15 August
For the fourth time, Crown Princess Mary attended the grand opening of Odense Flower Festival in Odense. She first attended in 2006, here. Then in 2012 - the same year Crown Princess Mary became patron for the festival, here. Again in 2017, here, and then now in 2019. Each year the Crown Princess has named a new flower. Two years ago a new rose got its name. This year it was a hydrangeas that got the name 'Princess of Passion'. A beautiful flower, here.
Odense Flower Festival gathered more than 100,000 different plants that decorate the city of Odense. Different themes set who the city is decorated. This years theme was "On a time-travel: With time in the center". A magnificent name.
From right at the moment Crown Princess Mary arrived everybody wanted her attention. Everyone smiled, waved and called to get a glimpse of her. She returned bouquets of flowers with kind smiles and handshakes. Peter Rahbæk Juel, Mayor of Odense warmly welcomed the Crown Princess at the arrival. What a pleasure to have a Crown Princess in town when such a big event is taking place. During her visit she met with both gardeners and volunteers, who created all of the stunning flower decorations.

What else then a floral dress for the opening of a flower festival? I absolutely love that Mary showed up I this reused Rotate dress all covered in colorful flowers. It is both kinda obvious for her to wear such dress and clever. Don't think I would have guessed for her to wear floral print. Had you guessed it? Once before she has worn this incredible Rotate dress. It was when she Rotate's show at Copenhagen Fashion Week on January 31st 2019, here. Back then we didn't really get a close look at the dress because she also was wearing a rather large black blazer. But not this time.
Mary decided to wear a reused belt as well. A lovely burgundy belt with an asymmetric closure. I never been able to identify where it is from, but she first wore it with her ArtFusion dress in August 8th last year, here. And then again when visiting Holstebro in October 2016, here. Have you ever seen anything like it? It is very different, but I like how it is all asymmetric and colorful.
As jewellery Mary embraced the style with old earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a ring from that same designer. Two outstanding pieces of jewellery. Simple, yet elegant and fashionable year after year. I wonder if she was also wearing some bracelets? It is likely, but I don't have any picture to prove it. She was also wearing her Nadia Shelbaya necklace. The beautiful and simple pumps are from legendary Christian Louboutin.
