Beautiful bride: Kourtney Kardashian pulled out all of the stops for her third wedding to husband Travis Barker as she stunned in a one of a kind Dolce & Gabbana bridal look
According to details shared on the D&G Instagram page, the show stopping dress took inspiration from the iconic figures of the Italian lingerie and la dolce vita.
It explained how Kourtney’s corset enhanced her silhouette thanks rich design and exquisite cuts, with expert tailoring techniques to emphasize her femininity.
Her trailing veil which was complete with floral lace appliqué was inspired by the flowers of the Portofino gardens, while it also featured a hand-embroidered with a large depiction of the Virgin Mary and the words ‘family loyalty respect.’
The embroidery used the cross stich technique and the words are a nod to Travis’ tattoo, which is a symbol of ‘alliance, respect and common devotion’.

The look was completed by tulle gloves and white lace pumps.
The beautiful bride wore her jet black tresses swept back in an elegant up do and she opted for a glamorous makeup look.
While Kourtney stole the show in her quirky wedding look, Travis looked handsome by her side in a double-breasted jacket with peaked lapels.
He teamed it with classic trousers with pressed crease and side-band, both in ‘superfine Italian black wool with tuxedo details in black silk satin’.
His look was bespoke and the materials and attention to detail aimed to create the perfect fit for the Blink 182 star.
Travis’ canvas and horsehair jacket is entirely hand-worked and strictly followed all of the rules of Italian sartorial tradition.
The lining of the garment was fitted with black silk satin, while he finished the ensemble with a black silk satin bow-tie, a golden cross brooch with black crystals and creeper-style shoes.

The lavish showbiz wedding’s sponsorship by luxury fashion house Dolce & Gabbana was previously revealed by MailOnline on Sunday.
Members of the Kardashian and Jenner clans have been repeatedly photographed in expensive Dolce & Gabbana outfits in the run up to the ceremony.
The worldwide coverage of the reality stars showcasing the brand’s clothes against the idyllic backdrop of the Italian Riviera is set to give millions of pounds worth of free publicity to the brand, which has been hit by controversies in recent years.
As part of the deal, guests were ferried from their hotels to Portofino harbour late in a fleet of four classic wooden Riva speedboats, furnished with Dolce & Gabbana accessories including animal print cushions and towels.

Guests walked a short distance into a tunnel in a nearby hillside where they will be able to access a lift to carry them up to the spectacular fortress where the ceremony took place.
MailOnline revealed that the Italian fashion house has been closely involved in organising every aspect of the lavish wedding celebrations which has been described as the ‘showbiz event of the year’.
Staff from the company’s base in Milan were sent to the resort in the lead up to the day to oversee preparations, and have been put up in local hotels.
Kourtney and heavily tattooed drummer Travis have also been staying on the superyacht Regina d’Italia which is believed to be owned by Stefano Gabbana, the co-founder of Dolce & Gabbana.

The yacht has been conveniently anchored offshore next to Portofino, just a short boat ride from Castello Brown and a neighbouring house which have been hired for the celebrations.
Staff carrying black bags and cases emblazoned with the name Dolce & Gabbana were spotted making their way into the medieval castle, with spectacular views over the Mediterranean.
Several clothes in suit bags, labelled as being for Travis, were conveniently pictured next to a Dolce & Gabbana shopping bag before being carried up a steep garden path into the rented house as preparations continued on Friday.
A member of staff at the shop, earlier smiled when a MailOnline reporter asked about the brand’s link up with the Kardashians, saying: ‘They are friends of the house’.

Asked about the Kardashians staying on his boss’s lavishly furnished 213ft yacht worth around £50million, he added with a grin: ‘He loves to have guests’.
Dolce & Gabbana has not officially responded to requests from Mailonline to explain the sponsorship deal for the wedding.
The lavish European ceremony was the third time that mother-of-three Kourtney and Travis have got ‘married’.
The couple had their first small wedding in Los Angeles after the Grammys last month and legally tied the knot last Sunday in Santa Barbara, California.
Kourtney was unsurprisingly seen in a Dolce & Gabbana wedding dress in black and white pictures of her big day which she released after the intimate Santa Barbara ceremony.

The Kardashians and Jenners have made very public displays of support for Dolce & Gabbana in recent days by wearing the brand’s clothes in the run up to the wedding.
Some of the clothes have been vintage items which would have been hard to source, according to fashion industry insiders.
Kourtney and Travis shared their first photos as newlyweds with their Instagram followers earlier this week.

Less than 24 hours after legally tying the knot in Santa Barbara, the reality star posted a slideshow of black and white photos from their big day.
‘Till death do us part,’ the mother-of-four captioned the snaps, featuring her straddling her spouse on top of a black convertible with ‘just married’ on the bumper before getting into the car and sharing a passionate kiss.
Travis posted an identical caption and same images of their big day as they announced the news to their fans and loved ones.

The lovebirds, who became engaged in October 2021, exchanged vows with a small number of loved ones and their security, including her maternal grandmother Mary Jo ‘MJ’ Campbell and Travis’ dad Randy, at the weekend.
After getting hitched, the reality star and drummer were seen driving off in a vintage car.
For her big day, the mother-of-three was seen wearing a short white dress with a plunging neckline and red heart adorned on the bodice and a traditional veil over her dark tresses, which were pulled back for the occasion.
