Royal and aristocratic young ladies posing for a bridal photo shoot

They are young, pretty, well-educated and belong to some of most traditional families living in Spain. Eight beautiful young women of the Spanish aristocracy and high society have played as models for eight fantastic creations, made for Pronovias. For one day, they became fairytale brides and the result is this spectacular article of Hola magazine.

Thank you for this beautiful thread Elsa and mtbcm! :)

I think the dress worn by Ines de Bagration Ulloa of Georia is beautiful. I wouldn't cry if that were my wedding dress!

Elie Saab, Ungaro, Valentino, Lorenzo Caprile, Badgley Mischka ... they design dresses for them

[Larzen]

The pictures are beautiful, the dresses and the girls as well but for me this is a litte "Is there an available Prince or atelast a a very rich man out there who wants to marry me?" Too bad the main spanish catch is married and has a girl already:p Im sure many of theese (or their parents) would not mind beeing Princess of Asturias.

Thanks for scanning it though:)

[HRH Mims]

Lovely dress....but I'm not that fond of Pillar Abella's train. Those huge flowers on it. Not my cup of tea, but I'm sure its someone else's.

Amazing ensemble of ladies. Brains and beauty and blue blooded, we have to tell Prince Harry there are options out there besides Chelsy! The Bragration Royal Princess or the Brazil Imperial Princess would make some lovely Windsors...or Grimaldi/Casiraghi wives

[KatieLouise]

This is simply beautiful! What a fabulous group of high born ladies they make. :) They give Hollywood celebrities a run for their money: this is real glamour!
