Wedding of Count Philipp von Neipperg and Paula Wolff April 26th 2008

[BurberryBrit]

Horrible wedding dress. OMG, so cheap looking.

This wedding gown reminds me fashion during 30-40's of XX c.
30's, 40's & 50's Vintage Wedding at Victoria * Rose

And is something like Queen Juliana's wedding gown Royal Wedding Dresses on Display post #51. But Juliana's was much much better.

More than plain, I would call it poor: poor gown (which was said to be inspired by her mother's wedding dress), plain hair-do, no tiara, no bouquet... I'm all for simplicity, but this looks home-made.

For me this gown looks better far than closely.

Maybe there was somewhere mention dress designer?

Doesn't she has some flowers in hair?

Paula Wolff's mother is Ladislaia (Eleonore Jeanne Marie) von Meran comtesse de Meran, baronne de Brandhof Ladislaia von Meran and has with her husband 9 children (including 2 pair of twins).
Paula's father has in his ancestors Fursts von Wrede. Her uncle is married to Marie-Bernadette von HAbsburg-Lothringen, principessa di Toscana.

I do not recall Otto looking that frail at the funeral, and I do realize he is 95. Unfortunately, he looks older than that.

In other words, two descendants of Emperor Leopold II have married; one a maternal Habsburg, the other a maternal von Meran (a cadet line of the Habsburgs).
Generally, cadet lines fade into obscurity, but not the von Merans who have a habit of continuing to surprise by marrying well.

They same can be said for the Hohenbergs.

Is he a descendant of Count Adam Albert von Neipperg, who wed Marie-Louise, the Duchess of Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla?

I really can't imagine someone actually taking credit for it. I won't be beating down their door when my daughters get married.

Yes, the very one. His wife, Empress Marie-Louise, was also Napoleon's second wife.

And they had three children. Their eldest daughter Albertine married Count Sanvitale of Fontanellato, whose castle was in my previous avatar. It's not far from where I live.

To us Marie Louise is still the Duchess. We call her Maria Luigia.

Yes Philipp is a descendant of Adam Albert, Count of Neipperg. But not from the marriage to marie Louise, from his first marriage to Countess Theresa of Pola.
