I wonder who the woman standing in the centre is? It looks like she is wearing the aquamarine kokoshnik, but I am unsure when that tiara was created, nor if the woman in question would have acces to it.

   
The Aquamarine Kokosnik came from the collection of Princess Margaret of Connaught, who married the future King Gustaf VI Adolf.

Thank you! So sadly not the tiara in this picture, but I'm sure it still dazzled!!

Also, a  to you CS for your impeccable posts 

       
Did the Swedish Royal Family have a Kokosnik style tiara before 1881?   
 
SvenskaSarah, Thank you for your kind words!

I'm really not sure, to be honest the woman in the picture may be from the bride's family as she's stood to the left of the bride. It was just the centre jewel that reminded me of the aquamarine

For some reason I thought the aquamarine kokoshnik (now with Princess Margrethe) was a wedding present to Sybilla from "uncle" Ferdinand, former tsar of Bulgaria.

However, there is no mention of when the Princess received it.

Ulrika Eleonora was Queen Regnant of Sweden from 1718 to 1720. She ennobled 181 people during her reign to secure support for her rule. She had wished for her husband, Prince Frederick of Hesse to be made co-monarch. This was opposed by the Riksdag.

Catherine was of royal blood on her mother's side. Catherine's maternal grandparents were King Sverker II and Queen Benedicta of Sweden.
