Very nice European wedding

One of the best I've ever seen, including the color scheme.

The bride looks lovely from head to toe and the groom also looks great.

Her Prince Charming!

Princess Marie Caroline of Liechtenstein is every inch the elegant bride as she weds investment manager

MailOnline UK 31 August 2025

Princess Marie Caroline Of Liechtenstein was a vision in white as she wed Leopoldo Maduro Vollmer in a lavish ceremony on Saturday.

The couple, who announced their engagement in October 2024, held their ceremony at the Cathedral of St. Florin in Vaduz - although they are based in London.

The 28-year-old, who is the only daughter of Prince Alois - heir to the throne - and Princess Sophie, looked appropriately regal for her big day, donning traditional bridal white.

In true royal style, the bride sported a tiara, which she wore atop her blonde locks, which were styled into a chignon.

While the royal chose traditional white for her bridal gown, the design was bold, incorporating chic touches like sheer shoulders, and different fabrics including lace and tulle, giving the frock a textured look.

However, she did not shy away from the most traditional of bridal accessories - opting for a long veil which cascaded down the steps of the chapel.

Marie Caroline kept her make-up simple and elegant, letting her natural beauty shine through.

She opted for a dewy base, light berry lip, and natural eye shadow to make her eyes pop.

She was accompanied by her father as she made her way into the Cathedral, while her bridesmaids helped with her long train.

Crowds had gathered to share their well wishes with the happy couple, and as she waved at them, the princess beamed.

Princess Marie Caroline, who has three brothers, was the first of the siblings to announce an engagement and walk down the aisle.

She has one older brother, Prince Joseph Wenzel, and two younger - Prince Georg and Prince Nikolaus.

Princess Marie Caroline revealed she was engaged to Leopoldo Maduro last year via an official press release issued by the Liechtenstein royal household.

It read: 'H.S.H. the Hereditary Prince and H.R.H. The Hereditary Princess von und zu Liechtenstein are delighted to announce the engagement of their daughter, Princess Marie Caroline, to Mr Leopoldo Maduro Vollmer.

'The wedding is planned for late summer next year.'

The statement was accompanied by a portrait of the happy couple, which showed a beaming Princess Marie Caroline sporting a teal frock, while her beau looked dapper in a navy suit.

The groom, 33-year-old Leopoldo Maduro Vollmer is an investment manager.

Born in Caracas, he was educated in the UK, attending Harrow.

He then studied for his undergraduate degree at St Andrews. His postgraduate degree is from Queens College, University of London.

Meanwhile, his new wife got her Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design from Parsons School of Design in Paris and New York.

The guest list included a number of royals, including Prince Philipp and Princess Isabelle of Liechtenstein, Prince Nikolaus of Liechtenstein and Princess Margaretha of Luxembourg, and Count Franz Clemens von Waldburg-Zei among others.

Although Princess Marie Caroline's father is destined to be king, because Liechtenstein still operates under agnatic primogeniture rules - the only European monarchy to do so - she is not in the line of succession.

However, her eldest brother and her two younger brothers are all in the line of succession.

It's so nice to see a bride dressed like a lady on such a lovely gown. I don't care for the tight, low cut mermaid style gowns so popular today. The groom also looks great in his well cut morning suit.

I LOVE the dress. She looks gorgeous. In some pics, the groom looks like Pippa Middleton's husband.

I wish them a long and happy marriage!

Thanks for posting the photos. Saw some of them, and some others, on The Court Jeweler website as well as a description of her jewelry.

she presents herself with class and elegance. Good taste cannot be purchased. Many American brides show as much cleavage as they legally can, in gowns so tight every crack and crevice is outlined. Looks so low rent.

I love it when a bride looks like a bride, dressed in a beautiful gown. This is a fairytale wedding indeed.

well, she has to have nerves of steel that's for sure! No way could you get me, to walk up those steep stairs in heels and a wedding dress. Good grief. Lovely photo op though. I got dizzy just looking at photo lol

What a lovely bride. Yes, these portraits are made for posterity, not for today, like many Hollywood and even some not Hollywood American brides. These pictures will become historical, so no indecent cleavage for them and no see-thru showing where the baby business begins and ends. No twerking and no jerking.

Just an observation but does the husband remind you of James Matthews, Philippa Middleton's husband. Just thinking how these aristocrat husband's are all tall and thin.
