On April 6, 2024, Spain's former King Juan Carlos, Infanta Cristina, Infanta Elena, Juan Urdangarin, Felipe Juan Froilan and Victoria Federica attended the wedding of Madrid's Mayor Jose Luis Martinez Almeida and his fiancée Tereza Urquijo at church of San Francisco Borja in Madrid. Almeida has been a member of the Madrid City Council since 2015 and has been Mayor of Madrid since 2019.
Beautiful bride!
ReplyDeleteE che bel vestito di famiglia!

i never thought King Juan would ever return to Spain. This is the most glamed up his daughters have ever looked,
ReplyDeleteOh my word, how tall is Victoria Federica de Marichalar y de Borbon? I mean, yes, she's wearing some heels, but still. Fashionwise the King's sisters, plus also Victoria, do look a bit drab in their outfits. Infanta Elena stands out a bit, her dress is a nice length, but I think it too ordinary for a wedding. The bridal gown is lovely with the brocade pattern in the fabric, but I'm no fan of the round and high neck.
ReplyDeleteDark brown is a fashion color for the summer. Yesterday Princess Charlene wore a dark brown dress to present the Red Cross' first aid diplomas, today Infanta Cristina wore a dark brown ensemble of pants and a top. I like it.
Delete@ DSC the days that people (aristocrats included) spent a lot of money on clothes and accessories to assist at a wedding are over. Everybody (unless you are very rich) has to coop with higher costs for everything : energy, water (received my bill today), renovation works to the house to save energy during winter, the price for food, etc...).
Well, there were many, many other guests attending this wedding dressed in lovely dresses plus hats/fascinators, and a lot of them wore vibrant spring colours. I do not think that a higher energy bill came much into play when they considered their outfits for the wedding. Most of them looked very posh and classy. The Borbon family, however, much less so.
DeleteI love the darkbrown outfit of Infanta Cristina (? I always doubt who is who).
ReplyDeleteThe hairstyle is lovely, the earrings, the accessories, etc... The bride is lovely, but I prefer a plain satin or silk dress instead of jacquard fabric.
its terrible, Spanish people don't know how to dress. even the whole congregation in the background No Effort!
Deleteits only the tall daughter, Victoria Federica who came close to trying.

Anonymous 18:23 - against which benchmark are you judging? Different countries have different norms. This is an upper class wedding so no doubt guests have plenty of money and have chosen what’s acceptable and what they individually enjoy. (Grace)
DeleteThe whole congregation are people who were in the street, the church is in the city center, the...the infantas always have been like that...

DeleteAn upper class wedding ? The mayor of Madrid is elected by the people, in fact he is an adminstrator of the town of Madrid just like any other mayor of any other European town. There were guests from the upper class yes, which does not mean they have to wear their best outfits to assist at this wedding.

The bride’s dress is so pretty and the material is lovely. And how nice it is to see a bride that doesn’t have all her ‘goodies’ hanging out. (Sorry, I’m a modest person…less is more!)
ReplyDeleteThe gown belongs to her grandmother.
DeleteDesde mi punto de vista, el vestido de la Infanta Cristina, es muy bonito, pero demasiado oscuro para acudir a una boda en primavera en horario diurno. El vestido de la Infanta Elena, demasiado estampado y las medias blancas y los zapatos negros no ayudan. El vestido de Victoria, es muy bonito también, pero con un bolso, tambien estampado, y ademas diferente del estampado del vestido, no es buena combinación. Al igual que las sandalias con plataforma de color granate. Unos stilettos del mismo juego, hubieran ido divinos. Para mi, el mejor es el vestido de Doña Teresa Urquijo, la novia. No se muestra, foto de la reina Sofia, tengo que decir que iba muy, muy elegante con un traje chaqueta pantalon con bordados, en un tono primaveral. Para mi, fue sin duda, la reina Sofia, la más correcta.
ReplyDeleteIts lovely to see father and daughters at this wedding. The bride looked lovely.
ReplyDeleteQuelle belle mariée ; j'aime beaucoup le tissu de sa robe !
ReplyDeleteThe happy Couple. I wish them the best for their future together. I like the outfit Christina is wearing better then Elena's dress. Elenas daughter is very tall, her brother seems to have settled down, since living in Dubai. He seems to have a little bit of arrogance? OMO. Nice to see so many people at this wedding. css
ReplyDeleteHappy couple,vintage wedding dress but i dislike the age difference..
ReplyDeleteWhy would it bother you if they are happy? The lovely bride is in her late 20s, presumably of an age where she is mature enough to know her own mind.
DeleteOn another site the congregation are dressed for a Spring wedding, which makes the Spanish royals look really drab, no effort has been made (imo). The brides dress belonged to her grandmother, was altered for her mother and again for her. So, whilst I really do not like it I sympathise with the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteThey do the effort but they can't...always have had very bad taste...in Spain they were called..'eleph.infantas'...
Delete@ m, your comment about Spanish people it’s rude and of course like most ignorant comments it generalizes. In my opinion Spaniards dress rather well, their affordable brands like Zara and Mango are very trendy and sleek, also there is a bunch of mid range designers that have very good fabrics and elegant designs.
ReplyDeleteThis was an afternoon wedding so people wore more casual outfits, notwithstanding the people that always dress up for weddings. I like Infanta Cristina’s outfit very much, deeply dislike Elena’s , and of course Victoria Federica is edgy although I am lukewarm about this particular dress,
