> 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 Do�a 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 > >
