Princess Charlene is no longer in the bridal shadow of Princess Grace. Now a wedding icon in her own right, the embroidered Armani gown showcased her natural elegance.

They married “at home” in the Main Courtyard of the Palais Princier. The guests were almost outnumbered by musicians and priests.
Every detail of the wedding, from the setting to the stirring music, was perfect (confirming my hunch that the Prince had a meticulous hand in the planning).
Best wishes to the newly married couple! Congratulations to Monaco!
