Her hair adornments sat atop a half-down, half up to, with her dark blonde tresses tumbling in loose curls past her shoulders. 

She wore little make-up, pairing a fresh, dewy base with natural blush and lips, and very light eyeliner.

Opting for a subtle, but elegant bouquet, she carried a small white bunch of flowers, featuring lilies among other blooms. 

Her beau was equally dapper, opting for traditional tails in navy, which he wore over a waistcoat.

He opted for a tie – in stripes of navy and maroon – and completed the outfit with grey striped trousers.

Following the ceremony, they enjoyed a reception at the  Chateau de Belœil – which is the Seat of the Princes of Ligne.
