Royal Flashback of the Day: Princess Sofia's Wedding Gown
Mattias Edwall / Kungahuset.se
Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia recently becoming parents for the second time is more than enough excuse to take a little trip down memory lane back to their wedding, right? Specifically, to Sofia's wedding gown, because we have another installment of reader pictures from the Swedish royal wedding gown exhibition at the Royal Palace several months ago. Special thanks once again to Janet and Viola for sharing their views! (I'm adding links to these detailed exhibition posts to my original post on the display, by the way.)

Princess Sofia's 2015 wedding dress came from Swedish designer Ida Sjöstedt. Sjöstedt's designs have become regulars on the royal scene since then, worn by Sofia as well as Princess Madeleine and Crown Princess Victoria.

The dress has a strapless base dress made of silk crepe with a train, and a long-sleeved Italian silk organza overlay with applied lace.

I didn't find this dress all that memorable, as royal wedding gowns go, at the time. But the great thing about seeing it on its own is that you get to see all kinds of detail you missed during the wedding broadcast - and I can see a lot of soft detail here that definitely didn't stand out at the time.

The other great thing is that we get a chance to focus on some of the accessories, because a big, long veil is a thing of beauty. Sofia's is made of tulle with hand-embroidered cotton lace.

Wedding shoes! Sofia's are from Charlotte Olympia, and while the heart-shaped sole is a brand signature and not a wedding special, that detail is a sweet fit to the occasion.

These simple dresses were worn by the young bridesmaids, which included Princess Estelle.

The exhibition also displayed a part of the wedding day that was only seen in paparazzi-style pictures from outside the palace: Princess Sofia changed into a simpler, one-shoulder lace gown for the party portion of the wedding reception.

And the backs! The lace overlay on the wedding dress looks particularly fine here, and it's interesting that the lace appears to be an apron-style front on the reception dress.
You knew I wouldn't leave you without the full kit to encourage your Tuesday procrastination, right? You need all the evidence if you're going to reevaluate your opinion of Sofia's dress, after all.
(So have you? Reevaluated your opinion, that is. Does the dress on display change your mind?)
