Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg married Nicolas Bagory this afternoon in a lavish religious ceremony in southeastern France.
The princess, 31, looked elegant in a flowing off-white gown as she and Nicolas, 33, continued their wedding celebration a week after their civil ceremony in Luxembourg.
Her dress was slightly off-shoulder, with pleated details, and Alexandra opted for a long veil adorned with beading and mother-of-pearl embellishments.
She also wore a lavish 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 seen entering the church moments before in a bold navy blue and green fitted dress.

The lavish religious ceremony comes a week after Alexandra and Nicolas wed in a civil ceremony at Luxembourg City Hall.
The bride on this occasion had opted for a sleek cream wedding suit instead of a dress as she wore her dark brown locks behind her back in a low profile style.
The groom wore a crisp navy blue suit with a light blue tie.
After the ceremony, the beaming couple stood on the steps outside City Hall and waved to the adoring fans who had gathered to see them.

Until her 20th birthday, Princess Alexandra was excluded from the line of succession until 2011, when Grand Duke Henri adopted absolute primogeniture, meaning that all his descendants could be eligible for the throne, regardless of gender.
She was nine when her father ascended the throne in 2000 after her grandfather abdicated in his favor.
According to her online biography, Alexandra is fluent in four languages, including Luxembourgish, English, French, and Spanish. She can also hold her own in German and Italian.
During her studies – which she followed in the US, France and Ireland – the Luxembourg royal family showed a great interest in international relations and conflict.
She even did an internship at the United Nations in New York when Luxembourg was one of the non-permanent members. She dedicates her time to volunteering with refugee associations and enjoys sports, being an avid skier, dancer and tennis player.
