Behind the scenes: Charlene Wittstock getting ready for her wedding to Prince Albert of Monaco-
Wittstock's day started in her suite at the Hermitage Hotel where she was joined by Roberta Armani, Giorgio's niece. "My uncle wanted to make sure the dress was timeless and sophisticated," she said. "Charlene is blessed with an amazing body and spectacular shoulders, which is a fantastic base for any dress. The shade of ivory we chose suits her skin so well." The dress took three seamstresses 2,500 hours to make and featured a five-meter-long train adorned with 40,000 Swarovski crystals and 20,000 mother-of-pearl teardrops. "It was such a huge responsibility that we actually made two dresses just in case something happened to one of them," Roberta added.
