Everything about Kate Middleton's (then) April 29, 2011 bridal look is iconic. However, according to the Mirror, Kate preferred to wear a flower crown instead (as her mother Carole Middleton did at her own wedding in 1980) and almost avoided wearing a tiara altogether.

Kate eventually agreed to a tiara, which she chose, with 739 brilliant-cut diamonds and 149 baguette diamonds. The tiara was made in 1936 and purchased by the late Queen's father, then Duke of York, for the Queen Mother, then Duchess of York. It was purchased just three weeks before the Duke of York succeeded his brother Edward VIII in the abdication and became King George VI. The tiara was given to the late then Princess Elizabeth by her mother on her 18th birthday in 1944.

And Kate's wish to wear a flower crown to her wedding prevailed over the flower crowns the young bridesmaids wore in their hair.

"Kate gets to pick out the jewelry for the big day, and the (late) queen is happy to open the jewelry box," a source told Grazia before the queen's death last September. 'Kate is very good at getting to know Angela Kelly, who is in charge of the Queen's personal jewelry collection and oversees its lending. Generally, Kate is allowed to borrow whatever she likes."

The Queen's personal collection of jewelry is also a very important part of the Queen's personal collection.

Now, what tiara, if any, will Kate wear at Prince Charles' coronation on May 6?
