Am disappointed in her wedding dress. It does nothing to flatter her. However, she looks happy so that’s all that matters.
ReplyDeleteFar from disappointed. She has shown on several occasions that she goes for modern clothing styles.
Delete@c draper...my thoughts, love Eli Saab but this is not his bridal model...sadly it has nothing of princess Stephanie's bridal gown...by the way, for me the best worn lady at this wedding was Princess Stephanie.
DeleteMariaT: this dress model left her body square, so it wasn't a good choice.
DeleteI really hated the dress. It's really a matter of tastes. I found it really bizzare
DeleteBeautiful bride! Beautiful groom! (And Claire is the most elegant guest. )
ReplyDeletePants and a huge really strange looking creature sitting on one shoulder. The brides mother made sure she was the focus of attention, rather than allowing her daughter to shine on her wedding day.
ReplyDeleteYes agree with you. Outrageous and ridiculous gown of the bride’s mother! She is almost seen as her older sister rather than mother with excessive lifting of her face. 😵💫
DeleteSuz
Agree! Very strange of MT.
DeleteAgree !!
DeleteSomeone need to step up and be honest with MT about her fashion choices.
DeleteShe looks lovely and so very happy. Very handsome groom. Wonderful family celebration.
ReplyDeleteWhile everyone looks happy, the clothing is less than inspiring.
ReplyDeleteKim
Agreed. No one's looking there best here, although the groom is quite handsome and striking-looking.
DeleteAnd even the groom's suit, while otherwise nice, seems too big for him.
DeleteAlexandra looks lovely and truly happy. I do like the satin fabric of her wedding gown. I wish the design had been less imprisoned by stiff strapping. MT, mother-of-the-bride, stuns in a horrific black jumpsuit with a bright green floral carbuncle squished against and larger than her head. Absolutely the worst mother-of-the-bride outfit I’ve seen on a royal blog. The groom’s mother is refreshingly lovely in a delicate blue with floral overlay. Stephanie looks very well so soon postpartum in sparkling navy Elie Saab and Claire is OK for a sunny Spring wedding.
ReplyDeleteBright green carbuncle...😆! Absolutely agree..it looks like it is eating her up too! Awful and hideous outfit...
DeleteEli Swaab should be ashamed of not making a better weddingdress for this beautiful young woman,
ReplyDeleteMabel
I agree! So ill-fitting and the straps add inches of bulky fabric in the worse places. She’s a lovely young woman regardless. The Grand Duchess looks ridiculous. She needs to be reminded that less is more. MR
DeleteElie Saab didn't make a wedding dress - it is one dress of his last model show in some brownish color. For me Princess Stephanie was the elegantest lady here in her Elie Saab gown & her lovely smile... chapeau after the birth only some weeks ago
DeleteGreat look on the bride. She seemed to be over the moon, as was her husband. I also think that HGD Stephanie did well in her choice of dress. The Zuhair Murad number on Princess Claire is a great colour on her, though I am not a great fan of these Carmen-style off-the-shoulder looks. And then GD Maria Teresa. Good Gracious! You need to be a tall, slender person to pull that jumpsuit off. All else is simply not working.
ReplyDeleteI need to add that - looking at the pictures one day after - there indeed seems to have been a, however mildly, colour theme for this wedding. The page boys and flower girls are dressed in hues of blue, as is the groom's mother. She and HGD Stephanie (plus a bridesmaid, as far as I can see) were the only female adults to be dressed accordingly. GD Maria Teresa tried hard with that dark navy, but otherwise failed completely.
DeleteThe bride looks lovely but I think the lower draping is unnecessary and unbecoming. It look interesting on the super slim model but not on P Alexandra. The veil and tiara are lovely. HGD Stephany looks good in the blue dress as far as I can see, The rest of them including the groom, no no no
ReplyDeleteLadyofthemanor
I do so agree with the unnecessary second draping, otherwise the bride would be lovely next to her handsome man. I wish the couple a lot of happyness. MT she has no taste
DeleteI agree the lower draping is unnecessary.
DeleteI also agree with the comments the less than flattering lower draping. Fortunately, the upper part of the dress and the veil are very nice and the tiara is beautiful on Alexandra. The bride and groom look very happy. Best wishes to them for a happy life together!
DeleteThe wedding dress is nice but not flattering on her. Not a good choice for Alexandra.
ReplyDeleteSimply not a wedding gown
DeleteEveryone looks thrilled, not least bride and groom. Her tummy covering dress is interesting styling for a bridal frock; she looks brilliant and I think she could have worn any dress at all today and still have looked gorgeous due to that joy spilling over. He seems to have removed the bleached hair and is simply grey and looks stunningly happy too. Wishing them all the very best!
ReplyDeleteThat's because it was never bleached.
DeleteFor my taste, mother of the groom’s dress is today’s winner. - AnnaLise
ReplyDeleteI would certainly agree with that
DeleteAnnieM
I agree. Tasteful.
DeleteThe bride looks good. I am not sure about the other female relatives/ guests etc.. Starting with the bride's mother, she isn't tall and not really slim - aren't those green embellishments, especially that green flower on one shoulder too big for her petite figure? Clare's red Carmen-style dress - I am not a fan nor of the blue gown, Stéphanie wore. I think the bride, the Grand Duke and the groom were elegant. And I didn't like the "mixture" of colours, styles etc. in the outfits of the ladies who were some sort of bridesmaids, helping the bride with her veil.
ReplyDeleteBut they all looked very happy, a happy family gathering.
Pauline
Nobody from the women here is good dressed
ReplyDeleteAgree. For the publication : with prince Sebastian, it's Marie-Astrid of Liechtenstein, one of the daughter of princess Margaretha, sister of Grand Duke
DeleteWhat a beautiful bride. And handsome groom. Love the dress, though would like to see a proper photo from the front, and the sparkly veil. She looks gorgeous. Not a fan of GD Maria Theresa's outfit at all. A black or even dark navy trouser suit for the mother of the bride?? While the green may brighten it up, the huge shoulder rosette is just odd. Princess Stephanie and Princess Claire look good. Kudos to Princess Stephanie for getting back into shape so well. You'd not think that she had given birth just a month ago. Looks like a fab day for the whole family.
ReplyDeleteI knew she would go for a more clean, classy look than the floral/lacy gowns previously seen on the royal brides of Luxembourg. I think the dress is innovative and modern while still looking elegant and classic. Love the fabric. Also the veil and accessories are spot on 👌🏻 Well done, she looks herself and happy 👏🏻
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, good observation.
DeleteAside from the bride, I think the mother of the groom is the bestdressed.of the women featured in the photos. Her pale blue gown was modest with delicate embellishments. The Elie Saab designs are less than spectacular, but the bride is beautiful and her groom is quite distinguished. I would imagine they are pleased that the wedding ceremonies are complete. I hope they they have a long and happy marriage.
ReplyDeleteSorry disagree, Elie Saab are spectacular if you choose the right one for your body measures.
DeleteLook the precious wedding dress 10y ago of Princess Stephanie & she worn a very flattering Elie Saab gown on this occasion as well.
Not a fan of M.T. choice or Claire's one.
First the civil ceremony the bridge was dressed in an odd, boxy jacket outfit, for her wedding the dress as many crisscross pieces across the abdomen area, makes one give rise to wonder if . . .
ReplyDeleteYou are nosy and indelicate
DeleteYeah, I thought so, too
DeleteI think, the bride looked good, first on her civil wedding and now at the religious one. She wore an elegant cream-coloured ensemble with cape at the townhall.
DeletePauline
I too thought the bride wore a strange outfit for the civil ceremony, as well as her wedding. The comments from the original poster stated the obvious, after all it is each person's perception, and no need to belittle the original poster. I agree with him or her, the dress and civil suit were meant to distract attention, not garner praise. Also the mother of the bride wore a hideous outfit, and pants, to her only daughter's wedding. It was screaming, "look at me!" Gilli
DeletePS: Princess Stephanie and the bride grooms Mother were the best dressed of the event. Gilli
DeleteAll I can think of Is "What on earth was the Grand Duchess thinking?" The only one who looks elegant and ok is Princess Stephanie.
ReplyDeleteNot a big fan of the wedding dress but it surely is different and Alexandra looks so happy and beautiful! Maria Teresa's outfit is a horror..what was she thinking?
ReplyDeleteOh my! Firstly, Alexandra looks radiant--her veil and tiara are beautiful together. Her gown--a disappointment and a disappointment from Elie Saab who makes such gorgeous gowns too. I like that the fabric is such lustrous satin but the heavy criss-crossing in the bodice put bunchy material across her chest and her stomach--not flattering. I also think the long sleeves on the runway version are a vast improvement over the sleeveless version of the wedding dress. Again, Stephanie deserves an award for getting so dressed up and out of the house for a glamorous wedding--her gown looks lovely and she looks so happy. Quite disappointed in Claire's choice--it really doesn't flatter her although the color is flattering. Maria Theresa's choice is horrid, absolutely awful without a single redeeming comment possible. I cannot of the life of me understand what she was thinking by choosing this horror to wear to the wedding of her only daughter. Perhaps if Elile Saab convinced her to remove that hideous lettuce head off her shoulder? Still, black for her daughter's wedding? Not to mention it is a jumpsuit which is absolutely unflattering on her. The only people (guests) whose attire is wonderful are the mother of the groom, whose blue gown is elegant, and the Grand Duke who almost always look elegant and debonaire.
ReplyDeleteJanet
It seems man of the Ladies did not know what to wear? The outfit GDss MT wore looked nice by itself, but with that huge green salad head was not that great, I belief that they all could have done better. The best dressed IMO was Nicolas Mother, color and style I am not a fan of the Wedding gown. But than again I am not the one wearing it. This is not about the fashions but the happiness of Alexandra and Nicolas. I wish them the best for the future. Yes they really looked happy.
ReplyDeleteThe bride looks happy in her wedding dress. The skirt pattern is a bit boring and ruins the whole dress. The mother of the bride's outfit is not flattering. And it is a no-go to wear black at a wedding. What was the Grand Duchess thinking to wear a black jumpsuit to the wedding of her only daughter? And the off-shoulder Carmen-dress of Princess Claire is also a no-go for a ceremony in a church. You have to cover your shoulders in a Catholic church. The dress of Stephanie is lovely but too dark and sombre for a wedding.
ReplyDeleteGD María Teresa’s pantsuit is not black. It is navy.
DeleteWearing dark colors or black to a wedding is not forbidden as it once was.
DeleteMaria Teresa is determined to wear what she likes, not what favors her. I would have much preferred if she had worn a dress for the religious ceremony since it is a formal event. She could have gotten away with an iteration of what she is wearing if it had been a gown instead of a jumpsuit and the flower had been halved in size.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the model's gown over Alexandra's. The fabric on Alexandra's gown is bulkier, making the draping thicker. I think it would have flattered her more if it had been more delicate.
The bride looks radiant and happy. I don't like her gown, the criss cross features add bulk side on view. The choice of tiara I am not a fan of, the earrings are lacking substance.
ReplyDeleteGD MT, this jumpsuit looked better on the model photo I saw, she was quite tall. This outfit does not do the GD justice.
Stephanie's blue lace gown is beautiful, but not for daytime, she looks very pretty.
The rest of the gowns, don't appeal to me.
The mother of the bride looked beautiful, tasteful, elegant and very feminine dress.
You mean the mother of the groom, right?🤔
DeleteYou are right but not for mother groom. Too much buttons.
DeleteRelooking at the photos the dress length of the flower girls is wrong as well. I like the GD outfit after the shock of the huge flower, it grows on you.
ReplyDeleteLove the off white/ivory colour of the wedding dress. The veil is delicate & pretty. Hair looks good up simple & elegant & like the natural make-up. The dress love the skirt part it flows the bodice is a bit of a hit & miss. The hit is the pleated effect the miss is it doesn't flatter Alexandra's figure it looks bulky & the v neck appears a little low. Princess Claire as always is a winner in the fashion stakes. As for Maria Teresa as harsh as it sounds what is that thing on her, weird thumbs down . Mary
ReplyDeleteI specify that it can be seen that the bride is happy, she's a pretty girl and it's clear that it's a happy day for everyone present.
ReplyDeleteBut here we are talking about outfits and there isn't a dress that I like.
After Stefanie and Claire's wedding dresses, which I found beautiful, I really don't like this one, especially because it doesn't flatter the bride.
He squeezes her breasts and spreads her hips.
A no also for the mother of the bride: she seems to have no neck, no bust, no waist.
I think an A-line dress would have been better for Stefanie, as she has just given birth a few days ago.
And the color is too dark.
Claire's dress would have survived if it weren't for that low neckline.
The mother of the groom appears to be wearing a country dress and the girl in orange would be better suited for a stroll along the seafront.
Unfortunately I don't save even one dress, but the important thing in the end is that it was a good day for them.
Agree with what you write about MT's dress and Stéphanie's dress. Her gown is too dark and not chic at all. She can't of course have a slim waist and belly one month after having given birth. The same is true of the blue dress she wore at the civil wedding.
DeletePauline
Horrible dressed All women!
ReplyDeleteAgree. I am amazed. How can the result be so bad, when they have all the money you could ever dream of to spend? The bride is pretty all the same, even if the Elie Saab dress is very disappointing. All the dresses of the other ladies are not very flattering (to be polite) ,especially those off the shoulders dresses.. and the mother of the bride… I am speechless
DeleteEveryone lacks style and elegance, something money can’t buy.
ReplyDeleteLet’s hope they had fun, at least!
Well everything has been said. From what I saw on other websites and video's this wedding was a happy family gathering in the south of France, near the family villa of GD Henri and GD M Teresa in Cabasson not far from Bormes-les-Mimosas. I think everyone could wear what they feel like. The most important thing is that the bride and groom looked very happy on this special day. The best fashion item on this wedding was Princess Alexandra's tiara (a crown jewel) and veil and her delicate make-up.
ReplyDeleteMaria Teresa looks ridiculous in that outfit with the huge green thing (carbuncle is a good word to describe it). The bride looks happy but her dress does not fit her well and her tiara is not the best. The groom's mother looks nice. The men look pretty good. And that's about it.
ReplyDeleteApparently, the grand Ducal Family of Luxembourg has the worst fashion sense among all royal families around the world. Nevertheless, they seem to have a good time and I wish the newlyweds nothing but happines.
ReplyDeleteLa Grande-Duchesse a une salade sur l'épaule !!!
ReplyDeleteLa Grande-Duchesse a une salade sur l'épaule !!!
ReplyDeleteI feel just awful saying this but The Grand Duchess MariaTeresa looks like twins cojoined at the shoulder but she looks like a cabbage patch doll instead cojoined to her. forgive me Lord! Fitzhugh
ReplyDeleteLa mariée est ravissante avec cette robe dans un style moderne au joli drapé ; magnifique diadème. Maria Teresa porte une tenue avec un énorme rajout vert qui me fait penser à une salade plus grosse que sa tête ; je préfère largement la robe imprimée de la mère du marié au délicat petit boutonnage ; quant à Stéphanie, j'aime beaucoup l'élégance de sa robe en dentelle mais dans une couleur plus douce, elle aurait été au top !
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, at this wedding none of the women were well dressed. The wedding dress just unflattering a lot because of these wide bands and makes the waist disappear completely. I can imagine such a dress only on very tall, flat/boyish/skinny women, like Princess Catherine or Gwyneth Paltrow.
ReplyDeleteThen I also don't understand these evening dresses for an afternoon wedding. Long dresses I understand if the celebration goes into the evening, but sequins, black taffeta and glitter I don't get. On top of that, it might fit for some places like downtown Manhattan, but not a sleepy village in the south of France. From the cut I find Claire's dress quite good, but the sequins are just over the top. the same issue with Stephanie. This is a dress for BAFTas, but not for a country wedding.
Wow is there something I'm not getting about the Lux? This is a bunch of weird dress choices, and not in a good way.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Time to call a new stylist!! The groom's mother looks very nice though!
DeleteI know right... Ah, my eyes!
DeleteDon't like any of the dresses but they all look genuinely happy.
ReplyDeleteThat's the most important!
Princess Stephanie looks really lovely, very beautiful hairdo as well. But most others, especially the women, seriously, what were they thinking? A disaster.
ReplyDeleteFashion wise, not very interesting. A flop.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the photos I immediately thought of the saying, “you can’t buy good taste with money”.
I hope that the cabbage the Grand Duchess has pressing against her face was organically grown.
If not, she could get a nasty rash on her skin from all the pesticides used.
Putting fashion aside it is good to see the family united and enjoying this happy event.
I wish the newly weds a long and happy marriage.
I am not a fan of the wedding gown. But looking at the bride and how happy she is, I can overlook all the underwhelming outfits. The grooms mother looked stunning, so did Stephanie and Claire. css
ReplyDeleteThe bride Princess Alexandra looks lovely, but her gown is special , and the guests are dressed as they are going to a concert or just a party not a church ceremony. Especially not GD Maria Teresa and Princess Claire! imo.

ReplyDeleteThe bride in herself looks beautiful and radiantly happy, however in my opinion her gown reminds me of a bed sheet fashioned into a gown.
ReplyDeleteThe winner in the fashion stake is Stephanie. Lovely dress in a colour and style which flatters her, everyone else including MT get a big NO from me.
