Upcoming Westminster Wedding
Hugh Grosvenor, the 7th Duke of Westminster, is set to marry Olivia Henson on Friday, June 7th. The wedding will take place at Chester Cathedral with the reception following at Eaton Hall. The Westminster family has several tiaras that the new duchess can choose from and I keep changing my mind about which one I think she will pick.
Bagration Pink Spinel Tiara
The Bagration Pink Spinel Tiara is the one worn by the groom's mother for his parents' wedding back in 1978 and was bought by the late Duke as a wedding gift for his bride. This would be the sentimental choice and I would love to see it worn but it may be a bit large for a first time tiara wearer.
Westminster Myrtle Wreath Tiara
The Westminster family owns not one but two of the few remaining Fabergé tiaras in existence! The Myrtle Wreath Tiara was made in 1906 and was worn by the groom's sister, Tamara, when she married Hugh van Cutsem in 2004. I think it's a wonderful choice for a bride and would be much less intimidating than the Bagration.
Westminster Cyclamen Tiara
The second Fabergé tiara in the collection is probably the tiara I would be most excited to see because I have never seen a photo of it being worn. The Cyclamen Tiara is a long shot because it looks like it would need some serious tiara hair to cover up the base. It is convertible to a necklace so maybe she will wear double Fabergé with the Myrtle as a tiara and the Cyclamen as a necklace!
Harewood Fringe Tiara
I normally love fringe tiaras (I know not everybody does) but this is the tiara I would least like to see worn if only because the other choices are so much more interesting and rarely seen.
The family also used to own the Westminster Halo Tiara, the Westminster Blue Enamel Kokoshnik, and the Rosebery Pearl Tiara.
Which tiara do you think the bride will wear on Friday?
