To all of the guests’ surprise, the bride waltzed into the hall wearing her second handmade dress: a cranberry red Italian silk peau de soie ball gown. Everyone was welcomed by a lively cocktail hour with music provided by Claudio Santaluce (playing the accordion and singing traditional southern Italian folk music) and individually packaged red velvet mini cupcakes as favours. Once dinner was finished and the dance floor opened, the bride changed into her third and final dress: a fully beaded sheath gown with Swarovski crystals, pearls, beads and sequins. 46
