Royalty and Riches - journal entry from 27 Sep, 2013

So what were German nobility wearing at this time period (1819-25)?  It varies a little bit, but for the most part it seems as though they were following the same fashions trends found in France and England with only very slight differences.  I love the crazy amount of glorious silver or/and gold embroidery on a lot of these...

1823 - Worn by Oscar I of Sweden and Josephine of Leuchtenberg for their wedding in Munich

Could anything possibly look more fairytale than this ensemble?  I kind of doubt it.
