There has been a couple who wanted to break the curse of weddings held on February 14. And even though they say that marrying on Valentine’s Day brings bad luck and bodes ill for the couple, Princess Leopoldina of Liechtenstein has said “I do” to Bruno Walter. And she did it in a simple and classic wedding in Lisbon.
The Portuguese capital has been the city chosen to vow eternal love, and although it was an intimate ceremony surrounded by close family and friends, the wedding dress did not take long to become the most pivotal detail. For, far from opting for an ostentatious princess-style royal look, Leopoldina chose a wedding look that was simple and elegant with a twist: blue ballet flats.
She is the eldest daughter of Prince Gundakar and Princess Marie of Orleans, sister of the Count of Paris, current head of the French Royal House and cousin of the ruler of the central European country. And she is related to the Orleans family on the maternal side, although her branch does not hold a direct institutional role within the principality, she belongs to the dynasty’s family circle.
Born in Vienna and with this dynastic context that places her as a member of the royal family of the world’s wealthiest country, Leopoldina, at 34 years old, has married Bruno Walter Pedrosa Joao, an attractive Brazilian businessman who led her to the altar in Portugal.
Aiming for the simplicity, the classicism and the abundant minimalism, the princess wore one of those bridal looks that never go out of fashion. Timeless, suitable for almost every silhouette, and with a design that leaves no room for error, it was a discreet dress that has little to do with what other members of the royalty usually wear.
Leopoldina wore a dress with a flared skirt and French sleeves.
Made in white satin, with a French sleeve with covered buttons, a boat neckline and a silhouette slightly fitted at the hip from which flowed a skirt with a gentle flare. These were the main features of a design that fit her figure to perfection and looked wonderful on her.
It also had a small rounded train and Leopoldina paired it with important accessories that took center stage. In addition to a plumeti veil with lace details, the floral appliqué in the hair and the imposing jewelry with aquamarine stones on both the pendant and the earrings drew attention.
The footwear consisted of blue ballet flats.
Although if we talk about elements that captured all eyes, the shoes take the top spot. It seems the princess took very seriously the idea of having “something blue” and completed her bridal look with blue ballet flats. No white pumps, nor classic shoes, she added the touch of color with this comfortable footwear.
She added jewelry with blue stones.
A soft makeup in which the inner-corner highlight stood out — she added a touch of illuminator to brighten the gaze — and an updo with the front strands left loose completed this very peculiar bridal look. And because, although it consisted of a simple dress, the accessories made the difference and personality.
