There are different pictures of the wedding - one in the newspaper -a sketch- which she wore, the necklace and the waldeck Tiara... and my be a later version for the officiel photo ..with her "new" jewels. I think she wore,in tradition (the last time) the tiara of her family,the Waldeck Tiara and had pinned the sprays together- and on her gown...
