 Kourtney Kardashian and the meaning of her wedding dress

 

 

 

Kourtney Kardashian tells Vogue that designing her wedding dress with Dolce & Gabbana was 'a dream come true'. Here the details of the garment.

This Sunday, Kourtney Kardashian married Travis Barker in Portofino, Italy.

 

What is the meaning of Kourtney Kardashian's wedding dress?

 

The bride wore a one-of-a-kind Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda satin and lace corset mini dress inspired by 1960s Italian lingerie, all accompanied by a sweeping veil. On the headdress were hand-embroidered flowers inspired by the many Mediterranean gardens of the coastal city, as well as a representation of the Virgin Mary. The religious iconography, based on one of Barker's tattoos, is accompanied by text that reads 'I respect family loyalty'. She teamed it with a pair of tulle gloves and lace heels. "Designing my dresses with Domenico and Stefano has been a dream come true in every way," Kardashian tells Vogue. Barker's black double breasted suit was also designed by the Italian house.

 

 

 

 

The couple selected fashion photographer, Ellen Von Unwerth, to capture her nuptials portraits.

 

The wedding took place at Villa Olivetta, a house on the idyllic estate of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The turn-of-the-century dwelling includes a crenellated watchtower, alfresco dining terraces and sweeping views of the sparkling Mediterranean. On the hillside grounds are olive, eucalyptus, and cypress trees, romantic pathways, and fences made from natural knotted branches. As for the interiors? Unsurprisingly, they make a stylish maximalist statement: Vogue managing editor Hamish Bowles compared the aesthetic to 'Alice falling into surreal wonderland at the bottom of the rabbit hole' when he visited in 2005.

 

 

 

 

The assistants? The extended Kardashian family, including sisters Kim, Khloe, Kendall, Kylie, children Mason, Penelope and Reign, as well as mother Kris. Kim and Kylie's eldest children, North and Stormi, respectively, also made the trip, as did Barker's son Landon, her daughter Alabama and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya.

 

 

 

The Sunday nuptials were the pinnacle of a multi-day Dolce Vita event: The weekend kicked off on Friday with a welcome dinner at Ristorante Puny, followed by a boat trip on Saturday afternoon.

 

Weeks earlier, the couple attended a final fitting at the Dolce & Gabbana atelier in Milan, where they tried on their custom looks under the gaze of Domenico Dolce.
