The bride wore the Württemberg Diamond tiara and her mother's wedding gown, which was designed by Jacques Faith in 1993. The gown was adapted by Munich designer Ursula Vogt-Ettrich. The page boys and flower girls were dressed in the same outfits worn by Princess Marie of Wied when she married Hereditary Duke Friedrich of Württemberg in 1993.
Baron Franz Ferdinand, however, wore a traditional suit, rather than his recently registered personal tartan with the Scottish Register of Tartans. The "design was commissioned on behalf of Franz Ferdinand von Feilitzsch and his family." The design was "inspired by his time studying at the University of St. Andrews and includes the family colors."
