Inside their 'reception':

 

Newlyweds Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi danced until the early hours with a small group of friends inside a pop-up pub before they spent their wedding night in a glamping pod, it has been revealed.

 

The couple dubbed the marquee The Duke of York and filled it with sofas, a jukebox, draft beer and a dartboard.

 

Some 14 friends were invited to the celebration outside the Royal Lodge after the intimate ceremony at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor on Friday.  

 

A friend of the newlyweds told The Sun: 'I heard that everyone had a great night. It was totally relaxed.

 

'There was a bit of dancing into the early hours with the jukebox blazing away.'

 

Friends started arriving at the party from 5pm on Friday and many stayed the night in glamping pods. 

 

The party-loving Yorks ensured a high-spirited reception, featuring speciality cocktails, bespoke catering, an exquisitely decorated Indian-style tent and a bouncy castle.

Stunning

Absolutely beautiful

Very sophisticated

Although down played it was the most upgrade and classy of royal weddings.

Beautiful

Less can be more.

 

Thank you for sharing.

A closer look at her wedding dress choice makes me appreciate it more.  The lines of the *diamante* on the dress (which I really didn't care for before) seem to follow the design of the tines on the tiara.

 

I loved the flowers at the arched door and her bouquet, very feminine.

The close up pics of her dress have me liking it even more.

It is sweet in a princess-like way yet sophisticated.

Beautiful bride, handsome groom - and they look so in love!

 

AND --- Proud, proud grandparents! I read that the Queen has a special relationship with Beatrice. You can see it in her face in the picture. Smiley Happy

 

I also read they took other pics, including ones with their family and one with the bride's parents. They are not showing that because of the situation with Prince Andrew.

I really love her wedding dress. I love Victorian things and her dress is very vintage looking. The story behind the dress and crown I am sure meant alot to Beatrice. Beautiful bride and handsome groom. That wedding arch is exquisite and a beautiful backdrop for pictures. Beatrice supposedly is quieter than her sister and may have been okay without the pomp and circumstance. I also really liked Fergie' s wedding dress with all the embroidery on the bodice. It looks like the Queen went out of her way to make Beatrice' s wedding day special.

I find it interesting that such a stink was made about Charles marrying a divorced woman as did Harry, but not a peep about Beatrice (who looked just beautiful) marrying a man who has a child with another woman from a non-marital relationship.

 

Glad The Firm is getting with the times. I'm GLAD nothing unkind was said and I'll bet the little boy "Wolfie" is adorable.

I think it's fantastic they had an intimate wedding and were able to sneak it in under the radar.  She looked beautiful, and the history of her tiara and gown make it special.  However, unlike just about everyone, I don't love the dress.  I don't like the original, nor the changes made by Angela Kelly.  I think the thing that bugs me most is the square neckline which is my least favorite neckline on anyone.  The second thing that bugs me is the way the sleeves were attached to the original straps..  Replacing the straps and starting over with the sleeves would have been my preference.

 

I do think she looked BEAUTIFUL  however, and I think it's great they just got on with the wedding rather than waiting until things were better.
