Thanks for the side by side pictures, Tamara! Certainly the necklace and earrings are more similar in color, if not design, to the smaller tiara and the comb.
I have been wondering whether the bride requested that the guests wear subdued colors, as she did herself. Or perhaps (except for the Grand Duchess in vermilion at the wedding and a few others) they simply decided themselves to honor the bride's mother by keeping to mostly neutral or pastel shades.
In any case, the smaller steel tiara and comb, along with Victoria's gown, suited the general attire.
