A drawing of the weeding gown  Information about the gown  "Crown Princess Mette-Marit wore a wedding dress inspired by Queen Maud's gowns. The dress was made by Ove Harder Finseth and seamstress Anna Bratland. The gown was made of specially dyed ecru thick silk crêpe and soft silke tulle. The gown has a bodice, the skirt is flared with a two metre long train, that is edged with decorated tulle that resembles waves in the sand. The gown is draped in 125 metres of silk tulle. The veil is of silk and is six metres long. The bride's tiara is antique and was made in about 1910. It's a gift from Their Majesties The King and Queen. The diamonds in the tiara are brilliants and rosettes, and make up 23 flowers rosettes set in platinum and yellow gold. The bridal bouquet adorns the bride's wrist and is worn as a muff. The bouquet has been called 'Brudeløperen'. The idea was developed by Mette-Marit in close cooperation with Aina Nyberget Kleppe, who runs the flower shop Passiflora A/S in Oslo. The bridal bouquet is made up of rosary vine (Ceropegia woodii), Wanda orchid (Phalaenopsis orchids), hydrangeas, roses in pink and mauve tones, fescue, beads and metal threads. The bouquet is fixed to wire mesh. The rosary vine forms a base on which the flowers , grasses and beads are mounted one after the other and attached with silver, copper, pink and burgundy metal threads. The colours are various soft tones of pink. |
