The civil wedding ceremony of Pierre Caisraghi and longtime girlfriend Beatrice Borromeo took place on Saturday in Monaco. For the event, which was followed by an informal picnic for 700 guests hosted by Prince Albert and Princess Charlene in the Palace gardens, Beatrice wore a dusty pink v-necked, empire waisted gown by Valentino. The bodice of the dress was covered in gold lace which was also used to make mid length, floaty sleeves and trim the bottom of the skirt. Beatrice completed the look with a small headband of fresh flowers.

While an outdoor wedding with picnic is the perfect wedding to wear a hat, the only member of Pierre’s family to do so was his sister Charlotte. She topped her orange printed dress with a simple white straw picture hat trimmed with a wide sash around the base of the brim which trailed off the back of the hat.

For the formal dinner hosted by Princess Caroline Saturday evening at the Hotel de Paris, Beatrice wore a second Valentino design in luminescent grey and white silk organza (see her arrival on video here). The sparkling clouds hand embroidered and beaded on the skirt made for a rather dreamy ensemble that on any other day, would have likely been a twinge just too literal.

The happy couple will celebrate their religious wedding on August 1 on one of the Borromean Islands on Lake Maggiore in the bride’s native Italy (when one’s family owns some islands, it is a logical place to have a wedding). After these two Valentino couture pieces for her civil nuptials, I can only imagine Beatrice’s next dress will be spectacular.
