Ciara Wore Custom Cavalli Couture For Her Wedding And It Was Amazing

Ciara and Russell Wilson's nuptials at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire may just be the wedding of the summer. Naturally, a modern fairy tale wedding at an actual castle needs an au courant fairy godmother–like Cavalli designer Peter Dundas, who created a custom-made long-sleeve gown with a deep V-neckline, composed of white silk tulle, fully embroidered with floral, wheat and hummingbird motifs throughout, and delicate glass beading, covered entirely with precious Chantilly lace appliqué. We got a sneak peek inside Ciara's bridal suite the morning of her wedding to NFL superstar Russell Wilson for a close-up on her gown's stellar details and some sweet moments between the bride and Dundas just before she walked down the aisle.

For a sentimental touch, the dress' train featured the new couple's monogramed initials, and the matching custom-made silk tulle veil was embellished along its perimeter with the same Chantilly lace floral pattern as the gown. To accessorise the look but not compete with her all-lace gown and trimmed veil, Ciara donned a custom pair of Giuseppe Zanotti shoes for the day. The pair was a simple white satin mid-heel sandal with a thick lace ankle strap. Ciara is the first notable name to wear a Cavalli Couture by Peter Dundas wedding gown down the aisle, but after seeing this look, we're certainly hoping she's not the last.
