If the bride does not wear a family de Lannoy tiara
I would bet on the Congo Scroll Tiara. There is a strong history as that being the bridal tiara for the Royal Luxembourg family. It's not my favorite but it does have tradition standing behind it.

: This is a very good idea (and thank you for
: posdting 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 b
e 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 . . .
