The bride and groom leaned into the colors of the summer season when it came to the décor for their royal nuptials, selecting an array of white and blue florals, including hydrangeas, for their celebration. Sprigs of natural greenery appeared between the blooms, adding a whimsical feel to the stately affair. A dark blue carpet was placed over the stairs leading up to the cathedral, providing a rich backdrop for the first official photos of the newlyweds.

For the occasion, the bride, who currently works in the fashion industry, donned a short-sleeve gown with lace detailing and intricate embroidery. She paired the piece with a cascading bouquet full of summer florals and a plumetis veil. The groom, who is originally from Venezuela, selected a black morning coat, a blue checkered tie, and gray pinstripe pants for the nuptials. His boutonnière coordinated with the florals in his partner's all-white arrangement. Leaning into royal traditions, the couple opted to have some of their loved ones serve as flower girls, including Princess Marie-Astrid's daughter, Althaea. The children complemented the bride's ensemble by each wearing a short-sleeve white dress with a green sash and a flower crown.

Princess Marie Caroline's $470K Heirloom Tiara

Adding a sentimental and historical touch to her ensemble, Princess Marie Caroline selected the Habsburg Fringe Tiara for her wedding. The piece, which dates back to 1890, was created by Köchert, the imperial court jeweler of the Habsburgs and features diamond set in gold and silver, according to The Court Jeweller. However, Princess Marie Caroline wasn't the only royal bride to don the valuable piece on her big day. In 1967, Countess Marie wore the accessory for her nuptials to Prince Hans-Adam II, Princess Marie Caroline's grandfather. According to the experts at Steven Stone, the tiara is one of the most impressive in the family's royal collection—and is estimated to be worth approximately $470,000. The princess paired the heirloom with a pair of diamond earrings.
