    Thank you very much Mauriz for posting these photos.
    I have never seen a photograph showing the Grand Duchess wearing Palmette tiara. Only a painting portrait.
    The big flower brooch on the dress of the Grand Duchess seems to be the one belong to the swedish royal family.

    : Princess Viktoria of Baden and her mother,
    : Princess Luise of Prussia, were both married
    : on 20th September, the first in 1881, the
    : second in 1856. These photos were taken on
    : the occasion of the joint celebration of
    : their (50th & 25th) wedding
    : anniversaries in 1906.

    : The head ornaments underneath their tiaras
    : seem to be some sort of myrtle twigs and
    : probably refer to their special status as
    : former brides.

    : The Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg has three
    : other photos from the same sitting, two of
    : them showing the head ornaments clearer. I
    : don't post the complete images, because the
    : files are rather big, but add the permalink
    : and references according to their terms of
    : use.
