We saw them in the background of a few pictures in previous posts, while they were arriving. What a nice dress and big smiles they had!

Love to see it's real colour. I read on twitter that lighting changes everything with these nude dresses!

The happy meeting of Prince and Princess of Kent, Lady Gabriella Windsor and the Greek Royal Family

Now here are two families that are really close: the Kents, their daughter Lady Gabriella Windsor and the Greek royal family. They all greeted and cheered with each other as they arrived to the Pre-Wedding Gala.

When I first saw Princess Tatiana's dress, I was afraid it was too revealing cleavage-wise and did not like it as much as I usually enjoy her fashion choices. And then I saw the back...

... and it killed me. Stunning!

I am sure Queen Sofia of Spain was very happy to meet her brother, King Constantine.

The style and elegance of Prince Nikolaos and Princess Tatiana at Danish christening

Prince Nikolaos married Tatiana Blatnik in August 25th, 2010. We covered the event here. They were here pictured attending twin princes Josephine and Vincent's christening in Denmark two weeks ago.

Did you know that Nikolaos is very close to his cousin Frederik and was even with him when he first met Mary? Click here to read the story.

I really love her style in these pictures. Seems like married life is agreeing with them.

Okay, enough with my cheesy comments.

[Christening] Prince Nikolaos and Princess Tatiana of Greece and Denmark

Here is a couple I had not seen in a long time. I guess since... their lavish wedding back in August. Prince Nikolaos attended his cousin CP Frederik's twins' christening with his adorable wife, Princess Tatiana. I am still absolutely bedazzled by her style in this photograph. No wonder she worked for years in the fashion industry.

BTW, pregnancy announcement soon?

[Fashion] Tatiana's wedding gown

A ravishing blonde in the mould of Grace Kelly, Prince Nikolaos of Greece's wife Tatiana didn't need much to look special. But her gown, a traditional yet sophisticated design from New York-based Venezuelan maestro Angel Sanchez, transformed her into a truly radiant bride, drawing gasps from onlookers as she arrived by horse-drawn carriage. Created from 40 metres of French Chantilly lace, the strapless dress featured a moulded bodice that showed off her slender waist, before falling to her feet and finishing in a sweeping train. Luckily, the designer was on hand personally to help her down and arrange her full-length veil. Covering her shoulders was a bolero in the same material that she took off for the reception. Her honey blonde locks had been fashioned into elaborate coils at the nape of her neck. The chic hairdo set off a tiara she'd been lent by her mother-in-law, Queen Anne-Marie. A family heirloom, the magnificent headpiece was also worn by Crown Prince Pavlov's wife Marie-Chantal at their 1995 wedding. It started life as a brooch that belonged to Queen Victoria of Sweden's daughter Ingrid, who married into the Danish royal family in 1935. Queen Ingrid then bequeathed the piece to her daughter Anne-Marie. Completing the fairytale look was a pair of diamond drop earrings. With such eye-catching jewellery, Tatiana wisely kept her make-up simple and accessorised with that unmistakeable sign of a newlywed – a dazzling smile.

Nikolaos and Tatiana's wedding: a little and last post to summarize it all!

As the sun dipped low over the hills on the picturesque island of Spetses, Prince Nikolaos of Greece, for years one of Europe's most eligible bachelors, promised to love and honour events planner Tatiana Blatnik in a ceremony that mixed pomp with traditional touches. A cheer went up from the crowd as Nikolaos, 40, the third of King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie's five children, arrived at the whitewashed monastery of Ayios Nikolaos, flanked by his mother. Constantine was deposed in 1974 – but it was clear from the hundreds of enthusiastic well wishers clamouring to greet the groom that the family still has a hold on the public imagination. Also lending an aura of royal glamour to the occasion was the dazzling array of distinguished guests, decked out in full evening attire. Expectant Princess Mary, her blossoming figure swathed in a pretty patterned gown, represented the Danish royal family, along with her mother-in-law, Queen Margrethe, who is Anne-Marie's sister – making her the groom's aunt. Nikolaos' aunt on his father's side, Queen Sofia of Spain attended with her children. Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria and her new husband Prince Daniel, just back from their own honeymoon a few weeks ago were also in the congregation. Of course, though, the bride was the one everyone wanted to see. Sweeping up to the monastery in the horse-drawn carriage customary on the island, Tatiana, who works for Diane von Furstenberg, more than lived up to the expectations. Every inch the princess, Nikolaos' bride was breathtaking in an ivory Angel Sanchez gown with a chantilly lace overlay, teamed with a matching bolero and full-length veil. Completing the regal but feminine look was a pair of diamond drop earrings and the antique corsage tiara, lent by her new mother-in-law. Since her own father sadly passed away when she was small, the 29-year-old was escorted up the aisle by her stepfather Attilio Brillembourg. Once inside the elegant blonde received a wedding band to complement a stunning engagement ring, topped with a sapphire that was given to Nikolaos by his mother, who received it from her own parents, King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid of Denmark. Having arrived Ms Tatiana Blatnik she left HRH Princess Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark. But the applause that rang out from the throngs when she received a passionate kiss from her groom appeared to be prompted as much by the sight of a couple deeply in love as by thoughts of their status.
