Reports are going around that Sweden’s Crown Princess Victoria chose the designer for her upcoming wedding. According to Aftonbladet, the lucky fashion designer is Par Engsheden, who already made several of Victoria’s dresses over the years, including the purple gown she looked ravishing in at this year’s Nobel Prize ceremony.

The Crown Princess once said she wanted a Swedish designer to create her wedding dress to promote Swedish fashion. Her mother, Queen Silvia, wore a Christian Dior gown when she married the King in 1976.
If the name Par Engsheden sounds familiar, it is because it was he who made the revealing red gown Princess Madeleine wore at the 2002 Nobel Prize ceremony, better known as the “Baywatch” dress.
But have no worries, Victoria’s wedding gown won’t be showing a lot of skin. Tradition holds that royal wedding dresses are to be high-necked, long sleeved and have a train. One will only have to look at what other recent royal brides wore on their big day to get an idea of what the Crown Princess will wear on June 19, 2010.
In addition, it is also being reported that Victoria and her husband-to-be, Daniel Westling, will honeymoon for three weeks after their nuptials. Where that would be, no one knows as it is a tightly guarded secret.
