The bridal bouquet contains winter barley from the fields of Schackenborg as well as the more than 200-year-old myrtles from Fredensborg Palace that have been included in all Royal bridal bouquets since then.White French lilies/longiflorum flowers have been cautiously taken apart and carefully sown together again into smaller heads of lilies. The bridal bouquet is filled with small delicate cream-coloured roses and pistachio-coloured greenery. The bottom of the bouquet is covered with green Camellia leaves from Munch & Levison’s more than 100-year-old Camellia tree.
The white lilies have been chosen for the bridal bouquet because the late Queen Ingrid’s bridal bouquet contained lilies at the Royal wedding on 24 May 1935.
The bridal bouquet is the work of Jan Munch, Munch & Levison.
The bridal gown is an haute couture creation made of 19th century inspired Calais lace with flower patterns in raised satin stitch. The dress is off-white and lined with ivory silk faille from the silk fabric maker, Buche, in the Loire Valley.
The bodice of the bridal gown consists of finely embroidered lace. The gown ends in a train that is three metres long. The bridal veil is of tulle with lace bordering and is kept in place by a tiara.
The tiara belongs to Her Majesty The Queen. It was a gift from the Queen’s parents, King Frederik and Queen Ingrid. Originally, the tiara belonged to Princess Dagmar (1890-1961), the youngest daughter of Frederik VIII and Queen Louise. In 1922 she married Master of the Royal Hunt Jørgen Castenskiold.
