Saturday Style-A Right Royal Revelry

Okay so I love a good Royal wedding and I can’t imagine we are going to get one in this country for a good while-Harry if you are reading get in touch to remedy that! Well I don’t want to wait to drool over all that pomp and ceremony so thought I would bring you a little slice of Royal wedding bliss from around the world. Today we are looking at all of those European Royal families-there are loads of them, some of the areas I’ve never even heard of but they do know how to look fabulous 🙂

In 1965, Princess Beatrix became engaged to the German aristocrat Claus von Amsberg, a diplomat working for the German Foreign Office. Their marriage caused a massive protest during the wedding day in Amsterdam on 10 March 1966. Prince Claus had served in the Hitler Youth and was, therefore, associated by a part of the Dutch population with German Nazism.

Saturday Celebrity Style – the wedding of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother

Now I love a royal Wedding. The pomp, the glamour, the tradition, the clothes and I also love a bit of nostalgia, so today we’ve combined the 2 by taking a look back at the 1923 wedding style of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

Now when she married, there was no inkling that she would later become Queen and then mother of our monarch.

Her husband was third in line to the throne at the time and their wedding was a low key, yet sophisicated affair. I love the full length boho look to her gown and that veil-copied by Lilly Allen a few decades later 🙂

I’m sure if she had been the future queen at the time of her wedding, the whole event would have been very different, following centuries old traditions and protocols, so it’s lovely that this wedding is entirely how the couple wanted it.

What do you think? Is it a love or a hate? Leave a comment and tell me which celebrity wedding style you adore.
