A Royal Wedding! All the Details on Princess Stephanie’s Nuptials, From the Gown to the Hats

Posted by , on October 22, 2012 at 6:26 pm

Over the weekend, Countess Stephanie of Belgium and Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg married in a lavish two-day ceremony. Read on to see her gorgeous gown and the spectacular hats worn by some of the guests!

The 28-year-old bride arrives at the Cathedral of our Lady of Luxembourg wearing a spectacular Elie Saab gown.

The bride wore a simple tiara with a cathedral-length lace veil.

Here, a closer look at the lovely lace details on her veil.

Like any good princess-to-be, the bride's dress featured a jaw-dropping train. 

The bridesmaids wore soft peach-colored gowns with bow details at the back.

The flower girls and ring bearers were decked out in bold blue and orange.

After the ceremony, the dashing bride and groom greeted their adoring public from a balcony.

Later in the evening, the bride changed into a chic white dress and matching wrap to watch the fireworks display held in honor of the royal couple.

Of course, this being a royal wedding, the hats on display among the wedding guests were worthy of a double-take. Here, Princess Maxima of the Netherlands dons a feathered confection. 

Princess Marie Chantal of Greece wears an architectural gray fascinator. 

Countess Diane of Nassau wears a bold scarlet fascinator.

Princess Victoria of Sweden's hat featured loads of tulle and delicate flowers. 

Countess Luisa de Lannoy wore one of the event's more avant garde headpieces -- a sculptural ribbon with little feathers. 

Nathalie Hamilton also opted for a tulle headpiece in a moody shade of purple.

Princess Sophie of Wessex wore a sweeping black topper, embellished with feathers.

Princess Caroline of Hanover sported a tulle-topped confection that matched her taupe dress. 

Princess Maertha Louise of Norway also opted for neutral tones, wearing a chic dark gray hat with a silvery dress. 

Princess Tessy of Luxembourg was also a vision in gray in this dramatic headpiece.

Countess Alice de Lannoy wore a bright red hat whose silhouette resembled a simple sun hat—albeit with a dash of whimsy, courtesy of a few well-placed feathers.

While Kate Middleton and Prince William may have had one of the most publicized royal weddings in history, a ceremony took place this weekend in Luxembourg that was just as spectacular.

Countess Stephanie of Belgium (now Princess Stephanie) married Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg in a dazzling two-day ceremony, wearing a jaw-dropping Elie Saab gown which featured a cathedral-length veil and a train for days. True to form, the guests—many of them royalty themselves—put on their best finery (and their most elaborate hats!) to celebrate the royal couple.

Here, get a peek at all of the elaborate fanfare surrounding the big day—from the bride’s gown to the flower girls.

    At least she is called Countess Stephanie and not by her maiden name as the tabloids continue to with Catherine (i,e, Kate Middleton, who ever that is). It’s a losing battle.

    Just thought I’d share:

    “Kate Middleton and her husband Prince William are not visiting Ireland. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are, to use their correct titles. Please show some respect.”

      She is called Countess Stephanie because she was born a countess, she is of nobel birth; Unlike our beloved Catherine, a commoner. The media calls Catherine by her maiden name because that’s how we began to call her before she was married and it’s simply just ‘stuck’ and makes it seem as if she is still the catherine that we knew before she married and because the duchess.

    I love how they refer to the Duchess of Cambridge as “Kate Middleton”, but Countess Sophie, wife of Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, is referred to as “Princess Sophie of Wessex”. She’s “technically” not a Princess anymore than the Duchess of Cambridge is. Her correct title would be “Countess Sophie” or “Princess Edward” as the Duchess Catherine could be called Princess William. And she’s of even more “common birth” than Duchess Catherine!!!

    Such double standards and BS.

      Prince Edward’s wife can be called a Princess because he is married to a Prince son of the Queen. If Prince Charles becomes a King then Catherine can then be called a Princess…
