One day after they married in a civil ceremony, Prince Albert and Charlene Wittstock brought Monaco to a standstill as they exchanged vows in a religious ceremony yesterday.
Albert donned the cream summer uniform of Monaco’s palace guards while the bride wore an off-the-shoulder Armani gown with a five-metre long train. The dress was embroidered with 40,000 Swarovski crystals, 20,000 mother of pearl tear drops and 30,000 ‘stones in gold shades’.
It was crafted from 130 metres of off-white silk and took Armani’s team more than 2,500 hours to make.
