description of what Mary's dress was made of: <http://www.smh.com.au/photogallery/2004/05/14/1084289894036.html>
It was really unusual to see gum leaves in her wedding bouquet.
The article below described her dress & veil.
So beautiful in satin and lace
The "something old" was eight metres of 100-year-old Irish lace, laid beneath the soft-panelled pleating of her full skirt, fashioned from 24 metres of duchess satin and lined in silk organza.
Another 24 metres of duchess satin was used to craft the six-metre- long train, which was managed with ease by Mary's attendants, Amber Petty and Mary's sisters Patricia Bailey and Jane Stephens.
Her veil, which featured the same Irish lace, was "something borrowed", formerly a gift to Frederik's grandmother, the late Queen Ingrid, from Crown Princess Margaret of Sweden.
