[lace] lace and weddings
Carolina, Thanks for putting the wedding photos on your web site. I was unable to click on them to enlarge them but they looked wonderful. Is it just tradition or is there a reason that the Queen wore a black mantilla rather than another color? Janice As a complementary information, I have put on my web some closed pictures of the veil that the Princess Letizia wore, as well as the Spanish mantillas that H.M. the Queen Sophia and her daughter Infanta Elena showed off in the Royal Ceremony Janice Blair Crystal Lake, 50 miles northwest of Chicago, Illinois, USA - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] lace and weddings
Hello all, Thank you Antje, for the detailed description you made of the different laces exhibited in the Royal Wedding. As a complementary information, I have put on my web some closed pictures of the veil that the Princess Letizia wore, as well as the Spanish mantillas that H.M. the Queen Sophia and her daughter Infanta Elena showed off in the Royal Ceremony. Camariñas, the traditional lace location, have given as a wedding present a wooden hand made ship which sails are all made with bobbin lace. I have included the picture too. http://www.geocities.com/carolgallego/wedding.html Enjoy them! Best regards. Carolina. Barcelona.

Two lace veils in consecutive weekends! Thanks to all who provided information about the Danish wedding - does anyone know about the veil at the Spanish wedding yesterday, and those wonderful black mantillas worn by the Queen and someone else in the royal party?

Fw: [lace] Lace and weddings
Hello all Arachneans interested in the Spanish Royal Wedding, I am afraid that I cannot give much information about the veil and other accesorries of the bride except what I have read in the official site of the Royal Family, which is http://www.casareal.es/boda/index.html (you can read it in English and French too). The veil is made of natural silk tulle and is hand-embroidered, following a 19th century technique, with garlands interspersed with the fleur-de-lis and ears of wheat. This was a personal gift from the Prince. I haven't got more information about it. Nobody seems to make any comments about the veil here. Only the dress has been very commented because the designer is really well known (Pertegaz). The bride also wore a hanky made of cotton organza, hand-embroidered with fleur-de-lis, iris flowers, and ears of wheat encircling the arms of the Prince of Asturias. She also wore a fan, from end of the 19th century, of English style, mother of pearl ribs and 17th century Venice-style lacing. It was restored for this occasion by the National Heritage and once belonged to Princess Isabel of Bourbon, a very popular member of the Court known as the Chata. It was chosen personally by Doña Letizia to pay special tribute to Madrid and the Spanish Royal Family. Hello, Spanish members of Arachne, please help me giving more infomation!!! Many greetings from Antje, in Guadalajara, Spain - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
