I wonder what the woman who placed the 6000 pound bet on Kate wearing the fringe tiara thinks about the scroll tiara.

They did at the top part that went in her ear- and acorns....little scrolls

Of all the tiaras we had been discussing before, the Halo/Scroll looks to be the simplest (by royal standards), although beautiful. Do you think Catherine was offered to choose this tiara among some other options or did the Queen offer her just this one? I have learned that a lip reader told that the Queen, while watching the bride and the groom leaving, said that she would rather have William and Catherine use a smaller couch. Maybe she wanted less splendour?
I think the tiara was quite nice
But the Queen could have certainly give her something a little more impressive and sparking
Besides, I think, the way her hair was done in loose way, has a very casuall and everyday look
IMO if Kate would have had a gatherd hairstyle she would look was much more impressive and noble.
BTW I also think her bouquet was very very small and simple
It is very likely that Catherine was given the Scroll Tiara as a wedding gift from The Queen, meaning she will retain it for her future use, even though it belongs to HM.
I read it was only a loan and not given to her but as some mentioned the earring were made to match so maybe she did get permission to use it in the future.
It would be great to see it again as it's a lovely tiara.
I am hoping that the decision was reached by both Kate and HM. I would imagine that HM would have really enjoyed talking about each piece and what history there was with it and whatnot and Kate would have been an attentive listener. Everything the bride wore seemed to have a meaningful connotation to it and I doubt the tiara would be any less so.
The small tiara and the small bouquet were lovely.
Large ones become overwhelming and the focus is on them rather than on the person, in my opinion.
The tiara was also very personal to the Queen and sent a lovely message of love towards her grand-daughter-in-law. This was a tiara that her father had bought for her mother and then they had given to her for her 18th birthday. It was one that linked Kate to her father-in-law's beloved grandmother through the Queen - wonderful symbolism of welcome to the family - rather than a big flashy one that doesn't have those personal links. Those ones will come at appropriate times but for this day this one was perfect and symbolic.
