Amal Alamuddin says her wedding to George Clooney was "romantic and elegant".
The 36-year-old lawyer tied the knot to the Hollywood hunk in Venice, Italy, on Saturday (27.09.14) and she has heaped praise on her wedding dress designer Oscar de la Renta for helping to make her big day extra special by creating a custom-made French lace gown.
Speaking to Vogue magazine, she said: "George and I wanted a wedding that was romantic and elegant, and I can’t imagine anyone more able than Oscar to capture this mood in a dress.
"Meeting him made the design process all the more magical, as he is so warm and such a gentleman."
The 82-year-old designer worked closely with Amal to ensure he designed the exact dress she wanted and hopes he made her dreams a reality.
He added: "It’s the most important dress in the life of a woman.
"Any girl from any walk of life dreams of that special dress, and I try to make that dream a reality for her.
"Amal and I looked at a lot of evening dresses and wedding dresses together, and we discussed what she liked. That gave me the idea of what she wanted."
George, 53, and Amal exchanged traditional vows followed by a lengthy kiss as they married at the historic Aman Canal Grande hotel.
The happy couple’s nuptials were part of a three-day celebration which began on Friday (26.09.14) with bachelor and bachelorette parties and concluded on Monday (29.09.14) with a civil ceremony at Palazzo Ca’Loredan, an official council building in the city, to legally marry in accordance with Italian laws.
