She topped off the look with the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara — which Queen Elizabeth also wore on her own wedding day. Originally, the tiara was crafted in 1919 for Queen Mary by Garrard and Co. It was made from a diamond necklace gifted by Queen Victoria, according to the palace.  

The groom donned a morning suit for the occasion.
