Guests laid out picnic blankets and quaffed champagne but had umbrellas at the ready and often had to fix their fascinators in the blustery conditions.
There were huge cheers when the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh arrived.
The service was also attended by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Princess Eugenie, the 28-year-old daughter of Prince Andrew, kept breaking into a broad smile during the ceremony.
Her dress - with full-length train - was designed by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos, who founded British label Peter Pilotto.

It featured a neckline folding around the shoulders to a low back at the request of the bride, who wanted to show a scar from surgery to correct scoliosis when she was 12.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, acted as pageboy and bridesmaid.
Charlotte waved enthusiastically at the crowds as they approached the chapel, though negotiating the steps in the high winds proved tricky.
Charlotte struggled to keep balance, while pageboy Louis de Givenchy - son of family friends - took a tumble.
Some of the youngsters were seen giggling and joking before walking down the aisle, appearing to imitate the royal trumpeters.
However, George held his hand over his ear as the musicians heralded Eugenie's arrival.
The couple travelled by carriage from St George's Chapel into Windsor, before heading for an afternoon reception hosted by the Queen in St George's Hall at the castle.
It was estimated about 3,000 people gathered to cheer Princess Eugenie and her new husband.
Rachel Price-Greenow, from Hereford, admitted she had a tear in her eye watching the couple go by.
"I got emotional!" she said. "I was quite teary. It's just lovely. I love all the pomp and sense of occasion."
Georgina Moroney, from Swindon, said: "I'm a royal geek. It's just all part of our heritage. They're fantastic - I love the romance of it all.
"She looked so radiant."
