Eugenia Martínez de Irujo, the Duchess of Montoro, attended the wedding of Antonio, grandson of flamenco singer Camarón de la Isla, in Cádiz on Sunday, August 16. The Spanish aristocrat chose a fluid blue design from French fashion label Maje for the ceremony, held at the Church of San José in La Línea de la Concepción.
The celebration brought together family and friends in an atmosphere marked by the memory of the legendary cantaor. Antonio, who is the son of Rocío Monje Montoya, paid tribute to his grandfather by carrying a customized cane featuring an image of Camarón de la Isla during an emotional day for the family.
Eugenia Martínez de Irujo is a Spanish socialite and the daughter of the late Duchess of Alba. Her appearance in La Línea de la Concepción, a coastal town in the Andalusian province of Cádiz, marked a shift away from the floral prints that typically dominate late summer wedding guest looks.
Family tribute in Cádiz
The wedding ceremony brought together close relatives and friends at the Church of San José. The memory of Camarón de la Isla, one of Spain's most iconic flamenco performers, remained central throughout the event.
His grandson Antonio walked into the church carrying the cane bearing his grandfather's image. His mother, Rocío Monje Montoya, accompanied family members for the service in La Línea de la Concepción.
Details of the Maje dress
For the wedding, Martínez de Irujo wore a long, fluid dress decorated with an all-over paisley pattern. The print was combined with delicate embroidery that added texture to the fabric and heightened the design.
The garment features a V-neckline, short sleeves, and a defined waist before opening into a long skirt with movement. The back of the dress incorporates a small cutout detail.
The piece originally sold for 375 euros on the official website of Maje, the Paris-based fashion brand. The dress is currently sold out.
Martínez de Irujo styled the dress with striking green and gold earrings and a fine necklace, leaving the blue color and paisley pattern as the central focus of her look.
Paisley trends for early autumn weddings
While flowers, polka dots, and stripes usually dominate guest attire during summer, paisley offers an alternative for late summer and early autumn events.
The teardrop-shaped print of Oriental origin has appeared in fashion collections for decades. It ranges from bohemian styles to sophisticated occasion wear depending on the choice of fabric and color.
In blue, the print acts as a transition piece between seasons. It retains the brightness needed for a late summer wedding while adapting to autumn when paired with closed-toe shoes, a structured bag, or a light blazer.
