Prince Félix of Luxembourg and
his bride, Claire Lademacher, had a big
church wedding on Saturday, four days after officially tying the knot in a
simple civil service.
The civil ceremony was an
intimate affair held in the bride's home country of Germany, and she wore a
knee-length white peplum dress with cap sleeves, but the 28-year-old doctorate
student pulled out all the stops for her fairytale nuptials in front of 350
guests in a 13th century church in the French town of
Saint-Maxim-La-Sainte-Baum.
Princess Claire of Luxembourg
was picture-perfect in a stunning wedding gown by Elie Saab as she walked the
aisle on Saturday.
The new princess wowed the crowds in an
ivory-coloured silk dress intricately embroidered with Chantilly lace floral
motifs and glimmering silver thread.
The form-fitting gown by the Lebanese designer
favoured by the Luxembourgish royal family extended to a three-metre long
flowing train while the neo baroque flower detail continued through the length
of her silk tulle veil.
Prince Felix's wife chose a glittering tiara
to sit atop her glossy brunette locks on her special day. It is believed that
she wore the Grand Ducal family's diamond floral tiara favoured by Grand
Duchess Maria Teresa.
The Spanish tiara was a wedding present from
the government to Queen Sofia whilst the Danish piece was given to Queen
Margrethe by her parents, Frederik and Ingrid.
A pair of dazzling diamond earrings, believed
to be the same as those worn born Princess Stephanie of Luxembourg and the
Grand Duchess Maria Teresa on their wedding days, complemented the stunning
headpiece.
She wore low-heeled white shoes with a
delicate ankle strap which carried on the pretty floral theme and she carried a
simple bouquet of white blooms.
An bun that sat at the nape of her neck
finished off the elegant effect.
The 28-year-old bride was walked down the
aisle by her father Hartmut Lademacher, a German telecoms millionaire.
