Christiansborg Palace Chapel, as it appears today, was built in the neo-classical style, and the floral decorations in connection with the Royal Christening have been made with inspiration drawn from early spring and the delicate, warm play of colours of the Palace Chapel. The decoration of the Palace Chapel has been carried out in cooperation between Her Majesty The Queen, Her Royal Highness The Crown Princess and Palaces and Properties Agency staff members that are connected with Fredensborg Palace Gardens.
The porch:
Eight cone-shaped laurel trees from the Orangery in Fredensborg Palace Gardens.
The interior of the Palace Chapel:
Two Viburnum tinus (Laurustinus) shrubs with white, fragrant flowers.
The viburnums, which are two-and-a-half-metre-tall, are placed immediately before the doors on either side of the entrance. Together with rhododendron from the Palace Gardens, the white viburnum flowers are to be found again in the decorations of the box pews.
The rows of pews:
Grape hyacinths and narcissi
