Both the fathers of the bride and groom were sitting at the front of the wedding venue with the imam to go through the wedding formalities, so I assume having someone else escort the bride is traditional?

I really liked Beatrice's shimmering blue dress from the day event, by Needle and Thread. Beautiful effect.

The Tiara Advantage is a good one for a Princess! Especially if you have to work for a living.

The back of that dress is lovely. I thought Bea's dress was white but a better photo shows it was actually blue. Still not fond of the black belt and bow but I can live with it!

Totally agree though that she has really found her style and has worn some lovely outfits recently. My guess is that she will slowly increase her royal duties and, without any fanfare, become an established working royal.

@KillingMeDeftly and @sausage767 you can have Edo.
A fiancée and child etc, etc.
@Maireas will send me to the Bold Tower, I know.

Late to the party but my goodness me, that bride was beautiful. Frock and tiara blingage?

The absolute business.

eggandonion · 02/06/2023 10:17

Fergie must be delighted with both her daughters just now. Have we any baby news?
Surely if the assorted nephews and nieces have special interests they could have appropriate patronages? Not necessaily regiments and military things. More social issues and medical and animals.
The blue dress is a lovely colour...maybe the ladies who have to wear sashes envy the sashless! Did Fergie have a sash?

Are you not keen on Edo then? You've never said...

Maireas · 02/06/2023 10:39

Ah dear. Edo.... jury's out...

@KillingMeDeftly 😂

Bea's blue dress is lovely but I think a paler belt, possibly silver would be nicer.

Seems to be a tradition to have either Brother or BIL walk down the aisle with the bride

"Queen Rania was escorted into her wedding by her brother-in-law Prince Faisal Bin Al Hussein. & Princess Iman, who married earlier this year, was escorted in by her brother Crown Prince Hussein."

The back of the brides dress is stunning, I love that. Just didn’t love the front 🤷🏻‍♀️, they to me like they don’t belong together.
Bea looked beautiful all day, I agree she would be a real asset as a working royal- KC please take note😆.

gluenotsoup · 02/06/2023 10:53

What??
hope that wasn’t too garbled for you to get the gist 😬

eggandonion · 02/06/2023 11:21

They listened to me telling my husband multiple times that Edward and Sophie needed to become the Edinburgh family.
I think Princess is a good enough title for the Yorkies. Annes two could surely have a knighthood or something if they want. Wee James is a viscount? Lady Louise is a good name. So no expensive promotions needed. Just regularise interests into patronages if they want them.
Isn't Edo some fancy count already?

Maireas · 02/06/2023 11:26

James is the Earl of Wessex.

@miri1985 thanks for posting that video of Iman’s wedding. Goodness don’t the Jordanians have some stunning gardens and buildings!

eggandonion · 02/06/2023 11:31

Was James Viscount Severn? So then got the Wessex gig...if you are an Earl you would definitely need a sash and some medals.

It looks like I am a trump was there. Or someone very very similar if not talking to William on a pic

I think Edo is a count but the title doesn't really mean anything anymore.

I think id like to be a contessa as well as a princess. All the German titles at last week's wedding were excellent.
The wedding in Jordan has gone some way to make up for the lack of coronation bling.
I'm hoping for a nice state banquet soon.

notsuchafrugalkitty · 02/06/2023 12:47

Just catching up as I've been distracted by broken tooth and missing fillings. Grr. Feeling very sorry for myself. And poor!!

anyway, I love both of Kate's outfits even is the colour is 'a calamine' 😂 both suit the occasion perfectly but I agree that it would have been nice to see a different tiara. Very surprised to see the York tiara on Bea, I'm another one who thought it might have been sold along the way.

Yiayoula · 02/06/2023 12:56

@Maireas - finally delurking (on this , and many previous Royal Style threads , to say I choked on my tea at your “shaving foam accident “ observation.
Pure genius !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yiayoula · 02/06/2023 12:59

And I agree Bea looked stunning , though I had thought the dress was silver rather than pale blue .
Kate’s day outfit wasn’t great on her , too fussy by half.
