The WEDDING DRESSES OF Queen Victoria's Daughters Part Two

Princess Louise
As for the attire, Louise adorned herself in a resplendent white silk wedding gown embellished with deep flounces of Honiton lace, strewn delicately with flowers. Trimmed with fragrant orange blossoms, ethereal white heather, and verdant myrtle, the gown boasted a train harmonizing seamlessly with the ensemble. Atop her head, a wreath intertwined with orange blossoms and myrtle crowned her, while a short wedding veil of her own design, crafted from Honiton lace, gracefully adorned her visage. Secured in place by two of the three exquisite diamond daisy brooches gifted by her younger siblings, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, and Princess Beatrice, the veil exuded a regal charm. These dainty brooches, now in possession of Princess Michael of Kent, formerly belonged to her husband, inherited from his mother, Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent. Louise's fondness for her greatnephew, Prince George, Duke of Kent, and his wife, Princess Marina, is evident, as she bequeathed several jewelry pieces, including the cherished diamond daisy brooches, to Marina upon her demise in 1939.

Princess Beatrice
Princess Beatrice's wedding attire was a breathtaking masterpiece, meticulously crafted to exude regal elegance and timeless beauty. Her gown, fashioned from the purest white satin, was a vision of sophistication and grace. Delicate orange blossoms, white heather, myrtle, and intricate lace adorned the gown, adding ethereal charm to its already exquisite design. Lace adorned the gown's pointed neckline and cascaded down the sleeves, a testament to Beatrice's adoration for this delicate fabric. Her affinity for lace had grown to such expertise that Queen Victoria bestowed upon her the honor of wearing the cherished Honiton lace veil from her own wedding day, a privilege reserved solely for Beatrice among her siblings.
Atop Beatrice's resplendent locks rested a crown of fragrant orange blossoms, intertwined with a glistening diamond circlet adorned with radiant stars—a heartfelt gift from her mother, Queen Victoria. Her ears glimmered with diamond collet drop earrings, while a diamond collet necklace graced her neck, featuring a magnificent diamond cross pendant. Adorning her ensemble were an array of sparkling brooches—a diamond bee, a diamond rose, and a grand diamond butterfly, each adding a touch of opulence to her attire.
Her wrists bore the weight of precious jewels—a wide diamond and sapphire bracelet, a token of affection from her beloved groom, and a collection of five bangle bracelets, some adorned with dazzling diamonds, others fashioned from simple yet elegant gold. Among the insignias of her illustrious lineage, Beatrice proudly displayed the Order of Victoria and Albert, the Crown of India, the Gold Lion of Hesse, the Royal Red Cross, and the distinguished SaxeCoburg and Gotha family order.
In her resplendent ensemble, Princess Beatrice radiated a timeless beauty and an aura of regal sophistication, embodying the epitome of grace and refinement on her wedding day.
