeas are absolutely luscious.

Me too!  Between that tiara and that perfect bouquet, she was a gorgeous bride. 

Loved her dress, too

With reference to the two-bouquets issue, it used to be the custom to have a formal portrait shot of the bride in her wedding dress in advance of the wedding. Often for that sitting, she would have a dummy bouquet rather than the real thing.  Back when I got married, that was what was done. The informal name for those portraits was ``prebridals'' and they were often used for wedding announcements in the newspaper.

Sorry to dredge up an old topic but I thought I should include the bouquets of some brides that have gotten married since the last posting.

My all-time favorite royal wedding bouquet is Katie's.  It goes so perfectly with her dress and complexion and the feel of the wedding and is absolutely beautiful to boot. Actually, her entire look was beautiful except for the cheap pearl headband. And the stretch limo.

Second was Camilla's. It looks like a country meadow and fits perfectly with the bride's personality, dress, and wedding.

Third was Letizia's. I'm not a fan of her dress or particularly follow her but the bouquet was absolutely beautiful and matched the bride's personality (notice a pattern here?).

In terms of the flowers at the wedding the best for me was Maxima. But that's a story for a different thread.

I enjoy a cascading bouquet with a big skirt like D had.

Princess Diana did an excellent job carrying that huge cascading bouquet. She was a very young twenty years old.

I like the fact that Lady Helen Taylor's bouquet had pastel colored flowers.

What flowers were in Sophie Winkleman's bouquet?

What flowers were in Sophie Winkleman's bouquet?

It was never announced, but the photos suggest white/cream roses and either white orchids or white freesias.

Queen Victoria of England had a small posey of snowdrops.
