I have always thought that Maria-Theresas' dress was beautiful. I love the whole style of it because it really captured the winter feel.
Couldn't agree more! By th way, what a good looking couple they made, my gosh! One of the best looking royal couples of the last 50 years!ravergirl said:I have always thought that Maria-Theresas' dress was beautiful. I love the whole style of it because it really captured the winter feel.

Royal Weddings Message Board: Most Romantic February wedding: Henri & Maria-Teresa
Honestly, I think her gown looks very nice in some of the better quality photos, especially the official shot.
To me it was a very subdued, elegant, unflashy gown that complimented both MT's personality and also the solemnity of the occasion. She seems to be crazy in love with him even after all these years, which is a great thing in this day and age.
Sorry to say this, but I hate her wedding dress. I hope it was winter, cuz it looks like one of those Chrismassy type outfits.
I hate to be cynical, but I would be surprised if Maria Teresa were emulating her mother-in-law, especially given that Josephine-Charlotte was so unsupportive of her. As you may recall, before her marriage Princess Josephine-Charlotte of Belgium had been deeply in love with a commoner, but she was forced by her father to marry Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg. Perhaps in part because she was obliged to make this sacrifice (and if you look at her wedding pictures, you'll see that J-C seemed absent, almost zombie-like), she insisted that her children must make equal marriages. Her attitude seems to have been: "If I had to do it, then you have to do it also."http://img292.imageshack.us/my.php?image=609qa.jpgMT's wedding gown reminds me a little bit Josephine-Charlotte's wedding gown.
At certain angles, these older photos of Maria Teresa remind me a lot of Princess Caroline of Monaco. Their wedding day pictures look a lot a like (Caroline's first wedding is what I'm refering to).
I always felt that it was an 'unroyal' looking gown. It's not as grand as would be expected from the bride of the heir to the grand duchy.
Yes, it was a simple, ordinary gown
I liked her dress. The seams down the front elongated her figure. They really are a very beautiful couple
hmm....just one question....was she pregnant at her wedding? i mean...she looks quite chubby when you compare with other brides on their wedding day
