Diana de Cadaval e Charles D’Orléans: Os pormenores do casamento
Next June 21st, Diana Álvares Pereira de Melo, Duchess of Cadaval, and Prince Charles-Philippe d'Orléans, Duke of Anjou, will get married in the Cathedral of Évora. The wedding will be attended by nearly 400 guests, coming from all around the world.
Since her father, D. Jaime, 10th Duke of Cadaval, has already passed away, the bride will enter the church accompanied by her godfather, D. Duarte de Bragança.
A group of nine pageboys and flowergirls will escort Diana down the aisle, including D.ª Maria Francisca de Bragança, daughter of Duke and Duchess of Bragança.
The religious ceremony will be presided by the emeritus archbishop of Évora, D. Jorge Quintal Maurílio de Gouveia.
On this special day, Diana will be wearing an exclusive creation by Carolina Herrera, who is a longtime friend of the family, along with a family tiara, with more than a century, which was used for the last time at the wedding of the bride's great grandparents. It's an exquisite jewellery piece with diamonds and pearls, set on white gold.
The groom, on his turn, will be dressed in a special creation by the house of Christian Dior.
The wedding bands were made by Van Cleef & Arpels, in the famous Place Vendôme in Paris.
The guests were asked to wear tail-coats and the ladies to use hats.
Diana de Cadaval and Charles d'Orleans will have 16 wedding testimonies, among which is D.ª Isabel (Duchess of Bragança), Prince Jean of France (Duke of Vendôme and cousin of the groom), Prince François d'Orléans (brother of the groom), Alexandra of Cadaval (sister of the bride), the Duke of Feria and Countess Cornelia Brandolini d'Adda (cousin of the bride).
After the religious ceremony, a lunch will be served at the Cadaval Palace.
