Princess Olympia of Greece served as a bridesmaid at her aunt Princess Theodora‘s wedding. The 28-year-old daughter of Crown Prince Pavlos and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal looked pretty in a periwinkle dress and her hair slicked back in a bun at the ceremony on Sept. 28. Olympia’s first cousin Arrietta Morales de Grecia, daughter of Pavlos’ older sister Princess Alexia, was also a bridesmaid at the wedding.
Theodora wore an off-the-shoulder gown designed by Celia Kritharioti for her big day. The Greek designer shared a video of the Princess’ dress on Instagram, writing: “A royal wedding dress crafted with love, perfectly matching the grace, quality, politeness, and elegance of Princess Theodora, @tgreece an exceptional and loving bride.🩵All our warmest wishes for a life full of Love and Happiness.” Like her older sister Alexia, Theodora dazzled on her wedding day wearing the Khedive of Egypt tiara.
Princess Theodora married Matthew Kumar on Sept. 28 at the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Annunciation in Athens. The bride, whose father Constantine II, the last King of Greece, died in 2023, was walked down the aisle by her brother Crown Prince Pavlos.
