While Princess Beatrice and fiance Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi were married on Friday in an intimate ceremony in Windsor, royal fans were unable to see her stunning dress until today. The happy couple waited one day to post photos of their wedding, not to overshadow the investiture of Captain Tom Moore, the World War II veteran who raised more than £ 33 million ($ 41 million) for the NHS and charities. health during closure.
But the dress was worth the wait. This afternoon, Buckingham Palace released two stunning portraits taken by photographer Benjamin Wheeler, which showed Beatrice’s unexpected (and very elegant) choice: a vintage dress by designer Norman Hartnell, the designer behind the Queen’s wedding dresses. Isabel and Princess Margarita.
Beatrice’s gown, borrowed by the Queen, “is made from ivory-toned Peau De Soie taffeta, embellished with ivory duchess satin, with organza sleeves,” explains a palace statement. “It is inlaid with diamond and has a geometric checkered bodice.” The monarch’s trusted dressmaker, Angela Kelly, and designer Stewart Parvin, who specializes in bridal design, remodeled and put on the vintage garment especially for Beatrice.
In old photos of the dress, which the Queen wore at least twice in the 1960s (for the premiere of Lawrence of Arabia and for a state dinner in Rome), it is clear that the garment looked a little different originally. It had a more voluminous and sleeveless hem.
Like many royal brides before her, the princess paired her wedding gown with a stunning tiara. For her big day, Beatrice chose to wear Queen Mary’s diamond fringe tiara, the same sparkler Queen Elizabeth used for her nuptials (and which Princess Anne borrowed for her).
A beautiful bouquet, which included myrtle twigs, according to royal tradition, and a ring designed by Shaun Lane, who designed the engagement ring, completed the look for Princess Beatrice’s wedding.
