Today, on June 19, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. In order to mark the anniversary, the Royal Palace released new portraits of the couple. The wedding of Crown Princess Victoria and Mr Daniel Westling took place in the Great Church (Stockholm Cathedral) in the Old Town of Stockholm on June 19, 2010.
It was the first wedding of a female successor to the throne in the list of Swedish monarchs. When he married Crown Princess Victoria, Mr Daniel Westling was granted the title Prince, Duke of Västergötland.
Crown Princess Victoria's wedding dress was designed by Pär Engsheden. It is made of cream-coloured duchess silk satin, with short sleeves and a turned-out collar, which follows the rounded neckline.
The dress has a v-shaped back with covered buttons. The sash at the waist is buttoned up at the back. The Crown Princess's shoes were made up in the same fabric as her dress.
The tiara is made of gold, pearls and cameos. The central cameo depicts Cupid and Psyche from Greek mythology. The cameo tiara was also worn by Queen Silvia at the royal wedding on June 19, 1976.
Thus, the Crown Princess continued a tradition started by Princess Birgitta. She was the first Haga Princess to marry, and chose the cameo tiara for her wedding in 1961 to Prince Johann Georg of Hohenzollern.
The tiara was probably a gift from Napoleon to his wife, Empress Josephine, in 1809.
After the wedding, The Crown Princess Couple travelled in a horse-drawn cortège along the streets of Stockholm. The cortège route was 6.8 km long and the cortège itself was 400 metres long. The cortège ended with a trip on the Royal Barge Vasaorden.
The wedding banquet took place in the Hall of State at the Royal Palace of Stockholm, Sweden's finest ceremonial hall. 558 guests had been invited to the banquet.
That was the most amazing royal wedding ever. They were so in love and Victoria's wedding was totally out of the world. - Siri
ReplyDeleteWilliam & Catherine had the best Royal Wedding ever, 1.5 billion watched it
DeleteJ.
Indeed, their wedding was the most impassioned royal happening. The atmosphere of love was almost palpable. We could see the tears of happiness and many many kisses. Almost as happy as their wedding had Mette-Marit and Haakon and Mary and Fredrik but just almost. Grace
DeleteTHE most beautiful wedding dress ever!
ReplyDeleteHerzlichen Glückwunsch. Aber ich glaube nicht, dass sie das "glücklichste Paar der Welt" sind, wie ihre Anhänger behaupten. Daniel wirkt einfach zu oft unglücklich an ihrer Seite.

Yes, anything could be possible, watching the scene from the sideline you only see what is presented to us...but let us hope for the best! Frieda
DeleteEr wirkt nicht unglücklich, er wirkt müde und schwerkrank.
DeleteDie Medikamente, die eine Abstoßungsreaktion gegen die transplantierte Niere verhindern sollen, haben schwere Nebenwirkungen und es ist bewundernswert, was er in diesem Zustand leistet.
Sarah, auf mich wirkt er nicht unglücklich. Sofern dieser Eindruck entsteht, mag das mit seinen gesundheitlichen Problemen zu tun haben.
DeleteThat was an amazing wedding. Regal and majestic, for sure, but also somewhat subdued and quietly dignified. They were so clearly in love and everyone was so happy for them. Bless their hearts, I hope they are still so blissfully happy today.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is still my favourite royal wedding dress. None Of the others comes even close to it, in my opinion. Fit her body and her personality just perfectly. CH
Victoria est magnifique dans cette robe de mariée ; époustouflant le diadème fait d'or, de perles et surtout de camées ; je ne me lasse pas de le regarder !
ReplyDeleteP.S. Gourmande comme je suis, je serais curieuse de connaître la composition de l'immense pièce-montée ?!
Il consiste en une base d'amande, meringues molle, compote a fraises des bois, mousse de champagne, chocolat crispe. (Excuse ma Francaise :-) )
DeleteFor me it was the most emotional royal wedding displayed by both of the participants. Victoria was the caring leading one and just too sweet, encouraged Daniel to relax and let lose his shyness. Her face & eyes were beeming...I loved it! An unforgetable and credible love story. Frieda
ReplyDeleteThe one thing I always remember most is Daniel's wonderful speech at the reception. Awwww. It was sooooo sweet. If you've never heard and seen it please Google or Youtube it.

She was the most magnificent bride. She looked so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAva Pittman and Sylvie, no, Madeleine, Sofia, and both Clare's [Luxembourg], and [Belgium], had the most beautiful gowns on!
DeleteBien d'accord avec ceux qui trouvent que ce mariage royal était émouvant, pour ma part le plus émouvant que j'ai jamais vu. 10 ans après Victoria et Daniel sont toujours de loin mon couple royal préféré ; Estelle et Oscar sont de charmants enfants en plus.
ReplyDeleteThat was a wonderful wedding.. so much love! <3 <3 <3

ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup ; j'ai bien compris vos explications ; très alléchant surtout avec le chocolat que j'adore Je vous souhaite une bonne soirée !
Both Crown Princess Victoria + (the now) Prince Daniel looked gorgeous together on their Wedding Day. Thankfully almost 13-14 years later + they are still very much in love, with radiating smiles for one another. Their two children are adorable - Princess Estelle is ever so sweet + young Prince Oscar is a cutie pie. Fairytales do come true. Who would've thought that a former Gym Owner + Personal Fitness Trainer would end up as a Duke, marrying a Princess, who is a Crown Princess, who will ascend the Throne to Reign over Sweden one day, whilst also raising a daughter to become a Queen one day + hopefully carry forward the Swedish Monarchy for many years to come. Any Royal Family + Country/Countries who have a Monarchy as Head of State sparkles my interest. I'm glad Australia is currently a part of the Commonwealth under the British Royal Family. I hope we remain to be.
