DREAM WEDDINGS

Two fabulous weddings took place this weekend and was of course covered extensively by the media.

The Rock´n roll wedding of supermodel Kate Moss and Jamie Hince of The Kills in the Cotswolds in England friday.
Kate Moss looked very pretty wearing a wedding gown of her long time friend, John Galliano. Respect!
The sheer elegant beaded gown looked very contemporary, even though  inspired by the 1920-30 flapper-style and suited her perfectly.

The second wedding was The Royal wedding of long time bachelor Prince  Albert of Monaco, who finally was getting married to his fiancée of five years, South-African swimmer, Charlene Wittstock.

Even though the rumors about a third illegitimate child on his side almost made the bride cancel the wedding last week. Apparently other rumors was saying, she tried to escape and made it to the airport, but was stopped and held back. Of course officials denies everything. But just think about all the money that are involved, the prestige, the sponsors etc. Even if it´s not true, it´s a good story. 

For the civil wedding friday Charlene Wittstock wore a light blue Chanel dress with a jacket, by Karl Lagerfeld, who is a long time friend of the Grimaldi-family.

In my opinion not to compare with the stylish wedding ensemble Grace Kelly wore at her and Prince  Ranier´s civil wedding in 1956 though.
A suit designed by Helen Rose, who also did her famous wedding-gown. See my previous post on Grace Kelly here.


But Charlene Wittstock really looked stunning in the Wedding-gown from Armani Privée, at the  Ceremony yesterday.
It was a very contemporary, simple, but heavily beaded column gown with draped shoulders and a long, trailing fishtail skirt and an extensive train attached.

The designers strategic nursing of their future clients payed off once again. I´m sure the gowns were gifts, because the publicity Chanel and Armani gets, makes it all worth while. For more facts on the wedding, check here.
