Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg tied the knot with Nicolas Bagory in a lavish religious ceremony in southeastern France this afternoon.
The princess, 31, looked elegant in a flowing, off-white gown as she and Nicolas, 33, continued their wedding celebrations a week after their civil ceremony in Luxembourg.
Her dress was slightly off the shoulder, with pleated details, and Alexandra opted for a long veil decorated with beads and pearlescent embellishments.
She also wore an opulent tiara, and kept her make-up natural for the occasion.
Alexandra was accompanied by her father, Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg, as she entered the Saint Trophyme Church in Bormes-les-Mimosas for the religious event.
Her mother Maria Teresa, the Grand Duchess, was spotted entering the church a few moments beforehand in a bold navy and green fitted dress.
