That tiara is my favorite among the Kent diadems, so I am happy to see it. I'm afraid I am not a fan of the wedding gown. It looks like a t-shirt on top and a plain satin skirt on the bottom. I am somewhat disappointed.

Hello refers to the veil as "Habsburg" lace. Huh?

Could it be the veil that Princess Alexandra wore to her own wedding? I've read that it was unusual for a bride (at the time? for a royal?) to have a lace veil instead of tulle.

Having a lace veil was actually pretty much the norm in the Victorian era. Victoria started the use of lace in bridal veils when she wore one made of Honiton lace for her wedding to Albert. She wanted to support the UK's lace-making industry and also commissioned the baptismal gown we all know from British lacemakers too. Of course, the lace she used was all hand made. If you weren't a wealthy bride, you used machine-made lace.

Excellent tiara choice, Marina is following the tradition. I wish I could see more of the veil, it is lace, I'm sure, it's also not the long veil, it's shorter.
Marina looks very nice.
