HRH D. Duarte Pio, Duke of Bragança & Isabel de Herédia 1995

[Elsa M.]

Later in the evening, around half past nine, a supper was offered by D. Miguel (brother of D. Duarte), in his house of Sintra.

It was attended by three hundred guests, most of all family and friends, in an informal environment.

The tables were spread by tents mounted on the garden and balcony, while the orchestra of João Balula Cid livened up the ball, until two o’clock in the morning, with a repertoire from the 20’s and 30’s.

 

[Elsa M.]

In the following day, at noon, the pianist also went boating with the guests, thus closing up a whole week of festivities for the marriage of T.R.H. the Duke and Duchess of Bragança.


Photos scanned from the magazine Olá! Semanário:

Yes. Infanta Margarita and her husban, the Duke of Sória, were the representatives of the Spanish Royal Family to attend the wedding.

This set, worn by Princess Maria Gabriella di Savoia was considered by some commentators as the best jewel worn during this wedding:

It's a diamond and pearl demi-parure, originally created by Musy as a diadem, for the 1st Duchess of Aosta.

This is so beautiful! It would be a dream to be able to wear something like this.
