Peaches said:Whenever I see photos of this wedding it reminds me of those early 20th century royal gatherings, especially with the colour photographs. With the colour photographs, the colour is not as clear as it is today and the photographs appear grainy which gives it that 'painting' feel. I find this evident especially with the colour photos that have the grand chandeliers. Even with the black and white photos, the grandeur is still there.
By the way, how do you pronounce Baudouin's name?
To me, King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola represented the epitome of elegance.

It was Lorenzo Caprile (the same one who made the wedding dress of Infanta Cristina) the designer in charge of restoring the parts of the gown that were deteriorated by the time.Cathérine Bergeyck said:Fabiola wore a gorgeous dress, worthy of a queen, designed by Balenciaga. A few years ago she donated it to the Balenciaga museum in Spain.
Really? I didn't know about that! What a joke!Cathérine Bergeyck said:A well known anecdote in Belgium is that when Baudouin and Fabiola came home from honeymoon, Lilian had taken all the furniture with her and they came home in a practically empty castle.
