Princess Marie Caroline of Liechtenstein was the epitome of a glowing bride in her first official wedding photo which was released on Saturday following her nuptials to Leopold Maduro Vollmer. The daughter of Prince Alois and Princess Sophie, 28, was radiant as she posed alongside her new husband, who works in London in investment management, flanked by their closest family members. The bride’s parents were all smiles as they stood by her, Princess Sophie looking particularly elegant in an Oscar De La Renta gown embroidered with cherry blossom.
Meanwhile, the groom’s parents looked equally happy on their son’s big day, with Leopold’s mother matching Princess Sophie’s well-dressed energy in a silver gown with matching accessories and an asymmetrical neckline. Completing the royal appearances in the photo were the bride’s brothers, Prince Joseph Wenzel of Liechtenstein, 30, and Prince Georg Antonius Constantin Maria of Liechtenstein, 26.

The Habsburg Fringe tiara dates back to 1890 and was originally made for the daughter of King Miguel I of Portugal, Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria. It has since been worn by a number of royal brides, including Archduchess Elisabeth to Prince Alois of Liechtenstein in 1903. More recently, it has become a mainstay in the collection of Princess Sophie, with the royal having sported it at the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden in 2010 and the wedding ball of Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco in 2011.

Princess Marie Caroline was walked down the aisle by her father, while her stunning veil was held up in the wind by her adorable young bridesmaids, who donned sweet Alaia dresses with sage green ribbon. After tying the knot, Marie Caroline and Leopold headed back out of the church where they shared their first public kiss as a married couple – so romantic! It was a right royal affair with not only the bride’s parents and brothers in attendance, but also Prince Nikolaus of Liechtenstein and Princess Margaretha of Luxembourg, and H.S.H. Prince Philipp of Liechtenstein and Princess Isabelle of Liechtenstein.
