This is a very good idea (and thank you for posting the photos). Stephanie could wear her family tiara at the wedding, and then appear in a Luxembourg one once she is Hereditary Grand Duchess.
Or, she could just wear a Lannoy one and receive a Luxembourg one as a wedding present to wear later. The scroll one would be lovely AND as it is already in the family no money would have to be spent. Besides, it is one of the ones that had been chosen for auction, so now it has a "purpose" - to ornament another Belgian bride.

: As I mentioned above, it would be a very nice
: idea for Stéphanie de Lannoy to ‘do a Sophie
: of Prussia’, meaning to wear a Lannoy tiara
: AND a Luxembourg tiara for the pre-wedding
: gala and the wedding, respectively – IF
: tiaras are worn at the gala on the night
: before the wedding.
: I too find it hard to imagine that the
: Lannoys do not have a tiara, but the only
: picture that seems to have surfaced so far
: with a possible candidate for a Lannoy tiara
: is this one, from the wedding of Stéphanie’s
: first cousin Christine de Lannoy to Count
: Bruno of Limburg Stirum, son of Princess
: Hélène d'Orléans.
: Perhaps someone else has found out more
: about the Lannoy jewels?
: No idea if this is actually a Lannoy family
: heirloom:

: 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.

: In order to illustrate the subject better,
: here are the most likely ‘candidates’ for
: the bridal tiara from the Luxembourg
: collection – the Congo diamond
: tiara/necklace seen on all the Luxembourg
: brides since Joséphine Charlotte, which is
: IMHO not an ideal bridal tiara:
:
:
:
: The diamond scroll tiara, worn by GD
: Joséphine Charlotte for her wedding photo
: session, which I agree might be a very
: appealing different option indeed both in
: terms of design and symbolism:
:

: And perhaps a beautiful alternative, the
: larger of the two diamond flower tiaras:

: I meant the Scroll one, which I believe was
: a
: gift, as was the "Congo" one. The
: Scroll one is lovely, and wasn't worn for so
: many weddings so it could really be
: "hers". I know there is a family
: jewel pool, but the HGD needs one to call
: her own.
:
: Besides, it's just kind of sitting around,
: not being used . . .
