Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece & Marie Chantal Miller 1995

[Isabel]

I think that the wedding gown was really very beautiful, but it wasn't for Marie Chantal. It would have looked better on an older or even less petite bride. That's an awful lot of fabric for someone of her stature.

Who is the lady in the pink ballgown with the bows as sleaves ?

[lallettac]

maybe Queen Margrethe of Denmark?

Yes, this is Queen Margrethe, with Prince Joachim and then-fiancee Alexandra Manley
The Queens gown is quite nice, without these horrible bows

Queen Margrethe always goes for "over the top" ball gowns. Some are quite unique some are plain too busy. These bows were over the top. BTW Mr Miller opened the dance with Queen Margrethe the day of the wedding.

Wow! Queen Margarethe's dress was horrible. She looks like a cartoon character in it. The color was very beautiful on her, but those sleeves/bows are ridiculous.

She was always "over the top" Actually up until the latest crop of newly minted princesses arrived, all the royal balls were a parade of "costume" liked gowns. There was no talk of fashion back then.

You sure hit the nail on the head with that one - it did look like a head of cauliflower!
MC's gown to me looked overwhelming to me - hot and heavy. It was a hot July day - a lighter fabric and design would have been better. I read that the wedding gown, veil, etc. cost @ $250,000.00 USD
MC looked like one of those dressed figures of the Madonna which one sees in big churches. All you can see is her face.
To me, Pavlos has always looked younger than his age - MC has always looked older than her age. Together, they are an unusual looking couple.
There is only about one phot shere Mrs. Miller is smiling - she always looks grumpy.

I actually liked the bouquet of roses. It was not one of those cascading bouquets that go on forever. Cauliflower? LOL I never thought of it this way.

I had heard $100,000 plus the round trip private plane ride to Rome to have a final fit and fly the dress and Valentino from Rome to London.

I always wondered if the ages given for the sisters were correct since I have the same impression.....Together, they are an unusual looking couple.

She is reputed to be a tough cookie as they say.....perhaps she is afraid to over stretch her skin. When she came on the scene she was a brunette now she turned blonde.....why not? She takes after her daughters, I suppose....

MC is much more prettier now...she was just too thin back then.
Alexandra also wore Valentino and Mama Miller and Pia wore John Galliano.They were really elegant and chic,but in my opinion,Anna Maria was fabulous.She was shining!!
