Hi Nonny,

That is a lot of royals! I couldn't possibly read on all of them and still keep up with my main interest, the BRF. I believe many of those individuals are still children, and I do not feel comfortable reading on children. 16 years old is around my cut off limit for reading on people.

I know I did a reading last year on Princess Catharina-Amalia, and now I can't find it. I was going to put the link here for you.

[claireofluxembourg]

Princess Marie-Gabrielle of Nassau got married to Mr. Antonius Willms this past monday on a civil ceremony in Luxembourg City. Several members of the Grand Ducal Family attended, including Grand Duke Henri, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, Crown Prince Guillaume, Crown Princess Stéphanie, Princess Alexandra, Princess Louis and Princess Margaretha of Liechtenstein.

Prince Jean and Hélène Vestur, parents of the bride as well as Hayo Willms and Countess Maria Theresia von Goess, parents of the groom were also present.

Prince Constantin of Nassau and Johannes Willms were appointed as witnesses.

Honestly I was wondering when was this wedding taking place. Best wishes to Marie-Gabrielle!

Morgan’s Top 10 Favorite Royal(ish) Wedding Gowns

Once again, @claireofluxembourg​, @queensonjas​, and @wonderfullyroyal​ (and everyone else who’s doing this now) have both inspired me and reminded me that I have opinions about royal/noble wedding gowns.

This round was more fun, because who doesn’t love a fabulous gown? As with last time, this is called “favorite” and not “best” because these are 100% my own opinions and also my own bias. Again, these are all from the 2000′s, although doing a top 10 favorite gowns from before the 2000′s would be...an interesting challenge.

Bonus Round: Queen Jetsun Pema of Bhutan

This list (like the last one) is very European royal-centric, but we have to give a major shout-out and honorable mention to the most ridiculously attractive couple on the planet, the King and Queen of Bhutan. It’s almost not fair to compare this wedding look to every other one on this list because it’s so different, but this gets a mention for the sheer colorfulness and intricacy of the embroidery and weaving - it’s incredible.

10. Princess Eugenie of York

Not a gown I’d wear myself, but Eugenie looks fabulous and this gown is beautiful, both on her and in general. Maybe my favorite part is the low-cut back designed to show the scar from her scoliosis surgery. I love the non-sheer long sleeves, something we don’t see often enough among royal brides these days, and also that Greville Emerald tiara. Eugenie rocks a major tiara just like I knew she would (three cheers for a colorful bridal tiara).

9. Princess Elisabetta, Archduchess of Austria-Este

Listen, I really love this gown. Are the lace-lined seams on the bodice and sleeves kind of weird? Yeah, but I think it works on Lili and she looks fabulous. I actually really like the point d’esprit (the little dots on the lace) and I think it lightens it up for her really well. The veil is beautiful, and I love, love, love that tiara. We won’t talk about Lili’s husband, but she looks fabulous, and I love this gown fight me.

8. Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway

Something of an oldie, but still a goodie - we just won’t talk about how young and nerdy Haakon looks here. This is only number 8 on this list but that shouldn’t fool you because I love this gown. It’s so simple but done so well, and makes it look like she’s floating on a cloud or something. I love the veil and I’m iffy on the tiara, but this is so Mette-Marit and I love it.

7. Princess Claire of Luxembourg

An Elie Saab and Luxembourg gown so far down on the list? I know, I’m surprised myself. But seriously, she looks beautiful and the gown is fab - Elie Saab is incredible and the lace and embroidery on this one is so intricate. I also love that you can actually see the lace on the skirt - so often it gets lost if you’re not looking at close-up shots, but not here. Beautiful bride, beautiful tiara, beautiful gown.

6. Duchess of Sussex

Tailoring and fit issues aside, this is a beautiful gown, and I would wear one just like this in a heartbeat. The sort of off-the-shoulder neckline is really flattering on Meghan, and as always I give three cheers for a gown with non-lace, non-sheer long sleeves (and also a waist!). The veil is beautiful, and I love anyone who goes digging around in the family jewel vault for a tiara we haven’t seen in years. I love a good lace gown, but this was perfect for Meghan and looks fabulous.

5. Princess Viktoria of Bourbon-Parma

Moving into the royal-ish part of this list, Viktoria is married to Prince Jaime of Bourbon-Parma, one of Willem-Alexander’s cousins - Jaime’s mother is Princess Irene, younger sister of Princess Beatrix. Family trees aside, this is a beautiful gown, although I feel like this might be a little but of an unpopular opinion. It’s very simple, except for the (admittedly odd) textured embroidery along the hem - I think they’re flowers? But like Meghan’s gown, I’d wear this one in a heartbeat, and Viktoria looked great - special shout out to the Ears of Wheat tiara and her beautiful veil.

4. Princess Marie-Gabrielle of Nassau

Another gown with another relatively simple, long-sleeved front - are you sensing a theme here? Seriously, y’all are sleeping on Marie-Gabrielle. The back of the skirt is embroidered with flowers and sparklies and I love it. What I also love? That sapphire tiara - we don’t see nearly enough colorful bridal tiaras for my taste. This is another royal-ish entry - Marie-Gabrielle is the daughter of Prince Jean of Luxembourg, younger brother of Grand Duke Henri.

3. Beatrice Borromeo

Not quite royal, and also not traditional white. Beatrice wore like 5 dresses over the course of her wedding celebrations and looked fabulous in all of them (I’m a huge sucker for her reception gown after the religious ceremony) but for this list I’m absolutely in love with this Valentino gown for the civil ceremony, flower crown and all. It’s pretty and boho and a really nice color, and I’d love it if we could make gowns a thing for more civil royal weddings.

2. Princess Carolina of Bourbon-Parma

One more royal-ish gown - Princess Carolina of Bourbon-Parma, another one of Willem-Alexander’s cousins (Princess Irene’s daughter). This is just so pretty - it’s light and flowy and apparently includes heirloom family lace that Irene wore at her own wedding, which is always a nice touch. Another showing for the Ears of Wheat tiara and a beautiful lace veil - I really love this one.

1.  Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie of Luxembourg

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Stephanie’s Elie Saab gown is coming in first here. Come one now, you didn’t really think I’d pick anything else ;) I don’t even know what to say about this one that I haven’t gushed about before, but - the lace! the embroidery! the train! the veil! the Lannoy tiara! her hair! This is a royal wedding gown if ever there was one, and I love that about it.
