Princess Augusta married the Danish politician and Danish-Swedish nobleman, Carl Frederik Blixen Finecke, baron Blixen-Finecke in 1854. He held the family seat at Näsbyholm Castle in Sweden and Dallund manor in Funen and served as Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1859–1860. The marriage produced two sons.
