The procession will go from the Royal Palace past the Outer Courtyard and along Slottsbacken, Skeppsbron, Slottskajen, Norrbro, Regeringsgatan, Hamngatan, Nybroplan, Nybrokajen, Hovslagargatan, Södra Blasieholmshamnen, Strömbron och will end at Logården.
Shortly after the arrival to Logården a 21-gun salute will be fired from Skeppsholmen. The Swedish armed forces will parade along the route
-The reception

The reception will be held in the Vita Havet Assembly Rooms and a dance in Karl XI’s Gallery. The cuisine served at the reception will be overseen by award winning chef Fredrik Eriksson.

Prince Carl Philip and Sofia Hellqvist have decided to use the song “Sofias brudvals” of Per Bredhammar as their wedding waltz.
A dance teacher has prepared a routine for the prince pair and it is quite difficult because it is a very slow song.
The couple will probably be joined by their parents on the dance floor.
-Where to watch live
You can watch the ceremony and reception on SVT. Broadcasting will start at 3 pm (15:00) Stockholm time. If for some reason the video is blocked in your country, you can download Hola to have access to the livestream.

-About Wedding Dress and Tiara
We do not know if Sofia chooses to wear a tiara of the royal family or a new tiara, could be a wonderful wedding present! She could also opt for a jewel in the hair (But I would not do it!!).
It would be nice to see the Lilian's Laurel Wreath Tiara belonged to Princess Lilian and that she left to Victoria.
The spouses have inherited the house where lived the Princess Lilian and her husband, Prince Bertil and they will live there after the wedding, it would be a nice way to remember the uncles.
For her wedding dress - rumors chase and so it's difficult to predict.
For her appearance at the pre wedding dinner and then for the wedding of Princess Madeleine, Sofia has chosen Swedish designers.
On December last year, for her first appearance at the Nobel Prize, Sofia chosen a beautiful dress by the Swedish designer Ida Sjöstedt, one of the popular names as a likely choice for the wedding gown.
But Sofia is not obliged to turn to a Swedish label, in fact some voices suggested also the designer Valentino who also designed the beautiful wedding dress of Princess Madeleine.
Happy Royal Wedding to all!! <3
