You're very welcome! That blue is stunning and so fitting to the occassion. Very fitting icon you chose as well! There was one moment yesterday when I had to think of The King's Speech. It was right before Willem-Alexander started his inauguration speech, he took quite a long pause and I thought, what if he starts stuttering ;-)

Oh, lovely pictures! They really give you the feel of the event. Thank you so much for giving us a peek into your country and culture! :)

I'm also a big fan of the blue! So distinctive!

You're very welcome, glad to hear you enjoyed the post!

The blue is lovely and regal. The funny thing is (you can't see it in these pictures) that the three young princesses all wore a dress made of the same material, but the fit of the dresses was just a bit different for them all. Nice touch I thought. You can see it here for example: http://entertainment.nl.msn.com/celebrity/koninklijk-paar-klapt-voor-koningslied-1?page=7

Oh my gosh, that is adorable! What a wonderful way to create unity between the princesses but still make each one unique and special!
