Here, I think that's what you're looking for :

Well, I think it doesn't quite ressemble Mette-Marit's wedding gown after all... funny, because most magazines (Hello, Hola, etc.) have stated that Mette-Marit's dress was a nearly exact replica of the dress that Queen Maud wore in her wedding to Haakon VII... but I don't actually see much similarity.

Anyway, thank you very much!

I had been looking for a while on the Web for a picture of the real Sissi on her wedding day, as everyone says her attire was so beautiful and, well, epic.

I have to say this particular picture seems a bit disappointing. There isn't even a veil!
Are there Sissi fans out there on the Forum who know whether:
-this is the indeed what Elisabeth wore on her big day
-whether she also had a veil
-there are better pictures out there in cyber space we could link to

By the way, the picture is titled: "sisi als Braut". Or: Sisi as a bride.
So it should be accurate..

Thanks

Hi princess olga!
If have seen some time ago on the Austrian TV a reportage about Sisi and the wedding and it was said, that the wedding was private and the public has never seen the bridal couple. An as a tradition the wedding gown was given to a monastery and they made a vesper mantle of the gown.
The whole thing you can read here: Hofburg - Kaiserappartements - Silberkammer- Vespermantel
Hope this answers your question.
