Refined bride
As for the Infanta, she stood out wearing a delicate white wedding dress designed by designer Luzia de Nascimento with a silk mikado and a regal length of three meters. But it was especially with her tiara that she made a big impression. A magnificent jewel encrusted with more than 800 diamonds, inherited from Queen Amelie of Portugal (1865-1951), shone on the head of the 26-year-old young woman.
