Victoria & Maximilian

Belvedere Palace, Vienna

Some views need no introduction. The one from Belvedere Palace across Vienna is a world heritage site in itself, and that alone tells you what kind of place this is for a wedding. Victoria and Maximilian held their ceremony there, with the city spread out behind them.

From the palace it went out into the gardens for portraits, and then to a place no wedding day usually goes: a historic tram. It rolled the entire wedding party past Vienna's finest places, a front-row tour in which the newlyweds were the reason for every wave.

The evening belonged to the Palais Coburg. Dinner and a party in a house that grand were only fitting for a celebration this dreamy, full of heart and style.
