I prefer the belgian diamond scroll tiara. It's a lovely piece, not too grand nor too small, with a beautiful design. Also, along with the flower tiara, is in my opinion the one that suits Grand Duchess Maria Teresa the best.
But I wish the Lannoy family had some nice piece that the bride could wear. The family has a very confortable economic situation as far as I know, they have properties, a large chateau, I would expect them to have some nice jewelry from previous generations in the vaults. Perhaps a tiara, or a necklace that could be put on frame, even some nice diamond earrings from the late Countess (apart from her mother's ring she already told she would wear)... It would be lovely that the bride could wear some jewels from her family.
