THE GOLD STATUES IN MASQUERADE
In the version designed by Andrew Riley (Romania, Norway, Greece, Middle East Tour) the middle mirror set is flanked by four gold sculptures - two at the mantle, and two next to the mantle, carrying candelabras. During Masquerade the candelabra sculptures breaks free and dance with the other guests - which is a nice surprise. So here is a photoset devoted to that!

Miss Universe Norway 2023 National Costume
A tribute to Her Majesty Queen Sonja of Norway, who has an interest in quality, sewing, reuse and craftsmanship. The Queen studied dressmaking and tailoring, and is known as 'Queen of reuse' - an honorary title given to her long before the circular economy became part of the Norwegian vernacular. This elaborate regal version of the Norwegian 'Bunad' features; the Norwegian national emblem depicting a golden lion, bearing a golden crown & axe representing the Kingdom; the iconic & traditional form of decorative Norwegian needlework hardangersom (Hardanger embroidery), made in modern techniques with up-cycled materials; And the Norwegian national tricolour of red, white & blue, three colours that denote freedom.

The Norwegian Bunad and Wedding Attire
You might have heard of the traditional folk costumes of Norway; the bunad. In case you aren't familiar, here are some examples;
These are mostly worn for special occasions; constitution day, confirmations, anniversaries, christmas celebrations, graduation day, and of course - weddings, which is what this post will be about!
For Norwegian weddings, it's most common to see the bride wearing white and some guests wearing their bunad. There is however bunader that are designed for the bride to wear, which is the bunad I will be showing you today; brudebunad! (trans. bride bunad)
Keep in mind that bunader are very region-specific, and traditionally you wear the bunad of the place you grew up, or alternatively where one of your parents is from (there's also people who inherit their bunad from relatives; like me!). Some brudebunad consist of the regular bunad but with added jewellery and a crown; others have a specific brudebunad. Many are custom made or reconstructed from known older bunader.
Now, on to the brudebunad;
I'm starting us off with the bunad that my mom wore; Romsdalsbunad, from Møre og Romsdal. (that's her on her wedding day in the picture!)
2. from Hallingdal, Buskerud
3. from Hardanger (general)
4. from Sørre Valdres
5. from Voss, Vestland
6. from Nordhordland, Vestland
7. from Ålmli, Aust-Agder
Hope this gave inspiration, whether it's for your Norwegian characters who are getting married or for a fantasy people who is inspired by Scandinavia!<3
If I got any of them very wrong, please let me know!
