If you haven't been living under a rock for the past week where access to our little place was somehow not possible, you probably have already heard that Princess Marie-Gabrielle, oldest child and only daughter of Prince Jean and his former wife Hélène Vestur, married Antonius Willms last weekend. 

Relive our wedding coverage including an extensive guest list and fashion identifications right here. To round off our wedding coverage, here are some official pictures of the wedding, including a family picture of the bridal couple, their parents, brothers(-in-law) and sisters(-in-law), their nieces and the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess.

Princess Marie-Gabrielle wore a stunning wedding gown by Spanish designer Lorenzo Caprile with 5000 flowers and 10000 Swarovski crystals on the train. She anchored her veil with the Grand Duchess Adelaide Tiara making it a new wedding tiara for the Grand Ducal Family. In addition to the previous fashion identifcations, we can also tell you that the flower children's dresses were made by Spaish brand Labubé.

And with that, we wish the lovely couple a wonderful honeymoon and a lifetime of happiness together! 

Fashion Friday: Wedding Edition

This is our first Fashion Friday post after the Grand Ducal Family's holidays and it is a wedding edition! This past Saturday, Princess Marie-Gabrielle of Nassau and Antonius Willms's religious wedding took place in Spain with many royal guests in attendance. A day prior to the big day, the guests attended the pre-wedding party. Here is what I could identify.

Princess Marie-Gabrielle of Nassau wore a custom made Pedro del Hierro dress at the party.

Grand Duchess Maria Teresa wore a printed maxi dress to this party. Sadly, I don't have any information about it but it certainly was an interesting outfit for Maria Teresa!

Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie wore the print jumpsuit she first wore in Cannes with her favorite Castaner wedges.

Princess Claire wore a yellow Self-Portrait dress with her yellow Bottega Veneta clutch. I believe her shoes are from Castaner but haven't found the right model yet.

Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie wore a new Emilio Pucci gown with matching bag and shoes. I believe her clutch is by Natan (see similar model pictured) and that the shoes could be from her favorite brand, Sergio Rossi.

As always, I'm still working on the outfits of the other guests we want to cover here so I will update the post is I can find anything else. If you do have any ideas or identification for some of the guests, don't hesitate to share! What did you think of the guests's outfits during this weekend?

The Guest List So Far... **

Any major event (wedding!) of the Grand Ducal Family calls for one of our (in)famous guest lists! So here we go again... Here's our not very exhaustive (but probably exhausting) guest list. I suspect that we have missed many guests or that we might have misidentified some of them, so apologies if that indeed happened. The guest list below is not in alphabetical order, as you will notice pretty soon, though we did try to group family members together. Underage children are listed directly with their parents.

It's entirely possible that more pictures will surface in the hours and days to come. Whenever we spy a new guest, we will make sure to update this list. If you find out about the attendance of an previously unmentioned guest, please let us know, it is much appreciated. Before we start: Many thanks to everyone who helped (you know who you are)!

More Pictures from Marie-Gabrielle's and Antonius' Wedding

All photos: GTRES

Yesterday, Princess Marie-Gabrielle of Nassau, the Grand Duke's niece, and Antonius Willms tied the knot in a religious ceremony at the Iglesia del Santo Cristo in Marbella. Pictures of the guests as well as better pictures of the bridal couple can be found at PPE and by GTRES. (Just type in "Marie-Gabrielle wedding" in the latter link.) Much of the Grand Ducal Family and a mix of royalty and nobility mainly from Belgium, Germany and Austria with a few international guests thrown in were in attendance. We will cover not all but many of them in a separate post.

The Princess Marie-Gabrielle and Antonius Willms were married by Father Paul Habsburg. Princess Marie-Gabrielle wore a white wedding gown by Lorenzo Caprile adorned with flowers and some 10,000 Swarovski crystals mainly of the train. She anchored her veil with the Grand Duchess Adelaide Tiara making it a wedding tiara for the first time. For more details on the wedding, have a look here.

First Wedding Pictures From Marbella

Photo: El Espanol

Princess Marie-Gabrielle and Antonius Willms said their "I Dos" in a religious wedding ceremony in Marbella, Spain, today. The couple was joined by some 300 family members and guests at the Iglesia del Santo Cristo. Princess Marie-Gabrielle wore a white wedding gown by Lorenzo Caprile adorned with flowers and some 10,000 Swarovski crystals. She anchored her veil with the Grand Duchess Adelaide Tiara. The oldest child and only daughter of Prince Jean and his former wife Hélène Vestur, who was given away by her father, offered her bouquet of flowers to the statue of the Virgin Mary after the ceremony.

El Español has an article with a few pictures of the wedding today mixed with visuals of yesterday's pre-wedding party, that seems to have taken place at the Marbella Club instead of Llanis de Belvis, the estate own by the groom's sister and brother-in-law. While hopefully more and better photos will come in over the coming days, I can already tell you that the following members of the Grand Ducal Family attended the celebrations: Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie, Prince Félix and Princess Claire, Prince Louis, Princess Alexandra, the bride's brothers Prince Constantin and Prince Carl, her cousins Princess Anunciata and Princess Astrid as well as her uncle Archduke Carl-Christian.

Princess Marie-Gabrielle Has Civil Wedding in Luxembourg

Photo: Valentin Dupont

Princess Marie-Gabrielle, daughter of Prince Jean and thus niece of Grand Duke Henri, and her future husband Antonius Willms have chosen Luxembourg as the place for their civil wedding. The city of Luxembourg published the official publication du mariage today. The notice of intended marriage is commonly published ten days prior to the wedding day (as the notice must be on public display for ten days) meaning that the couple may tie the knot as early as Saturday, April 1. However, it is also possible to marry within a year as the marriage must take place within twelve months following the publication. The couple will certainly have their religious wedding in Spain later this year.

Princess Marie-Gabrielle was born on September 8, 1986, in Paris, France, as the first child and only daughter of Prince Jean and his first wife Hélène Vestur. Marie-Gabrielle has three younger brothers. Antonius Willms is the son of Hayo Willms and Countess Maria Theresia of Goess-Saurau. He was born in Atlanta, Georgia, United States on December 22, 1988. The couple's engagement became public in early January of this year.
