Princess Beatrice & Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi
Proving a wedding need not be huge to be spectacular, Eugenie's older sis wed the moment England's COVID-related restrictions were lifted in July 2020. Weeks after scrapping her original London nuptials, Beatrice borrowed a vintage Norman Hartnell dress from Grams to match the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara the monarch wore at her own 1947 vows and covered The Royal Chapel of All Saints at her family's Windsor residence in blush and white blooms. Less than 20 guests—including the Queen and Prince Philip—were on hand to watch the pared-down ceremony and a dozen or so more scored an invitation into the flower filled tent, where music streamed from an iPhone kept the party going well into the night.
Grand Duke George Mikhailovich Romanov and Victoria Romanovna Bettarini
More than 100 years after Tsar Nicholas II abdicated the throne and the House of Romanov was overthrown in 1917, the Grand Duke returned to St. Petersburg with his bride, daughter of Ambassador Roberto Bettarini. And lets just say the word "nyet" wasn't thrown around a lot when putting together their Oct. 1, 2021 ceremony for hundreds at the city's St. Isaac's Cathedral. (The couple, who each founded their own consulting company settled in Moscow in 2019 to run their philanthropic foundation.) Between the army of attendants seeing to Bettarini's 23-foot train, the wedding rings by Fabergé, a tiara from French jeweler Chaumet and the actual Imperial eagle embroidered onto the veil, one conservative Russian paper declared, "The Romanovs are Back."
