The European Royal Wedding of 2012! The Diamonds, Tiara, Flowers & an Oh So Stunning Elie Saab Couture Wedding Dress – Photos from Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg & Countess Stephanie de Lannoy’s Wedding
Posted on Monday, October 22nd, 2012 at 12:43 PMBy BellaNaija.com
Last year, it was Prince William and Kate Middleton, for 2012, it is Belgian Countess Stephanie de Lannoy and Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg’s turn to shine in the royal wedding spotlight.
Their grand wedding took place on the 19th and 20th of October 2012.
The civil ceremony which took place on the 19th of October 2012 was a classic event with the bride in a beautiful Chanel suit. That night, royals from all over Europe feted the couple at a pre-wedding dinner party.
On Saturday 20th October 2012, the bride dazzled everyone in her stunning lace couture wedding dress with a dramatic 13 feet train by Elie Saab. Her prince was in his military attire and the entire ceremony was filled with pomp and pageantry from the church blessing at the Cathedral of our Lady of Luxembourg to the exciting fireworks that ended the night.
Just days before their wedding, the royal couple gave their first official interview and the blushing bride said “I remember the day I met Guillaume I told a friend I had found an exceptional man with whom I shared many things in common….I really didn’t think such a man could exist. So of course I believe in Prince Charming…Not only do I believe in it – I also think I found it.“
So sweet!

Simple yet stunning looking bride, every inch a princess. Indeed less is more. Nice.
Nobody can compete with the british when it comes to elegance. The royal wedding last year is something for the europeans to aspire to, it was enchanting in every sense. Still smiling from the memories. Erhhh this one too wasn’t bad
I take it you have never been to France or seen French women, that is the definition of elegance. Everyday French women are elegant have you seen everyday white british women??? No wonder they were banned from going to Tescos in their pyjamas. The British are at the bottom of the pile in western europe when it comes to elegance my dear
well said
I agree with you…
Money good o, Elie Saab u r still my best in wedding dresses, will surely wear one of your designs. The gown is WOW, money talks. I also noticed that the girls including the bride was properly covered, HML to you guys sha, hear say Luxembourg na rich country.
This is exactly wat i read in all dis historical romance novel and didnt know they still exist…Every girl wants to marry a Prince….Me!!! I want to marry Prince Harry (Since kate has taken william away from me), want to have a fairly tale wedding….I just love weddings…And this particulary one is …..(looking for a word) ……………………………………………Exquisite
OMG the wedding dress is wicked
I’m still wondering how dis take concern Nigerians and all our wahalas.
lighten up love.
I was thinking the same thing… there are plenty of sites where European style weddings are featured.

@Naveah, are you from Nairaland… with this your comment. If you are not interested in a post, then you move on to another.
Mr Saab been trying to take Sis Wang’s place in my heart of recent. Sigh. The dress and that train is absolutely royal. Simplicity will always be appreciated!
@ naveah ..abi o…….if it was a nigerian bride people would pour venom on how the dress is too simple,,,, the groom is too hairy etc not a lot of love amongst nigerians
@I no send …pls don’t compare with naija…we R black in complexion n I believe simplicity won’t work For uS unlike d oyibos dat r already white n just need a little to Shiine…hml to d couple
LMFO…….
@Naveah, you are so ignorant, there are positive things happening in the world not only naija wahala as you so rightly pointed out. Free your mind and the rest will follow
@naveah….technology is not by force ,u can decide not to click on anything or better still stick to ur naija ‘dele times’…@ faith….that u r black does not mean u can’t shine when u dress less,doesn’t mean u should overdress cos of inferiority complex.
And whoever says British peeps are elegant,abeg need to widen your horizon
lol…..’dele times’…
bella where are the engagement pictures?
Looooool @ Toyin: where are the engagement pics. LOOOOOOOOL!

Silly, oyibo dont do engagements, duhhh
@ Abi the french take the biscuit when it comes to elegance, poise and good dress sense so dont even go there. i have seen the brits dress, it can be an eye sore. My fav pick was the last one with the couple gazing at the fire works
I love the bridesmaid’s dresses especially the one with the bow. Although Im scared If I say I want that for my own bridesmaids it’ll come out as trashy (with some people overdoing the back)……
See ladies we can be modest and beautiful. We need not show all our goodies to the world to be appreciated. Love the wedding dress. Happy Married Life to them
I LOVE THE GOWN!!!
I DONT UNDERSTAND ANYMORE O.
NIBO LATI KASAKASA(BAD CULTURE)… IF ROYALTY CAN LOOK LIKE THIS… I WONDER WHY PEOPLE CAN’T DRESS WELL… NO BREAST ON DISPLAY… LOVELY…
NIGERIANS… IMBIBE GOOD THINGS!
I love how my comments always brings the non factors to the yard LOL!
The bride looks decent and beautiful. A very classy wedding. Ellie Saab wedding dress which I read somewhere was made with about 50,000 beads. WoW!
Very Classy, Elegant, Simple, and Exquisite. This is kind of wedding I want my Heavenly Father. AMEN!
oh I forget the word DECENT!!!
Plls how much does an Elie Saab couture wedding dress cost. I need one in a us size 18 asap
WOW, this is simply beautiful.
wow! this is how I want to look on my special day- without the train though. Pure class and elegance!
‘if e no be panadol, e no fit be like panadol’. I practically zoomed passs all the pictures. Boring!!! All i took notice of were the wedding dress fabric, the train and the church the ceremony took place. Lobatan. Give me a Naija wedding and you will see FABULOUSITY at its finest!
AMEN
Thank God for the wedding,i hope our African ladies can see that you dont need to be nacked on your wedding day.
A lot of royals seem to be getting wed these days! I wish someone made a compilation post about their custom wedding rings!
Wow! She’s so elegant! and that dress…the veil… that must have cost a fortune! Then again, they’re royalty. They most likely got everything free.
Elegance + Simplicity.
