Quite by coincidence, I just saw the new version of "Jane Eyre" this week, and realized the costumes were also designed by Michael O'Connor, who also designed them for "Duchess." I'm in awe! :)<br /><br />Anonymous, weddings in the 18th c. were very small, even for peers. In this case, there was so much public interest in the wedding (think of it as a Hollywood celebrity wedding today) that Georgiana's family decided to have this tiny, informal wedding to avoid the curiosity-seekers. Georgiana's parents did attend; I'm not sure about whether the Duke's mother was still alive to attend (obviously his father was not.)<br /><br />Debbie, i thought it was interesting that she wore the gown more than once, too. I wouldn't quite call it "repurposing" but it's good to hear that all that magnificence was seen by a second, larger audience. *g*Isabella Bradford/Susan Holloway Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997375216314200469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-83785761505646663802011-04-07T14:48:47.670-04:002011-04-07T14:48:47.670-04:00With all the lavish expense amongst the peers of t...With all the lavish expense amongst the peers of those days, it is nice to read that she at least wore her gown a second time! She is a very tragically interesting woman from history.Debra Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256313302199653185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-46315606263390720932011-04-07T07:31:53.725-04:002011-04-07T07:31:53.725-04:00Obviously not a large wedding.

Perhaps the account meant the only people other than the family? <br />However, it isn't unusual to read of weddings with only the two witnesses present. Seems a waste of Georgiana's finery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-66209816870472323942011-04-07T06:49:37.083-04:002011-04-07T06:49:37.083-04:00hi thanks for sharing this

There were many stunning costumes, but that wasn't one of my favorites. Too bad there isn't a picture of the real Georgianna on her wedding day. Pearls in her hair and ten thousand pounds worth of diamonds must have been something to see.Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-88058302759063797022011-04-07T01:14:49.094-04:002011-04-07T01:14:49.094-04:00I believe it's hard to distinguish between fam...I believe it's hard to distinguish between family tree and family history.
