Mathilde's hat and clothing are beautiful. I love the pink colour.

Thank You for sharing those photos with us. Are there any close ups of the bride? Or perhaps her tiara? I would love to know more about her tiara....

At the yahoo group 'Royauté' you can see many pictures more, also a closer one of the bride's tiara.

HI&RH Archduke Martin of Austria-Este (1959- );
2nd son of HI&RH Archduke Robert of Austria-Este, Head of the Ducal House of Modena, and Princess Margherita of Savoy-Aosta.
(Martin is the brother of Archduke Lorenz who is married to Princess Astrid of Belgium.)

Married 2004 HSH Princess Katharina (1971- ), eldest daughter of HSH Franz Alexander, 8th Fürst von Isenburg, and Countess Christine von Saurma.

Point de Vue reported the tiara as an Isenburg heirloom, but it actually belongs to Archduchess Margherita..

The religious wedding took place at the Catholic church of Mariä Heimsuchung (Birstein, Germany) on Saturday, May 8th 2004.


(SeegerPress)

As the church could only lodge part of the 300 guests, many of them only attended the reception afterwards (at the Castle Birstein). Because of the rain, this had to be tranferred to the inside of the castle, instead of the garden, as initially planed.

Besides the guests already pointed in the pics, it was also attended by Grand Duke Guillaume of Luxembourg, the Dukes of Aosta, the Princes von Baden, Counts Karl-Eugen and Andrea zu Neipperg, Archdukes Carl Ludwig, Yolande, Felix, Rudolph, Anna Gabriele, Carl Christian and Marie-Astrid, Fürst Wolfgang Ernst zu Ysenburg und Büdingen, Fürstin Benita zu Schaumburg-Lippe, among others.

Would you please share some of them, so we can see the bride's dress?

The tiara belongs to the Isenburg family.

The Tiara belogs to the mother of the groom Archduchess Margherita of Austria, née Princess of Savoy-Aosta and is often worn by Her daughter-in-law Princess Astrid of Belgium

Any members of the Spanish, Liechenstein or Monaco families?

Thanks Stefan. :)
Point de Vue is not as realiable as I thought it to be on these things. :(

[uriel]

Can anyone post the bride's pictures? I really want to see the dress.

[Marengo]

Archduchess Marguerite looked lovely, the most elegant woman present IMO. The pale yellow looks good on her and the hat is very elegant.

I've just found these pictures on the website of the Gesangverein 1843 Wenings e.V.:







I posted the images thorugh Imageshack, I hope you can see them!

Oh, thank you very much indeed, Leonardinha! I was so wanting to see the dress, but for some reason, there seemed to be none!

Much appreciated!

The tiara looks a bit more flowery than the one Astrid normally uses, is it another tiara that Astrid's Mother in law has?

No it's the Sayoy-Aosta tiara.

Thanks Stefan! After further comparison, I was able to see that it is.

[ahanks]

Are you sure that's the Savoy-Aosta tiara? I know it's been 5 years but I'm pretty sure that she's wearing the Isenburg Floral Tiara for the wedding and then she switched to the Savoy for the reception.
