On 1 July 1862, in the dining room of Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, she married Prince Louis of Hesse. Seven months had passed since the death of the Prince Consort and the Royal Family was still in deep mourning. The venue was chosen so that the Queen would be able to avoid inviting the usual guests of state. From \"The Royal Wedding Dresses\" by Nigel Arch and Joanna Marschner (p.58): \"She wore a \'half-high dress with a deep flounce of Honiton lace, a veil of the same and a wreath of orange blossom and myrtle\'.\"[1] It was a simple style and not embellished with a court train.[1] Queen Victoria later confided to her daughter, the Princess Royal (Vicky), that the wedding of \'poor Alice\' had been \"more like a funeral.\"’ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding_dress_of_Princess_Alice_of_the_United_Kingdom ‘Princess Helena, the fifth child and third daughter of Queen Victoria, wore a dress of white satin featuring deep flounces of Honiton lace, the design of which featured roses, ivy, and myrtle, for her marriage to Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein on 5 July 1866 at Windsor Castle, Windsor, Berkshire, England. Her headpiece was composed of orange blossom and myrtle, and the veil was also made of Honiton lace.[1] She also wore a necklace, earrings, and brooch of opals and diamonds, a wedding gift from the Queen. Along with bracelets set with miniatures, Helena also wore the Order of Victoria and Albert.’ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding_dress_of_Princess_Helena_of_the_United_Kingdom ‘Louise wore a white silk wedding gown, heavily decorated with national and royal symbols, with deep flounces of flower-strewn Honiton lace. A short bridal veil of Honiton lace that she designed herself was held in place by two diamond daisy hair pins which had been presented by her siblings, Princes Arthur and Leopold and Princess Beatrice.[1] The hair pins were supplied by Garrard. The tulip brooches are now the property of Princess Michael of Kent, whose husband received them as a legacy from his mother Princess Marina, who may have received them from Princess Louise as a gift.[2] A bracelet was a present from her fiancé. The centre could be worn as a pendant ornament, with a large and fine sapphire mounted with brilliants and pearls and pearl drop. Princess Louise wore this pendant on a diamond necklace on her wedding day, and it can be seen in her wedding photographs. It was also supplied by Garrard.’ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding_dress_of_Princess_Louise_of_the_United_Kingdom ‘On the event of her wedding to Prince Henry of Battenberg at Saint Mildred\'s Church at Whippingham, near Osborne, on 23 July 1885, Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom wore a wedding dress of white satin, trimmed with orange blossom and lace,[1] the lace overskirt held by bouquets of the blossom entwined with white heather. There was lace on the pointed neck line, and on the sleeves, for the Princess was a lover of, and an expert on, lace. One of her most treasured possessions was a tunic of old point d\'Alençon which had belonged to Catherine of Aragon. Knowing her daughter\'s love of lace, the Queen allowed Princess Beatrice to wear the Honiton lace and veil which she herself had worn on her wedding day. It was a very precious possession to the Queen, and Princess Beatrice was the only one of her daughters to be given the opportunity to wear it.[1] Her veil was emblazoned with a diamond circlet with diamond stars, a wedding gift from her mother.’ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding_dress_of_Princess_Beatrice_of_the_United_Kingdom'
