Swedish Royal Jewels: What to Wear?

The two royal brides-to-be, sisters Victoria and Madeleine, will be in the process of choosing their gowns, flowers, and most importantly, their jewels.

Today we take a look at some of the fabulous tiaras and jewels the Crown Princess may wear for her wedding to Daniel Westling in June 2010. Princess Madeleine also has a stunning repertoire of jewels from which to choose in preparation for her wedding to Jonas Bergstrom.

With many thanks to The Royal Forums and Royal Jewels of the World, I present some of the most stunning items in the Swedish Bernadotte dynasty. What will the Princesses choose?
