Wedding of Princess Eugenie of York to Jack Brooksbank

Princess Eugenie is the first Princess in England to get married since Princess Anne's second marriage way back in 1992. This was a small affair, so really you could say Eugenie is the first British Princess to marry since 1973 (Princess Anne's first wedding). 

The younger daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York wed her long time boyfriend Jack Brooksbank at St George's Chapel merely hours ago. Let's take a look at some of the pictures of the guests and of the stunning bride and groom.

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. Kate choice of dress is subdued as is her hat. The colour is gorgeous. She made the right choice in order not to take any attention away from the bride.

Probably reliving memories of their special day just a few months ago. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

Peter Phillips, son of Princess Anne and eldest cousin of Princess Eugenie along with his wife Autumn Phillips. I usually love Autumn's fashion, this is not a favourite though. Not sure what she was thinking.

Princess Eugenie's uncle, Prince Edward Earl of Wessex, wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex and their son James, Viscount Severn. I like the style of Sophie's dress but not a fan of black. It's a wedding not a funeral.

The Wedding Party

We all expected Princess Beatrice of York, Eugenie's elder sister to act as maid of honour or as a brides maid. Sadly this didn't happen. Princess Beatrice arrived with her mother Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York. The blue dress is beautiful and really suits her. I love that she chose to go without a full hat. This style suits her. Fergie's dress is gorgeous and matches well with her red colouring. The bow is a bit big on the hat and looks like she has ears.

Showing how much she has grown up since Prince William's wedding, Lady Louise Windsor the daughter of Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex and cousin to Princess Eugenie was in charge of the children. Louise looked stunning in blue and totally grown up. She did a fantastic job.

Prince Andrew, Duke of York arrives with the beautiful bride, his daughter, Princess Eugenie. We'll go into more detail about her dress and tiara later on.

The cuteness factor of Princess Eugenie's flower girls and page boys is off the charts. Starting with the back row on the left her attends are; Savannah Phillips (eldest great grandchild of The Queen, granddaughter of Princess Anne and elder daughter of Peter Phillips), Prince George of Cambridge, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, Maud Windsor (elder daughter of Lord Frederick & Lady Sophie Windsor), Isla Phillips (younger daughter of Peter Phillips), Mia Tindall (Granddaughter of Princess Anne and elder daughter of Zara Tindall), Theodora Williams (daughter of singer Robbie Williams) and Louis de Givenchy.

It's so sweet that Eugenie included everyone. The girls look so sweet and the boys are handsome. I love seeing Savannah Phillips and Prince George together, they're obviously extremely close and it shows.

You'll see Eugenie's dress is quite a thick material which is fantastic as it was a really windy day. She chose to not have a veil, but as you will notice from the behind picture when they're walking into the chapel, the train of the dress is quite long. It's slightly off the shoulder, with the shoulders folded over to give it a V shape. I think that really makes the dress. It's hard to tell, but when looked at closely the top of the dress has York Roses embroidered on to it. I'll try to find a close up so you'll be able to see it.

For her tiara Princess Eugenie wore the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara. This tiara was made in 1919, so almost 100 years old. It was first owned by Eugenie's great grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother. It is now owned by Queen Elizabeth II who leaned it to her granddaughter for her wedding. It's a beautiful tiara which brings out Eugenie's eyes and compliments her hair colour.

I'll leave you with some last images of the day;
