to HM Queen Wilhelmina. The
tiara originally consisted
of 10 ears of wheat. Two have

was about as long as her train.
The bride wore single pearl studded
earrings.

Her dress was made with a
Dutch style collar around
a slightly low neckline.
Buttons adorned the front
of the dress. The waist
line of the dress was fitted.
The long pleated skirt, which

The skirt was longer in the
back to form a small train.
The sleeves of the dress were

They also consisted of thick
