Crown Prince Felipe and his wife Princess Letizia were amongst more than 500 guests who flocked to Spain's society wedding of the summer on Saturday to see one of the country's best-known models, Laura Ponte, tie the knot with King Juan Carlos' nephew, Beltran Gomez-Acebo y Borbon.

Princess Letiza, who has rapidly become a local style icon since her May wedding to the crown prince, showed Spanish flair in a red Lorenzo Caprile skirt and black bodice top. Her handsome husband was decidedly dashing in dark tails with a crimson tie, which made a perfect match with the princess' ensemble.

Also on the guest list for the wedding, held in Segovia's La Granja palace, a one-time royal retreat, were King Juan Carlos, whose sister Doña Pilar is mother of the groom, as well as an elegant Queen Sofia.

The royal roster was rounded out by Felipe's two sisters, Infanta Elena and Infanta Cristina – accompanied by their husbands – and a close friend of both Beltran and Prince Felipe, Crown Prince Haakon of Norway.
