The Christening of Prince Nicolas of Sweden

I want to start this post by saying that will be the last for some months, Wednesday I'll be moving for a few months in Germany and begin a new job ... you know, it will take some time to get used to a new life in a foreign country, so I apologize if there will be no many updates on the blog and on twitter in the coming months. But ... I come back soon!


It was a fabulous year for the Swedish royal family! Hooray for me that i love them so much!
The birth of Prince Nicolas, the wedding of Prince Carl Philip and Sofia, the new Princess of Sweden and the second pregnancy of Princess Victoria.

Today, finally, the baptism of Prince Nicolas at the Royal Chapel of Drottningholm Palace (Drottningholm Slott).



Do you like the feathers? Princess Madeleine looked lovely in her dress by Valentino sheath dress completely embroidered (you can see the detail of embroidery here). Absolutely gorgeous her headdress with magenta silk roses and the pearl drop earrings. I love the combination of colors chosen by Madeleine!



The best royal couple? Crown Princess Victoria and Princess Estelle! Jackie Kennedy style for Princess Victoria ( and her baby bump!!) i would say that she has hit! She looks very chic, her dress is by Seraphine, a popular brand also used by Princess Medeleine, Duchess of Cambridge and Zara Phillips during their pregnancies. I LOVE her hat! Diamond earrings.



                                                     Princess Estelle is a wonderful creature! These photos confirm this!

                                              Best show of the day! Princess Leonor... Soooo nice!

                                             Leonor wore a dress by Bonpoint with lace applications on the neckline.

Bows has never been my passion, so i ignore the headgear (Easter Bunny) of Princess Sofia who really did not like, however, i love her dress!!!! (by Gucci) I love this style and the color looks gorgeous on her! And it is also one of my favorite colors ;) Sofia has received the royal family order, she wore it for the first time today, pinned on her dress



Queen Silvia always perfect! delightful in her blue silk dress and coat. The Queen wore the "King Carl XIV Johan Oriental Pearl Demi-Parure" These pearls are supposed to have belonged to the founder of the dynasty, Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, who ruled as Carl XIV Johan.



                                              Yes, i found something more horrible of the Sofia's hat ...... Guess what?



                                                       Here a video of the output from the royal chapel after the ceremony


                                                                                          The godparents


                After the ceremony a reception for guests was held at the Royal Palace followed by a lunch.
Princess Madeleine and Chris O’Neill ask their guests to donate to the World Childhood Foundation or Min Stora Dag. The Princess has a very close bound with the charities.

 Prince Nicolas is now a member of the Royal Order of the Seraphim. Just like his sister, he received the smaller badge and sash. He wore the order only during the baptism. When Prince Nicolas turns 18, he’s allowed to wear the order at official engagements. After the baptism, Prince Nicholas’s monogram and coat of arms was released



                                     If you missed the christening of Prince Nicolas, you can watch the replay here:

Opening of Parliament - Sweden & Netherlands

Yesterday, (almost simultaneously) the opening of parliament in Sweden and the Netherlands.
As always in the Netherlands everything went great fanfare, with gold carriages and anything else ....



.... And we love it! Queen Maxima did not disappoint my expectations, she was absolutely fabulous! Her dress is by Jan Taminiau, the same designer who created the beautiful blue dress the queen wore to the coronation.
This dress, silk organza, was painted by hand and to accentuate the design has been applied  different types of embroidery and beading.
But the real peculiarity of this dress is that it was inspired by the Japanese room in the palace Huis ten Bosch


You would imagine to have a dress inspired your living room!? No, if you are not a Queen :)
This year no hat on the Royal head but a lovely  clasp with flowers (adorable!)
Maybe  the combination of colors or the painted flowers... but for me Maxima was absolutely perfect!.



                                                  The day ended with a brief appearance from the balcony



                                                                                 Meanwhile in Sweden ...
                                                              Crown Princess Victoria



Princess Victoria wore the same jacket by Milly, she wore it also at the opening of parliament in 2011, when she was pregnant with Estelle


The hair... with the usual hairdo and a headpiece with butterflies (?)

                     Princess Madeleine and Princess Sofia



No, you don't see double.... Madeleine and Sophia was dressed like two little twins;). Actually, the dress code provided for the Black and White ... but .... a little imagination girls! Despite everything, both were beautiful and very elegant.  The jacket and the dress worn by Madeleine was by Paule Ka



The delightful hat worn by Madeleine seems to be by Philip Treacy.
 Princess Sofia wore Maje Magistral Short Cardigan. The garment retails for $570.00 on the Maje website. 


                                                                   
                                                                Queen Silvia



Queen Silvia very chic with a black coat, felt hat and white pearl necklace and earrings. The first part of the day ended with a speech by the king were in the State Hall


In the evening the royal family (except Princess Madeleine that she's back in London) went at the Royal Opera for an exhibition. The event, as it is every year, is in connection with the opening of Parliament

Queen Silvia wore an elegant blue velvet coat, Crown Princess Victoria wore a dress by Adrianna Papell which looks like the short version of the gown she wore a few weeks ago for the official dinner at the palace, immediately after it has been given the announcement of her second pregnancy. (But they were not made by the same designer). Shoes by Ralph Louren.



Once again the designers of the dress worn by Princess Sofia are still unknown, the shoes are known to be by Jimmy Choo and the cape is by Viktoria Chan (thanks Sara W on Twitter)

Victoriadagen 2015 - Crown Princess Victoria celebrate her 38th birthday.



Day of celebration in Sweden to celebrate the 38th birthday of Crown Princess Victoria. As every year the festivities began to Solliden Castle where lots of people gathered to greet and honor the Princess.



Victoria accompanied by Prince Daniel, Princess Esetelle, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia greeted her subjects. King Carl Gustaf gave a short speech as well as Victoria did. After the Crown Princess shook many hands and received many gifts from people, it's so good to see the great affection that exists between ordinary people and the royal family, Victoria has taken a lot of time today to greet and talk about to everyone. But not just Victoria, the whole royal family has been very long time with their own subjects.



Princess Estelle is more and more beautiful, with a smile that lights up even a rainy day! She showed all her charms greeting the crowd like a real mini Queen! After, she spent time with her nanny.



                                                                                                It seems that Estelle has a new friend!



                                                                    A cute video about Princess Estelle


                              Princess Victoria wore a floral dress by Ralph Lauren with a pink cardigan


At 18:30 the entire royal family arrived at Borgholms IP for Victoriadagen concert.



This was the first official appearence of Princess Madeleine since the birth of Prince Nicolas, which is expected to be baptized around the 15th of September at the Chapel of Drottningholm Slott. (no confirmation yet).  Medeleine looks very good, relaxed and happy as every new mom should be!



Even the newlyweds, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia were on their first official appearence after the wedding, the couple has just returned from their honeymoon. They seem so happy that you can see their aura of love and happiness!



Fortunately, this year the rain did not spoil the concert, Princess Victoria, always smiling, wearing a traditional dress, as well as Queen Silvia
